My LGS is having a Christmas Sale, so, I put a Bodyguard on lay-away. Just in case my wife needs to get me something at the last minute? (Ho-Ho-Ho)
Then I went onto the Wolff website to order a set J-frame springs, so, that I can fine-tune it as necessary, like all of my other S&W revolvers. When what to my wondering eyes did appear, but, the following disclaimer:
"Note: Springs will not fit and function in Bodyguard J Frame with polymer frame."
So, I went back to the LGS to visit my Bodyguard, and I noticed that the side-plate & integral CT laser module, are not held together with normal screws. But rather, hex-heads and pins of some sort?
I also noticed that the grips are held on by a roll-pin at the very bottom, instead of a screw in the middle. Not sure if these changes are good or bad, maybe just different?
But, has anyone taken their Bodyguard apart and can describe what they found? Even better, does anyone have photos of the inside workings, that they could post?
Are any after-market springs compatible with the Bodyguard?
Are after-market grips (like Hogue) or other S&W J-frame grips compatible with the Bodyguard?
Not ready to cancel the purchase, yet, because I like some of the Bodyguard's other features. But, I would like to know what I'm getting into?
Thanx, Dave.
