Looking for a snubbie revolver for pocket carry, for all of the usual reasons that folks like snubbies. But, the specific features that have drawn me to the S&W Bodyguard are:
1. The laser beam runs above the cylinder.
I have CT laser-grips on another revolver and my trigger finger is always interfering with the beam, especially when I have my index finger off of the trigger and indexed along the frame. Besides, the Bodyguard's higher laser runs almost parallel to the bore-line, instead of being offset both right AND down on laser-grips.
2. The Bodyguard has it's cylinder latch on top, instead of on the left side.
I expect this very lightweight revolver to be fairly snappy with +P ammunition, and my strong-side thumb usually rests near the side latches of other revolvers. More than once, my thumb has been bruised or even cut by the side latches on other heavy recoiling revolvers.
So far, so good. But, I noticed on the S&W web-site, that unlike all of the other "Airweights" and scandium J-frames, the Bodyguard is NOT rated for "continuous firing of +P ammunition."Wonder why???
Thanx, Dave.
