(See New Post Below for update) It became unreliable!
Got a Body Guard 38. Like all J frames it conceals <span style="text-decoration: line-through">good</span> well. No external hammer. It's lightweight. I have only put standard 38 special through it, even though it is +p rated, as I actually worry about how it would hold up to the high pressure rounds over time.
The trigger is a heavy double action like most revolvers, which is ok. The laser is terrible, just to hard <span style="text-decoration: line-through">to</span> too get it on. Its also in an awkward place. You have to move the thumb to the top left next to where a hammer would be if it had one. Front sight is black, a colored sight or night sight would be nice, especially since the laser will be worthless in a real scenario if you had to draw, acquire target, and shoot fast.
Recoil is not bad with the standard pressure 38 rounds. Some might like an after market grip to get better stability.
Accuracy is one par with a typical snub nose. Just made for close encounters. I was able to put every shot in the 10 ring at seven yards slow fire on a man size silhouette. Rapid fire everything hit the man size silhouette within the 7 ring.
Over all <span style="text-decoration: line-through">its's</span> it's ok. Night sights would have been nicer than the laser. The button for the laser should have been on the grip. If your looking for a light weight snub nose, I think an LCR with crimson laser grip would be more practical, but I got a good deal on this, so it will work for now.
