I carry my bodyguard with an in the pant holster. Its comfortable and concealable. I have fired roughly 1200 rounds through this gun and absolutly love this firearm. If im going in a questionable situation thought i tend to carry my M&P 9C though. My mother in law lives in wilmington and being a southern boy those city slickers sometimes scare me at night. But back to the situation I've never had a jam or misfire with my bodyguard. I am an American made man though. I love my Smith and Wesson's. I have the chefs specials in the 9 and 45, M&P in 9 and 45 compacts, The bodyguard 38 and 380, I also have a glock a walther ppks a ruger lcp and a 1911. I am a gun freak you could say.
