The bodyguard was my first hand gun. I liked it and could shoot it well and it looks bad (as in cool). It's light weight and easily concealable. I read about this gun jamming but, it only jammed 2x's on me and it was because I wasn't locking my elbows/wrists. Once I figured out how to shoot well, the gun never jammed. If it feels good, and you can shoot it well, then it might be a gun for you.
