    Yep. They are Bodyguard specific Spegels.
    Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.

    Pat Rogers and I often discussed our shared live of the Bodyguard. We both carried them. His looked far worse than my old one I carried as a back up.

    My first J-frame was a stainless Bodyguard. I never liked the look, but I loved how it carried in a pocket when the only option was to bob the hammer on a 36/60.

    That is GREAT! That’s what my 442 looks like. It went through the Great Nashville flood of 2010...while on my ankle.

    Also to @DaggaBoy...forgive my ignorance, but what's the difference between a real Bodyguard and a reboot? Just the Hillary Hole?

    I think he means the yoogly despicable polymer one, and the .380 that rip off the name.

    YES! That's exactly what I mean. S&W reuse of names of old classics is shameful. Don't get me started on calling everything else they make an M&P.

    Poor man's Bodyguard

    In the early 80's, I read an Officer survival article written by Evan Marshall. He advocated for a Bodyguard carried in a pocket (either jacket or pants), opposite your primary duty weapon side. Up to that point, I had never really considered carrying a "back-up" handgun. Within a few days, I had Bob's Sport Shop in Westport, MA, bob the hammer on my nickel plated Chiefs Special for ten bucks. From then on, I carried my "poor mans" Bodyguard in the left rear hip pocket of my uniform pants, opposite my duty model 15. Fond memories from long ago.
