S&W Bodyguard .380

I just bought a S&W Bodyguard .380. Actually, I traded for it with my Beretta Tomcat .32 ACP because I wanted more bang for my buck, but I wanted a lighter, more concealable gun my wife could handle. I'm looking for a good IWB holster that doesn't cause the clip to disengage from the gun when cocked and locked. I'm using an NRA beltslide. It conceals great but causes the aforementioned problem, I believe due to me carrying southpaw. Any suggestions? The built-in laser is really kool too!
 
i may not be any help but i did have a Taurus pt25 pea shooter for back up ankle carry.... had the same magazine popping out problem.... sold the gun because i might as well just carry a rock being the gun won't fire without the magazine in, even though one was in the chamber. Very disappointing. I haven't bought a pea shooter since. might as well buy a derringer if you can only get off one shot because your mag fell out right? another bad thing is most gun shop owners will say something like "try another holster!" That's just making them more money and now you're stuck with a drawer full of holsters that suck. Try another gun is my only opinion. I'm sorry to hear about that and I'm sorry that i might not be any help.
 
a little more history... gun's i've sold: Pt-25 for the Mag always releasing problem. Smith and wesson sigma .40 because the extractor broke before i reached 300 rounds(was a brand new gun). very disappointing. The last one I sold was a taurus 617 7 round 357... that one i would have loved to keep but i never carried it and i was offered damn near what i paid for it.
The guns i've kept: Para Slim Hawg .45. Glock 27. and i liked my slim hawg so much i bought a full size para gun rights that is a double stack. None of these guns are a disappointment in any way what so ever. If the gun won't do what it's intended to do (shoot the rounds out of the magazine). it's not worth keeping. Anyway i'll quit blabbing. i hope you can figure it out! good luck fellow gun owner.
 
Try Mackenzie Holsters I bought one for my Bodyguard 38spl and 380acp I highly recommend them, Lifetime warranty and mention XD Talk and get discount. Link Removed
 
I would take a look at the crossbreed supertuck or mini-tuck. I love that holster for my Glock 22. The molded kydex is good for both retention and not hitting releases. I just ordered a bodyguard 380 and I'm waiting for it to come in, but I think I'll pocket carry that gun.
