Nutnfancy provides a critical review of the Smith & Wesson 638 Bodyguard revolver, highlighting its long-standing appeal while candidly discussing its limitations for concealed carry. The review covers ergonomic issues such as a short sight radius, low-contrast sights, small grip, and a stiff trigger. It also addresses the inherent limitations of a five-shot .38 Special, including firepower capacity and difficult reloads under stress, recommending speedloaders and practice. Despite these drawbacks, the video praises the revolver's tight tolerances, superb quality, and evident Smith & Wesson expertise. Accuracy is noted to be good, with 3" groups achievable at 15 yards. The .38 Special +P chambering is deemed adequate with modern loads, though recoil can be snappy. Comparisons are made to compact semi-automatics, but the enduring trust in Smith & Wesson revolvers is emphasized. The review also details a significant trigger job performed by Impact Guns.
