Unless there is something wrong with the barrel I think the thing that makes most guns shoot poorly is the trigger. My S&W .380 Bodyguard has a trigger pull so heavy that my Brownells trigger gauge doesn't read that high. Also kicks like a small mule. Can't hit shit with it. I am reasonable with other guns although old eyes don't help.
I owned a s&w bodyguard a while back.
The gun was just bad. It wasn’t accurate, and for whatever reason it jammed often.
I sold it.
a few years later I bought another one.
It’s accurate, and doesn’t jam.
it’s just a 300$ gun, I guess I can’t expect a whole lot out of it.
