You sir have almost the exact same Jaybird that rides in my front pocket...
Every. Single. Day.
The only difference betwixt yours and mine is the pinned barrel. Mine is a no dash model as well. It a 1985/86 model where as yours is probably from the mid 70's judging by the Bangor-Punta box it came in.
I tote mine is a Galco "Pocket Protector" holster. They are about 25 bucks. You can buy more expensive ones, but why? The Galco holster is awesome. Don't buy their horsehide model pocket holster however. With it's stiff seam design on both ends, it tends to print in the pocket.
As always, YMMV.
I usually stoke mine with Federal 125gr Nyclads. If you wanna load it with +P stuff for carry, that'll be just fine...just don't shoot a steady diet of +P ammo through it.
Treat 'er well and she'll return the favor. My model 38 Bodyguard is probably the only gun I have that I'll never get rid of.
My dad's Smith & Wesson Victory model, my dept. issue 2nd gen Glock 22 and my Mossberg 500 are the three others.
I was fixing up a house, selling a house, buying a house, moving, and all that fun stuff that goes with it. Now I'm settled and have a bit for free time for gun porn. How have you been? I'll send ya a PM.
