I'm aware they are different. I am saying that if they took a Bodyguard and made it slightly bigger for the 9MM round, you would have a gun the same size as the Shield, so why bother having two 9MM's that are the same size? Ruger increased the size of the LCP and made the LC9. I owned an LC9 and now own a Shield. They are virtually identical in size. There will not be a 9MM Bodyguard. S&W has a huge hit with the Shield. They can't even make enough to satisfy demand. They're not gonna waste time and money to produce a gun that is nearly the same size in the same caliber.
