Excellant Self Defense Gun
Used to have both S&W bodyguards. The model 49 had a steel frame, and the model 38 had an alloy frame. Both were accurate and very dependable. Carried in the front pocket with proper holster or at the 4:00 clock position. They shot 158 gr. bullets to the point of aim.
I don't know if your gun is a newer model or not. No experience with lasers.
The only thing that you need to be aware of is lint getting around the hammer that is located in that humpback area. A dime can also get caught in there.
This gun is tops for close range fighting. The short barrel makes it hard to be taken away. You can fire the gun from a coat pocket. No worries over jams or failure to feed. It won't get hung-up in your clothing. It can be easily fired with one hand.
This set up is very popular, so it should be easy to find a holster.
The most effective load to stop the bad guys is the 158 gr lead semi-wadcutter hollow point in plus P. They are easy to find. Good Luck, Eagle

Blackhawk SERPA J frame, Blade-tech...
I'd look at a Blackhawk SERPA holster. It can be converted from paddle to belt & fit for ht or cant(angle). I'm not 100% sure it will fit the new type Bodyguard with the Insight laser aimer but it should.
Other good holsters include; Don Hume, Blade-tech, Fobus, Galco, www.Bianchi-intl.com www.Miltsparks.com www.COMholsters.com www.MitchRosen.com .
