First Look: The Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0

We take a quick look at the Bodyguard 2.0, Smith & Wesson’s new .380 ACP concealed carry pistol.

Micro 9mm concealed carry pistols are all the rage these days, but some still prefer their small automatics to be chambered for .380 ACP. The Smith & Wesson Bodyguard series has been a popular choice for .380 Auto carry pistols for years, but the company is now majorly updating the design with the release of the Bodyguard 2.0.

Featuring a barrel length of 2.75 inches, a 4-inch height, a width of 0.88 inches and a weight of 9.8 ounces (unloaded), the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 series is available either with or without a thumb safety. Besides the inclusion of a manual safety, the two models are otherwise the same and both ship with one flush-fit 10-round magazine and one 12-round mag. Other features include black U-notch rear sights, tritium front sights and crisp flat-face triggers.

Andrew Gore, Handgun Product Manager at Smith & Wesson, said this about the new pistol:

The Bodyguard 2.0 is a breakthrough new micro-sized striker-fired pistol from Smith & Wesson. Although small in size, the Bodyguard 2.0 has an impressive capacity, crisp trigger-pull, and exceptional controllability. The combination of new aggressive, but not sharp, slide serrations, and strategic texturing over the frame aid in the pistol’s superior performance leading it to the front of the micro category. The Bodyguard 2.0 is the micro pistol you have always wanted, and now can have,

MSRP for the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 is $449 and it’s available now.
