Smith & Wesson has just made the Bodyguard 2.0 even more controllable with the addition of a Carry Comp variant.

About a year ago, Smith & Wesson unveiled the Bodyguard 2.0, a majorly redesigned and improved version of the company’s original .380 ACP concealed carry pistol. Now, the 2.0 model is getting an overhaul itself with the release of the Performance Center Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp.

The most substantial new feature of the Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp is its integrated Power-Port compensator. Located at 12 o’clock at the end of the 3.1-inch barrel, the Power-Port diverts gas upward to reduce felt recoil. Paired with low-recoil self-defense ammo, this will likely be a very shootable carry pistol. Other upgrades found on the Performance Center Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp include more aggressive slide serrations, blacked-out square notch Ameriglo Protector rear sights and Ameriglo Protector LumiGreen front night sights. The rest of the pistol’s features are the same as on the standard version.

The Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp ships with one 10-round and one 12-round magazine and is available either with or without a thumb safety. A 10-round compliant version is available as well. All three new variants of the Performance Center Bodyguard 2.0 have an MSRP of $549 and are available now.
