Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0: The Micro Revolution Continues

Smith & Wesson officially launched the next evolution of its wildly popular Bodyguard micro-compact pistol. The Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 put 10 rounds of .380 ACP into an EDC package.

The original Bodyguard received plenty of acclaim to be sure. Whether as a backup duty gun or primary EDC defender, the compact package proved lightweight and reliable. Now S&W aims at increased performance in a micro package with the 2.0.

“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,” said Andrew Gore, Handgun Product Manager.

The 2.0 brings increased capacity via a flush-fit, 10-round magazine and extended 12-round magazine. Pistols come with or without a thumb safety, while the gun exhibits an updated profile as well.

The Bodyguard 2.0 measures 4 inches in height, less than an inch wide and weighs 9.8 ounces unloaded. The design provides a more comfortable fit and improved control, according to Smith & Wesson. The pistol includes a striker-fired design and new flat-face trigger for better consistency and accurate fire. Out of the box, it ships with a black u-notch rear sight and bright, tritium-insert front sight.
