Carrying a defensive pistol requires a balance of concealability, controllability, and reliability. For shooters who prioritize a lightweight footprint without sacrificing usable performance, this compact offering delivers practical features tailored for everyday carry and close-quarters defense.

SMITH & WESSON BODYGUARD 2.0

With a black polymer frame and PVD coated controls, the pistol blends corrosion resistance with a subdued, tactical look. The package includes one 10-round magazine and one 12-round extended magazine, and the listed price is $444.99. Shop this product to view specifications and purchase options.

Design and Controls

Ergonomics are a standout: the textured grip and ergonomic profile improve control for a pistol this size. The reversible magazine release caters to left- and right-handed shooters while the striker-fired flat-face trigger provides a consistent, predictable pull for rapid follow-up shots. The serrated slide promotes positive manipulations under stress or with gloved hands.

Caliber and Applications

The micro .380 ACP cartridge is well-suited for ultra-concealed carry. While it has less muzzle energy than larger defensive calibers, .380 ACP in modern defensive ammunition offers effective short-range stopping power with reduced muzzle blast and manageable recoil—important in a 2.75″ barreled platform like this.

For those prioritizing capacity, the BODYGUARD 2.0’s 12+1 stated capacity and the included 12rd extended magazine raise usable rounds without significantly increasing the pistol’s footprint. These features make it a practical choice for concealed carry and backup roles.

Practical Considerations

Maintenance is straightforward: Armornite finishes on barrel and slide resist wear, and the polymer frame keeps weight low. Training with the flat-face trigger and practicing reloads with both magazines will maximize effectiveness. As with any defensive firearm, follow safe storage, handling, and local legal requirements.

For a compact, modern micro .380 with thoughtful controls, corrosion-resistant finishes, and increased capacity options, the SMITH & WESSON BODYGUARD 2.0 is a tactical option worth evaluating. Check current availability
