Shop this product to review specs and confirm current options. The SMITH & WESSON BODYGUARD is a striker-fired, polymer-frame micro-compact chambered in .380 ACP with a 2.75″ barrel—designed to balance concealment and shootability.

Key features and tactical advantages

The pistol pairs a flat-face striker trigger with an 18-degree grip angle for consistent sight alignment and improved accuracy in rapid engagements. A manual thumb safety provides an extra layer of user-controlled security without sacrificing quick deployment. The stainless steel slide with Armornite finish adds corrosion resistance, while a Pink Sherbert Cerakote option offers a distinctive, durable coating for those who prefer added personalization.

Sights, ergonomics, and reload readiness

For fast target acquisition the Bright Dot front sight includes a tritium insert, complemented by a black U-notch rear sight for clear indexing in low light. The reversible magazine release and included magazines—one 12-round and one 10-round—give flexible capacity options for carry preferences and local regulations.

Why .380 ACP for a micro-compact?

.380 ACP is a pragmatic choice for micro-compact platforms: recoil is manageable in lightweight frames, enabling faster follow-up shots and better control for new and experienced shooters alike. While a 2.75″ barrel means muzzle velocity is reduced relative to full-size pistols, modern hollow-point defensive loads paired with proper shot placement make this caliber effective for close-range defense and everyday concealed carry.

For those seeking a compact defensive pistol with sighted, low-light capability, solid ergonomics, and a practical capacity package, the SMITH & WESSON BODYGUARD is a focused option. Check current availability on the product page to confirm stock and configurations before purchasing.
