Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp: First Look

The original hammer-fired Bodyguard pistol was reworked by Smith & Wesson into the Bodyguard 2.0 to widespread success. Key design enhancements of the Bodyguard 2.0 include improved ergonomics, increased capacity, and a striker-fired trigger, all of which contributed to its recognition of various industry awards, including Guns & Ammo's Handgun of the Year 2024. Now, staying committed to innovation, Smith & Wesson plans to build on the success of the Bodyguard 2.0 series, with the introduction of a Performance Center model.

The Performance Center Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp, chambered in .380 Auto, is built with a ported 3.1-inch barrel, has a 10+1 capacity using a flush-fit magazine, and 12+1 with the extended option. It ships with Ameriglo Protector Night Sights out of the box and is integrated with Carry Comp series features to enhance the overall shooting experience. The new Power-Port located at the end of the barrel, at the twelve o’clock position, diverts gas upwards, reducing felt recoil, which in turn improves overall control. The aggressive slide design includes increased serration coverage for easier manipulation, lightening cuts for weight reduction, and a Performance Center Gray Armornite finish.

This micro pistol has an overall height of 4-inches, a width just under 1-inch, and weighs in at 11.8 ounces unloaded, making it ideal for an everyday carry option. A 10-round compliant variant is available, and users can also choose between manual thumb safety and non-thumb safety models.
