Smith & Wesson M&P Bodyguard 38 .38 Special +P Revolver with Integrated Crimson Trace Red Laser
The M&P Bodyguard 38 pairs Smith & Wesson’s proven lightweight revolver design with a factory-installed Crimson Trace laser, giving carriers a compact defensive wheel-gun that’s ready to aim in any light. Built on a hybrid aluminum-alloy and polymer frame, this 5-shot DAO revolver is rated for modern .38 Special +P loads and remains one of the few mass-produced revolvers still shipping with a laser sight in 2025.

What’s Included
- Smith & Wesson M&P Bodyguard 38 revolver
- Factory-integrated Crimson Trace red laser sight (user-adjustable; steady/pulse modes; red activation button)
The Bodyguard 38’s ambidextrous top-strap slider releases the cylinder—a design unique among S&W revolvers—allowing left- or right-handed shooters to reload without shifting grip.
Its 1.88 inch fluted stainless-steel barrel and cylinder wear a durable matte-black PVD finish that resists corrosion while reducing glare. The internal-hammer, double-action-only lockwork keeps the profile snag-free for pocket or ankle carry.
Front and rear sights are supplemented by the Crimson Trace laser, providing an instant point-of-aim whether the shooter aligns irons or activates the red dot with the side button.
