This M&P Bodyguard 38 is the No Laser variant, providing a clean, streamlined profile without an integrated laser. Its enclosed hammer design and DAO operation ensure snag-free carry and consistent trigger pulls. The revolver maintains a compact footprint with a 1.875 in barrel and 6.6 in overall length while keeping weight around 14.2 oz.
Construction emphasizes durability and corrosion resistance. The barrel is stainless steel, and the five-shot stainless cylinder wears a matte black PVD finish. The frame pairs an aluminum-alloy upper with a steel-reinforced polymer lower, all in a black finish for a cohesive look and practical wear characteristics.
Controls and sighting are straightforward and robust. A top-mounted ambidextrous cylinder release enhances accessibility, while fixed sights consist of a black ramp front and an integral rear notch. One-piece gray polymer grips with S&W medallions offer a secure, consistent hold.
Markings include "SMITH & WESSON • SPRINGFIELD, MA • MADE IN U.S.A." and the S&W crest. Identifiers include series M&P Bodyguard, model code BG38-1, and SKU/mfg part number 103039. This revolver is rated for .38 Special +P ammunition and is made in the United States.
