The Bodyguard 2.0 series adds practical refinements over earlier production, most notably the higher-visibility front blade with orange insert and a longer extractor rod for positive ejection. This example is the non-laser configuration, offering a clean, snag-resistant profile with its enclosed hammer and DAO trigger system.
Its hybrid construction pairs an aluminum-alloy upper frame with a steel-reinforced polymer lower, keeping weight down while maintaining strength at critical stress points. The stainless steel barrel is crowned, and the stainless cylinder wears a durable black PVD finish to match the overall black color scheme.
Controls are streamlined with an ambidextrous top-strap cylinder release that is intuitive for either hand. Fixed sights consist of a screw-retained front blade with the orange insert and a rear trench, providing a low-profile sight picture well-suited to the revolver’s compact 1.875 in barrel.
Factory markings include BODYGUARD 2.0 on the barrel and BG38-2 stamped on the yoke. This revolver uses a 5-shot cylinder and is rated for .38 Special +P. The one-piece black synthetic grip features textured panels and the S&W medallion for a secure, consistent hold.
