I have a new 2.0 that I have run 100 rounds through with no issues. Low muzzle flip. Smith knocked it out of the park on this one. Feels much like my Shield 2.0. Great review.

“Pocket fighting pistol” That’s a new term but there isn’t a pistol out there that would define it better than the S&W Bodyguard 2.0

@lordkiki347 5 ай бұрын

I agree with the term, the Ruger LCP max is a pocket “get off me gun” with a larger capacity. This is a “Pocket Fighting Pistol.”

Love mine. Carry it in a Muddy River Tactical IWB holster or a PJ pocket holster. Makes mg Shield Plus feel huge. In low threat environments 23 rounds of 380 isnt bad. Won't replace my Shield Plus but its a fantastic pocket fighting gun

23 rounds is good anywhere.

@Kaiserland111 4 ай бұрын

If you have less hand strength it might be a bit hard to rack the slide and load the magazine, but assuming that isn't a problem for you then it would be great as a first gun. Many people consider the .380 ACP round to be the lowest acceptable power for a self-defense gun so just practice a lot so you hit the target's vitals.

@carlteresa5935 Ай бұрын

Finally took it to the range a couple of times. It’s better than all of the hype! It’s a pleasure yo shoot and conceals perfectly. After 150 rounds, it racks easier and the safety works smoothly no issues whatsoever

Im a fan on the BG 2.0. ive had the 9mm Shield for years and have carried that in the summer and have had to be extremely selective with clothing, really annoying. The BG 2 with the desantis pocket holster is fantastic, literally looks like a wallet in my front pocket with fancy shorts not even baggy shorts. It completely disappears. Also the flush mag with the shield is harder to hang on to than the BG2.0 with the flush mag. Can get all 3 fingers on the BG where the shield 9 its like 2 and 1/8 fingers. Its really hard to visualize the size until you hold this thing, it absolutely fits like an extension of your hand. Also the trigger is really light so in the situation of carrying in a soft pocket holster like the desantis or sticky holster in condition 0 consider the safety version, Murphy's Law and what not.

My original single stack LCP still serves a purpose. When you need the smallest gun possible it fits where others don't.

@Editionsdesign 8 күн бұрын

New out of the box is super stiff. How many rounds do you need to run before is gets a little easier to operate ? Difficult for me as a older person to rack. what if I remove a couple turns off of the springs. Do you think it will still function the way it is supposed to ?

Outstanding review, amigo! I have the old BG and although it has never malfunctioned in 10 years snd hundreds of rounds, it is a b--h to get on target and has suboptimal ergonomics and aesthetics. I gotta check out this sweet machine soon. Wonder though if Sig or Glock has one coming out around the corner. Hmmm.

@fillmoreranger634 5 ай бұрын

Pocket fighting pistol? I would like to agree in principle. From most of the video reviews I have seen so far, I have a concern about shot placement spread (accuracy) at 5-7 yards. It seems to be a bit all over the place. Maybe the rear sight notch is too large? I am not sure. Usage of small personal defense pistols like the BG2.0 will most likely be in CQB situations with instinctive point shooting. Until shot placement proves to be more controllable for the average shooter at this distance, I would still consider this a higher capacity, “get off of me” pistol. Overall, it is an excellent design. I can’t wait to get my hands on one.

@terryoliver1410 5 ай бұрын

Take your wife or lady friend with you. You will be buying two. I have a large hand and I love it. With the flush mag Putting the pinky finger under it is really comfortable in securing the shot. This isn’t a target pistol it’s a personal protection gun. Center mass head chest going you won’t have a bit of problem. Trading something you haven’t shot in a long while and that’ll make the wife even happier

@steverusie6986 3 ай бұрын

I love the bodyguard 2.0 but I hate the magazines. They're really stiff and difficult to seat when full. After I ran a full mag using the 12 round, I was no longer able to add more then 2 rounds to it and then the follower popped out. Sending it back to S&W. The gun it's self is great and replacing my LCP Max.

@terrysaunders2026 5 ай бұрын

@danfaulkner: Those magazine problems seem to be a real thing for S&W in recent years. I have a Shield 9mm Performance Center 4” using 10, 13 and 15 round magazines. They all need 1 or 2 less in loading the magazines unless you dremel some lower surfaces on the bottom of the magazine follower.

No laser keeps the price down too apparently, I see they're about $380 ... reasonable. If I am going to step it up, I go full-sized. As well, still like my crimson laser option. (pro tip, crimson trace will send you free batteries for life for your crimson laser) Nice they redid the bodyguard, but I'm not scrambling for the credit card.

Just be careful when shooting these mouse guns with regard to the muzzle and your hands and fingers. Also the new bodyguard is striker fired so it's even more important than ever to secure that trigger in something that can't be compromised easily .

@Aspen7780 Ай бұрын

The weird thing is, this pistol is MUCH more of an M&P than the actual new M&P 380 ez. And the ez is a bit closer, somewhat, to an actual bodyguard. It’s like they got them switched.

I want one, but I think they're overpriced a little bit. By the time you factor shipping, shipping insurance, tax, and ffl, you're adding 100 bucks onto it. That's a grand total of 500 bucks for that thing. I understand that's just how it works, but the economy is killing a lot of us right now.

@eightyduece9670 3 ай бұрын

Be glad when aftermarket sights are available. S&W should be ashamed that their QC would send a $400 pistol out with the misaligned sights and that screwed up recoil spring that you have to do witchcraft on to get it back in. Almost every video shows them hitting to the left. Otherwise I like them. The QC guy or sight in guy should be carried behind the wood shed then given his walking papers.

Cabela’s doesn’t have any and you can’t order one {yet}❗️. Guy behind the pistol counter couldn’t (or wouldn’t) even venture a guess as to how long it will be before they’re available. I threw out ‘two months’ and he just kinda shrugged his shoulders as if it’d likely be longer than that. I guess the good times are rolling at S&W!

@@makertime6296 Exactly - perfect summation! Seems like its apparent market place success has completely caught S&W off guard.
