M&P SHIELD PLUS VS BODYGUARD 2.0 DIRECT COMPARISON

[@CompactEDC]

Made the mistake of saying 12+1 multiple times! I meant to say 13+1 thanks ya!

[@anthonyvitelli39]

It's definitely a bitch to get 13+1 in those mags (even with an UpLula)

[@TheRealPuddlez]

Still a great vid bro

[@boblaws9851]

12+1 is correct for the Bodyguard 2.0, 13+1 for the Shield Plus.

[@Myemnhk]

I appreciate the comparison but imo these are even better together. The shield plus is a wonderful gun to carry every day and the bodyguard 2.0 is a fantastic pocket gun when the shield plus may be too large or you cannot carry it.

[@DarlingEbony]

Exactly! That's how I do it.

[@TADDs101]

I edc the Shield Plus in a Muddy River Tactical IWB hybrid leather/kydex holster. I am getting the BG 2.0 for the reason you mention

[@Myemnhk]

@@TADDs101 Muddy river is what im going to get for my cz p10s. Any complaints about them? They seem fairly priced and good quality.

[@TADDs101]

@Myemnhk you will be completely happy! I have 7 of their holsters, and they are all very nice quality. I have 4 of the comfort carry IWB hybrid holsters, 1 OWB paddle kydex, and 2 of the leather IWB holsters. They are all fantastic, and they are a great company who takes pride in making quality holsters

[@toadranger50]

IWB and ankle carry tag team.

[@IndianalandFishing]

I have both and absolutely love them. I carry the Bodyguard 2.0 at work and the shield plus when I’m not working

[@CompactEDC]

💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 thanks for the comment 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@stevekatz4372]

I fell in love with mine the instant that I felt it in my hand and it has turned out to be my EDC gun here in Sunny Florida!

[@CompactEDC]

Same here 💪🏽🙏🏽

[@tickedoff1438]

I’ve had one for only a couple weeks now, 100 rounds through it, no issues, and both mags locked back multiple times. It’s seems like a sweet little piece, and I bought it to replace my LCPII. But still waiting to get a few hundred more rounds through it, and receiving my holsters I’ve ordered, to replace my LCP. Do I like it better than my shields? No, the shields are the pinnacle of a carry weapon right now, but, if I’m truthful, I’m carrying my pocket pieces far more often than my 9’s.

[@jamesmills5856]

😅

[@Being_Joe]

Yeah, looking at the Bodyguard because it so small I would probably actually make it a habit to carry.

[@georgegravette1132]

Finally! A review of the Bodyguard 2.0 that compares it to the Shield instead of the Ruger LCP Max. While the Bodyguard and LCP are similar in size and caliber, it's always seemed to me that the LCP was the true pocket pistol, meant to be carried in a pocket, while the new Bodyguard was designed to appeal to folks who find even a micro-compact 9mm too large or too "snappy," and want an even smaller holster gun as an EDC. Well done. 😊

[@ManapuaMan]

I was thinking the same as well. Thank you for articulating.

[@CompactEDC]

Thanks for the comment brother 💪🏽🙏🏽

[@dingusog8144]

I agree however, I think that the BG2.0 is more than capable of pocket carry and therefore both suited for pocket carry and/or a smaller holster gun. I just got one and It certainly fits in my pocket with ample room! I love it.

[@truthseeker1581]

Definitely pocket carry my bodyguard. I wear fitted clothes looks like a phone in my pocket

[@Being_Joe]

I went to see both these guns in person today. Both feel great in my hand. The Shield Plus looks huge after holding the Bodyguard. For me the Plus has a nicer trigger than the Bodyguard. The trigger reset is longer on the Bodyguard and I did prefer it on the Plus but I feel there may be a reason it was setup like this. I am leaning Bodyguard right now because it is so small and it would be less of a issue to carry.

[@indysbest9851]

Love my bodyguard gun of the year for my needs. Carried the shield 2.0 before this release

[@CompactEDC]

💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 both are great guns! Thanks for the comment brother

[@thomasfox8027]

I own both! And when i want to go just a tad meatier yet, i carry my new M&P 2.0 with the 3.6" barrel. I absolutely adore all three. Love me some S&W.😍😍😍

[@CompactEDC]

Hell yea! 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 thanks for the comment 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@adoptdontshop3916]

Baby shield plus great summer carry.

[@CompactEDC]

Yup! 💪🏽🙏🏽

[@basementality4924]

I’d recommend some things for the shield plus. The handle it grips are excellent for this gun. Or even just adding grip tape to the front as a memory pad for your off hand thumb. Also the Magguts magazine extensions. Turns the 10 into a 13 and the 13 into a 15 with the same conceal ability. Also the pinky lip on the magguts is perfect.

[@boblaws9851]

Talon grips and magguts is how mine is set up. 13+1 using the 10 round magazine is amazing, and runs flawlessly. I suspect Magguts will be looking at the BG 2.0 mags as well. Flat spring, new follower and baseplate, seems doable.

[@ryanusa860]

I hope the next Shield update has that BodyGuard slide work. Looks great.

[@CompactEDC]

I think they will 🤞🏽

[@D809G]

I'm sold!..... Nice comparison, finally found my bday gifts lol

[@CompactEDC]

Hahaha happy to help brother! Hope you purchased your gun 💪🏽 thanks for the comment 🙏🏽

[@thomasfox8027]

Own 'em both. Wouldn't want to give up either.

[@CompactEDC]

💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 thanks for the comment brother 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@sog1272]

was seriously considering the BG 2.0 but with all the issues being reported, I'm not buying it until maybe late next year. The shield plus looks good to serve the same purpose as the BG 2.0 but with 9mm which I have 2 other guys that use that ammo. Hmmmm

[@pninnan]

You said slide release while pointing at the mag release

[@Jeffkeebz75]

I carry the shield plus or shield 2.0 integrated green laser every day! I pocket carry a Kahr p380 for pocket carry only when I’m in a gun free zone. Not sure if this 2.0 BG will make me want to switch it with the Kahr. Def looks nice

[@echosierra9990]

Both use the armor knight finish. The finish is impregnated into the slide material.

[@CompactEDC]

💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@flawlessrick]

Is there a small laser you can add to the bodyguard 2.0?

[@CompactEDC]

I don’t think they’ve made one yet.

[@adrianlouviere7650]

I AGREE!!! THANKS!

[@CompactEDC]

Thanks for the comment brother 💪🏽🙏🏽

[@MattO8929]

Does that TLR6 happen to also fit the Bodyguard 2.0?

[@CompactEDC]

No it won’t fit

Shield plus from Primary, bodyguard for backup

[@rushthezeppelin]

It's not cerakote. It's a nitriding process.

[@CompactEDC]

👍🏽 thanks for the correction brother

[@dsha2006]

i hear body bodyguard 2.0 is not optics ready. But, does that mean you can't mount any sites on it? maybe you can explain the meaning? I'm new. I really like the bodyguard 2.0 but also like to idea of being able to have a laser sight.

[@Jordant106_]

The slide is only 1.1” wide man no one makes sights for something so small😂 it’s definitely more of a minimalist deep conceal gun if you want lazers,lights & sights I’d just stick with the shield plus still compact and comfortable to carry but not so small to where you can’t customize it to a degree

[@boblaws9851]

@@Jordant106_ Actually the slide is only .75" wide, the frame is .88" wide at it's widest point.

[@sammyprestwood3182]

The extended version holds 13 + 1. Not 12 + 1 I know i own it to.

[@CompactEDC]

Yup! I corrected myself in the next vid 💪🏽

[@cgf338]

which one is more snappy

[@darenalleyne466]

👍🏾

[@johnkellmer5133]

Apples and oranges; different calibers, different modes of carry, different target audience. Same company, but making a comparison doea not make sense to me.

[@SuperSilentOps]

It might not make sense to you but I’m considering either getting the 2.0 or the shield I’m undecided to this video is perfect for me.

[@annley]

Shield plus definitely needs an update. Nothing crazy just updated slide serrations and a light rail

[@georgegravette1132]

Doesn't Crimson Trace make a laser/light combo that clamps onto the trigger guard and hugs the dust cover? I have a grip-activated laser that attaches that way.

[@CompactEDC]

I agree brother. Thanks for the comment 💪🏽🙏🏽

[@GaryMunday-c6j]

There’s no such thing as a 12-round magazine for a Shield Plus.

[@kingofladies04]

Great video. I love both of these guns. I own the shield plus and have held the 2.0 bodyguard but haven’t shot it yet. Did you find the bodyguard 2.0 to be soft recoiling like some KZbinrs are saying? “It feels like a 22” also are you from south Florida? It sounds to me like you have a Miami accent, which is where I’m from.

[@CompactEDC]

Maybe not as soft as a .22 but the fact that you get such a perfect grip on the bodyguard 2.0 you’re able to control and manage the recoil with ease. Thanks for the comment 💪🏽🙏🏽
