The HYPE is Real - Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 2.0

I kept thinking SOMEONE would come out with a frame and 12rd metal magazine that uses a Glock 42 slide...but it never happened. THIS is the gun I wanted (but I like the sub-micro "mouse" guns, and trying to get sub-3s Bill Drills from concealment with them).

[@Darthdoodoo]

Time will tell. Its hype is at peak but after a year or so we will have more information for comparison. I always wait at least a year or longer for new stuff to let others work out the issues. I have been thinking about the ruger for so long something better came out and I bet this is just the beginning of the super small poket pistols with good capacity craze. I hope they go even smaller and make a 32 or something like that 😂

Everyone is reviewing this today. Your comparison with the LCP Max was the best, other showed it briefly, just mentioned it, or didn't bother to mention it. So, thank you. I figured the BG 2.0 specs would be quite close to the Kahr CT380. They are. Except capacity of course. Want one yesterday! But, I gotta pay off 2 Smith revolvers I have on layaway 😂

[@rensuchan]

As a fan of .380 pocket carry in general, this is the most exciting looking pocket .380 option I've seen in a long time. I like my G42 but this seems to have more capacity in just about the same footprint, and I'd be able to get my pinky on it. I'll definitely be looking to try one of these out.

[@Blueroyalty]

Great honest review! I'm not a 380 fan but own 2 (taurus tcp and sig p238) for when deep concealment is necessary...but hardly carry as I don't trust the taurus as it's had reliability issues and the sig can be uncomfortable due to the hammer. I was really considering the lcp max but I'm so glad I waited to find smith apparently knocking it out the park with this!...especially due to the trigger and recoil I've seen in other reviews. Side note, it's funny you mentioned your job as I was wondering what was going on w your hands.

[@RPG_Bliss]

What a great video buddy! I’m sold! I was looking to get the LCP max and didn’t even know about this one!

[@Disastrous.Affect]

I went by my local tool store today, I knew they had one of these that wasn't for sale, I just wanted to hold it. Well, I ordered one.🤷‍♂ It reminded me of the S&W Equalizer, only miniaturized.🤣 I have held and been on the fence about the LCP MAX for a year now, it just never felt right in my hand. That Bodyguard 2.0 with the extended magazine, just perfectly melts into my palm. And I can dang near put my trigger finger in front of the muzzle with a full grip, that thing is tiny to feel so comfortable. I can not wait to get it here.👊 Excellent review as always man.👍

[@spnfirearms]

Yes exactly!! That’s what I’m saying they make it literally perfect for a pocket pistol. I appreciate you man, respect!

[@BillHimmel]

The Bodyguard 2.0 has the additional advantage over the Ruger of having the option of a manual safety! Might be completely irrelevant for the "tactical ninjas" and others, but matters a lot to a lot of shooters! Good job, S&W! ❤

While I would never want a manual safety, I know a lot of people (especially first time gun owners) feel the need to have it. HOWEVER, S&W needed to make it larger if they wanted people to be able to actuate it easily and quickly in a shooting situation. Maybe the aftermarket will make a better one.

[@jona5517]

AK, AR, revolvers, 1911s haven’t changed much either in their decades of history, yet people don’t complain about those all the time. In saying that…They really should step up their game. The 2.0 is smaller in all dimensions and a lot lighter, plus way more capacity. And your pinky isn’t hanging off like it does with the G42. So yeah I just completely contradicted myself lol

For the lolz. But also if you’re a felon and unable to own a projectile based weapon the BP revolver is basically your best bet.

[@Poindogindustries]

I have an LCP max, I thought this was substantially bigger than that. This is a lot more compelling seeing how it’s basically the same size.

[@ShellShock794]

The looks are SUPER deceiving. They used the space so much more efficiently than Ruger. The LCP just looks like it has so much dead space above the grip in comparison

[@ellwoodwolf]

They are 1/4 inch smaller than a p365.... You are trading 9mm for .380 for .25 of an inch....

[@DerpASherpa117]

True, but that quarter of an inch = making it disappear inside of a pocket, which is difficult to do even with the OG P365.

[@1stb1]

i'm assuming the "standard" ribbon shaped recoil spring and secondary wire spring in the 2.0 will make recoil more manageable than the single wire spring in the 1.0 and LCP Max

[@davidbrown2284]

That undercut and beaver tail make the pistol. It’s makes a 380 not just more comfortable, but also really good looking. It all looks like it’s to proper scale. From what I’ve seen, a sub 4lb trigger in a pocket carry is kinda nuts.

Wow another micro pistol without an ambidextrous slide release how lucky am I as a left handed person.

Yep… that’s why I went with the Mako, which is hardly “micro” more like subcompact. I wish they’d just remove the slide release altogether on micros.

[@Eric-tp4de]

As a lefty myself, it's easy to adapt and overcome. Using your index finger to slide release is easy and still quick. Sure it's nice to have ambidextrous, but not necessary. Now on the revolver side, the Charter Arms Southpaw is awesome. Using a revolver left handed was terrible until now.

Issues with mine thus far. 12 round doesn't drop free. Also Racking 12 round into chamber, it doesn't feed into chamber. Gets stuck. Lock slide back. Pull out magazine. Bullet flies out of ejection port across the room. Racking into chamber manually doesn't work with 12 round mag. Have to rack fast and hard with 10 round to avoid this problem. Also dry firing, sometimes trigger pull hits sticky point. Going to copy paste this in other 2.0 videos

I've been hoping for years that S&W would develop an updated Bodyguard. I wouldn't have guessed they'd design - what is essentially - a Mini Shield, but it makes sense. One could - theoretically, still carry the 1.0 as a backup with the 2.0 as a primary weapon. Otherwise, this 2.0 Bodyguard could fill each of those roles on its own. Very well done, S&W. It's looking like this will fill the niche that the LCP Max filled for me. In the summer I will - from time to time - carry an LCP II or a Bodyguard with a clipdraw in running shorts/drawstring shorts. That only works with a manual safety or some other additional trigger guard. Hopefully, someone makes a low profile trigger guard holster for the 2.0. I hate things in my pockets, though I'm sure most will carry the 2.0 in a pocket.
