Smith & Wesson has released the Bodyguard 2.0 micro pistol.

The Bodyguard 380 launched in 2010 to remarkable reception. Since then, the series has offered various models with lasers, external safeties, and even engraved slide finishes. With this next generation of micro handguns, Smith & Wesson set out to deliver a pistol with superior performance in a small and lightweight platform.

How does it compare to the original model? The Bodyguard 2.0 boasts a new profile, has a higher capacity, and includes modern enhancements designed for concealed carry. Chambered in .380 Auto, the pistol ships with a flush-fit 10-round magazine and an extended 12-round magazine, giving the user substantially more capacity, and models will be available with or without a thumb safety. The Bodyguard 2.0 has an overall height of 4 inches, a width just under 1 inch, and weighs in at 9.8 oz. unloaded. It also includes a striker-fired design and new flat-face trigger for better consistency for more accurate shots. Out of the box, the pistol ships with a black U-notch rear sight, and a bright tritium-insert front sight, allowing the user to rapidly acquire and stay on target.

“The Bodyguard 2.0 is a breakthrough new micro-sized striker-fired pistol from Smith & Wesson,” said Andrew Gore, handgun product manager. “Although small in size, the Bodyguard 2.0 has an impressive capacity, crisp trigger-pull, and exceptional controllability.” He continued, “The Bodyguard 2.0 is the micro pistol you have always wanted, and now can have.”
