Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 38 2.0 Features
The Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 38 2.0 is built around a double-action-only trigger system that provides consistent, simplified operation for defensive use, with an ambidextrous center-mounted cylinder release for intuitive left or right-handed reloads under stress. The orange dot front sight paired with a notch rear sight enhances target acquisition in varying light conditions for fast, confident shot placement, and the .38 Special +P rating ensures compatibility with a wide range of defensive ammunition for maximum terminal performance. The PVD-coated stainless steel cylinder delivers long-term corrosion resistance through daily carry and hard use.
The compact .38 Special carry revolver features a boot-style polymer grip that improves handling and recoil management while maintaining a compact footprint for comfortable concealment in a pocket, holster, or ankle rig. The aluminum alloy frame keeps total weight at just 14.2 oz for all-day carry comfort, and at 6.5" overall and 1.35" wide this is one of the lightest and most concealable .38 Special revolvers available for everyday carry. The drilled and tapped receiver accommodates a wide range of optic and accessory mounting solutions for shooters looking to further customize their setup.
The Bodyguard 38 platform has been one of Smith & Wesson's most trusted compact revolver designs since its introduction, earning widespread adoption among concealed carry permit holders, law enforcement backup gun users, and personal protection enthusiasts who demand a reliable, simplified defensive tool in a pocket-friendly package. The 2.0 update refines that proven platform with modern ergonomic improvements, enhanced sights, and an ambidextrous cylinder release that makes the revolver more accessible and intuitive for a wider range of shooters. For those who want a no-compromise .38 Special carry revolver built on decades of Smith & Wesson reliability, the Bodyguard 38 2.0 delivers.
