Smith & Wesson Performance Center Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp Review


Listen Later

šŸ”‘ Bodyguard 2.0 Overview

  • Micro-compact .380 ACP: extremely small, lightweight, easy to conceal → perfect forĀ summer carryĀ orĀ deep concealment. ā˜€ļø

  • Capacity: 10 + 12 round mags. Flush 10rd for concealment, extended 12rd for grip.

  • Ergonomics: good stippling, low bore axis, controllable recoil.

  • Trigger: flat-faced, crisp break just under 4 lbs — light for its class.

  • Sights: tritium front + black rear (upgraded from orange circle on Gen 1).

  • Reliability: strong track record, virtually no malfunctions reported.

  • Finish: stainless steel with corrosion-resistant Armonite coating.

  • Maintenance: needs to be kept cleaner than larger pistols (sensitive to lint/debris).

  • Compensated Barrel/Slide → port reduces muzzle rise, slightly less felt recoil, faster follow-up shots. šŸ”„

  • Slide Serrations → deeper, grippier, easier to rack on a small pistol.

  • Sights → improved rear notch + glowing yellow-green front; more precise, easier to pick up.

  • Barrel Length → 3.1" (a touch longer, modest ballistic gain).

  • Cross-Compatible → shares frame with Bodyguard 2.0; owners can swap slides/barrels.

  • New Buyers → the Carry Comp is the smarter pick; small cost difference, but the porting, upgraded sights, and slide texture are worth it.

  • Current Owners → upgrade if you want the new features, but the 2.0 is still solid. No need to switch if you’re already confident with it.

  • Competition → stacks up well against Ruger LCP Max. The Ruger is smaller with capacity, but the Bodyguard 2.0 offers a fuller grip and lower bore axis for flatter shooting.

  • TheĀ Bodyguard 2.0Ā is one of the best micro .380 EDC pistols available — tiny, reliable, and easy to shoot well.

  • TheĀ Carry CompĀ builds on that with thoughtful upgrades, making it theĀ top choiceĀ for anyone buying fresh.

  • Overall: a trusted, confidence-inspiring .380 that even skeptics admit changed their mind about carrying the caliber. šŸ›”ļø
