When you need a reliable, concealable revolver for personal protection, the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 38 2.0 Revolver stands as a proven choice in the defensive handgun market.

Overview

The Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 38 2.0 Revolver is a five-shot, hammerless revolver designed specifically for deep concealment and immediate deployment. Building on the legacy of the original Bodyguard series, the 2.0 iteration introduces an improved trigger system, enhanced ergonomics, and a high-visibility front sight for faster target acquisition. With its lightweight polymer frame and stainless steel cylinder, this revolver offers a durable, corrosion-resistant platform that handles the higher pressures of .38 S&W Special +P ammunition with ease. The snag-free design and integrated Crimson Trace laser sight make it a practical tool for low-light defensive scenarios.

Who It’s For

This revolver is designed for the civilian defensive shooter who prioritizes reliability and simplicity over capacity. It is an excellent choice for new firearm owners who prefer the intuitive operation of a revolver without manual safeties or slide manipulation. Experienced carriers will appreciate the Bodyguard 38 2.0 as a backup gun or deep-concealment option for situations where a semi-automatic pistol may print or snag. The lightweight build makes it suitable for all-day carry, and the .38 S&W Special +P chambering provides sufficient stopping power for personal defense encounters. Law enforcement professionals may also use it as an off-duty or backup firearm. This revolver is not intended for competition or target shooting at extended ranges; its purpose is close-quarters self-defense.
