Pocket pistols are by no means toy guns. Sure, they typically come in a smaller caliber, but up close a .380 can do some serious damage. Remember, it’s only slightly smaller than a 9mm. If you need a refresher on the sizes of the various common handgun calibers, check out our handgun caliber comparison. With guns like this, it really isn’t size tha...
Carrying a gun this small opens the door for a lot of people to carry a gun more often. Did you buy a larger gun and don’t always carry it because of its size or weight? I bought my S&W Bodyguard specifically to deal with a problem I had with my regular carry gun. Any of you folks that carry know what it’s like in the summertime when its hot out an...
There areseveral variations of the Bodyguard 380available. Aside from the color, your options are a combination of whether you want a thumb safety (they are not quick to un-safety, I recommend going for the no-safety version) and whether you want a laser. The main consideration is whether or not you want the version with the laser, and if so which ...
The handguns I’ve shot have typically been larger than the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard. If you’re used to a sub-compact like an M&P Shield 9mm, when you go to the Bodyguard you’ll notice there’s a lot less room for your hand on the gun. It takes a little getting used to, but it shouldn’t be a problem. Another thing I had to get used to was the Bodygua...
Something you should realize right away is that the Bodyguard is not designed for long-range shooting, partially because of the size, but also because of that trigger pull. If you’re not squeezing the trigger carefully, its very easy to yank the barrel to one side when you’re firing. What’s only a slight error at 3 feet becomes a complete and utter...
Taking this little guy apart to clean and lube isn’t too bad. Make sure it’s unloaded, lock the slide back, turn the front rod holding everything together to the 9 O’clock position and pull it out. If your gun is new, it might take a small flat blade screwdriver and some patience to get it out. After a few times, you’ll get the hang of it, and thin...
Like even some of the best .380 pocket pistolscan be a little picky with ammo. Having a double strike capability with the S&W Bodyguard 380 is nice because if you have a light primer strike, all you have to do is pull the trigger again. Other pistols like a Kahr CWfor example, you’ll need to re-rack the slide. It still is my recommendation to pract...
Reliability 4/5 With higher quality ammo and some testing to find out what works for the gun. Accuracy 3/5 It’s not going to win any long-distance marksmanship competitions, but it’s more than adequate for self-defense distances. Ergonomics 3/5 All pocket pistols suffer from being a bit hard to get a grip on, but this one is better than most, and t...
Carrying the S&W Bodyguard 380is convenient, you almost forget you have it on you since it’s so light. Obviously, ergonomics, size, and weight can make or break a CCW, and the Bodyguard is an all-around solid pick. It might not be a standout, but it’s inexpensive and has great features. For my EDC and summer carry, it works well. Aside from procras...
