Description
Micro .380s have always been easy to carry and less fun to shoot. Smith & Wesson's Performance Center went after that problem directly with the Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp. The 3.1 inch stainless steel barrel is ported, and the PowerPort cut in the slide directs gas upward as you fire, pushing the muzzle back down so your sights settle faster between shots. On a pistol that weighs just 11.8 ounces, that little bit of recoil management makes a real difference, especially during longer range sessions.
What Sets the Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp Apart
The standard Bodyguard 2.0 already earned a strong reputation for its improved ergonomics and trigger over the original, and this Performance Center version builds on that foundation. You get a flat-face trigger with a clean break, aggressive slide serrations with extra grip surface for easy racking, and Ameriglo Protector sights: a LumiGreen night sight up front paired with a blacked-out square notch rear that keeps your eye locked on the front dot in any light. The stainless slide wears a Performance Center Grey Armornite finish over the black polymer frame, so it looks as sharp as it runs and shrugs off sweat and holster wear.
Built for All-Day Carry
At 5.85 inches long and under an inch wide, this pistol disappears in a waistband holster or a pocket rig. The slim textured grip gives you enough traction to control it without chewing up your side during all-day carry. There is no manual thumb safety on this model, which keeps the draw simple and snag-free. Smith & Wesson ships it with two magazines, a flush 10-rounder for maximum concealment and an extended 12-rounder that adds capacity and a little more real estate for your pinky. That gives you 10+1 or 12+1 on tap in a gun that weighs less than most loaded cell phone cases.
For anyone who wants a deep-concealment .380 that is genuinely pleasant to practice with, this one belongs on the short list.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the ported barrel on the Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp really reduce recoil?
It does make a noticeable difference. The PowerPort vents gas upward as the round leaves the barrel, which counters muzzle rise and helps the sights settle faster for follow-up shots. On a pistol this light, that translates to a flatter-shooting, more controllable .380 than most guns in this size class.
Does this model have a manual thumb safety?
No, SKU 14416 is the no-thumb-safety version, relying on internal safeties and a consistent trigger pull like most modern striker-fired pistols. If you prefer a manual safety, Smith & Wesson offers the Carry Comp in a thumb safety configuration under a different model number.
What magazines come with the Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp?
It ships with two magazines: a flush-fitting 10-rounder for deepest concealment and an extended 12-rounder that gives you extra capacity plus more grip for your support fingers. Standard Bodyguard 2.0 magazines are compatible across the lineup, so spares are easy to find.
Are the sights usable in low light?
Yes. The front sight is an Ameriglo Protector LumiGreen night sight that glows in the dark, and the rear is a blacked-out square notch. That combination draws your eye straight to the front sight, which is exactly what you want for fast target acquisition in dim conditions.
