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 integrated Crimson Trace red laser provides rapid target acquisition in low-light and no-light defensive situations, complemented by an orange dot front sight and notch rear sight for reliable aiming in any lighting condition. The .38 Special +P rating ensures compatibility with a wide range of defensive ammunition for maximum terminal performance.
