Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main benefits of adding an optic cut and compensator to a Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0?

Adding an optic cut and red dot sight significantly improves target acquisition speed and ease of shooting by allowing for faster dot tracking. A compensator, like the Genghask comp, reduces muzzle flip, making the firearm shoot flatter and more comfortably, which enhances follow-up shot speed and accuracy.

How does the Monsoon Tactical optic cut and compensator modification affect the Bodyguard 2.0's performance?

The modifications transform the Bodyguard 2.0, making it shoot flatter and faster, with improved accuracy. Presenters noted it rivals the shootability of some full-size handguns, making it a 'game changer' for this pocket pistol.

What kind of accuracy can be expected from a modified Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0?

With the Monsoon Tactical optic cut and compensator, a group of just under 1.5 inches was achieved at 15 yards, and a group of just over two and a quarter inches was maintained at 25 yards, demonstrating excellent accuracy for a .380 ACP pocket pistol.

Does adding a compensator to the Bodyguard 2.0 significantly reduce bullet velocity?

No, velocity loss is minimal. Chronograph testing showed an average loss of less than 30 feet per second compared to the stock model, which is not considered a significant detriment to the firearm's effectiveness.
