Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key improvements in the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 Performance Center Carry Comp?

The Carry Comp features a ported barrel and slide for reduced recoil and muzzle flip, a slightly longer barrel for potential velocity gains, and an improved trigger. These enhancements make it easier to shoot faster and more accurately, especially during rapid fire.

How does the Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp perform in terms of accuracy?

In accuracy tests at 15 yards, the Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp achieved a 1.25-inch group using 100-grain Super Vel 380 ACP ammunition. This demonstrates good inherent accuracy for a micro-compact pistol.

What is the recommended break-in period for the S&W Bodyguard 2.0?

The firearm generally requires a break-in period of 50 to 100 rounds. Initial issues, such as not going into full battery, are common and typically resolve after this period as the smaller parts and recoil spring function more smoothly.

Are there any common issues with the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp?

A notable issue is that the factory iron sights tend to shoot left, requiring adjustment or compensation. Additionally, loading the 12-round magazines to full capacity can be difficult initially.

How does the Carry Comp's ported design affect velocity?

Surprisingly, the ported version of the Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp showed an average velocity increase of about 25 feet per second compared to the non-ported model, likely due to its slightly longer barrel compensating for any gas escape.
