Owners of the Bodyguard 2.0 consistently point to its light weight and snag-free draw as the main reasons they carry it. The concealed hammer and compact barrel make it easy to pocket or carry in a small holster, and most owners appreciate how little attention it draws in an untucked-shirt carry situation.

The trigger on the Bodyguard 2.0 splits opinion. Shooters who practice regularly with a long double-action stroke adapt to it and find accuracy acceptable at defensive distances. Those coming from single-action or striker-fired pistols often describe the pull as heavier and longer than expected, and some have the trigger worked by a gunsmith. The aluminum frame is both praised for its light carry weight and occasionally criticized by owners who feel it transmits more felt recoil than a heavier steel revolver.

At its price point, most owners consider the Bodyguard 2.0 a competitive option in the small concealed-carry revolver category. The +P rating is well-regarded for defensive use. Quality control has improved over the original Bodyguard in owners' assessments, though a small number report early trigger issues that required a warranty return.
