Built by Smith & Wesson's Performance Center, the Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp is a striker-fired .380 ACP pistol made for deep concealment. It has a 3.1-inch ported stainless barrel and a two-tone finish, with a silver slide over a black frame. The Carry Comp porting vents gas upward to cut recoil and muzzle rise for faster follow-up shots.

Micro-compact .380 pistols live and die on recoil management, and that's exactly where the Carry Comp treatment on the Bodyguard 2.0 earns its praise. Owners consistently note that the ported barrel noticeably tames muzzle flip compared to a standard Bodyguard 2.0, making faster follow-up shots easier for a gun this small.

Ergonomics get mixed but mostly positive feedback. The grip angle and texture suit most hand sizes for a pocket-size .380, though shooters with larger hands sometimes find the grip surface area tight during extended range sessions. The tritium front sight is a frequent highlight for low-light carry use.

On value, the inclusion of two magazines, a flush-fit and an extended option, is seen as a real plus versus buying spares separately. The main gripe from the .380 crowd in general is ammunition cost and selection compared to 9mm, though that's a caliber-wide complaint rather than one specific to this pistol.
