Description
Smith & Wesson Bodyguard Revolver Serial#CPK1553
The Bodyguard revolver line takes the classic S&W small-frame revolver and tunes it for modern concealed-carry needs. With a short barrel, compact grip, and either an enclosed (shrouded) or internal hammer design, the Bodyguard minimizes snag while offering a straightforward double-action trigger pull for reliable, instinctive use. Frames are available in lightweight alloys or scandium-grade materials on some variants, keeping carry weight low without sacrificing durability. Sights are typically low-profile to preserve concealability, and the simple revolver action makes the platform forgiving with a wide range of defensive ammunition. For shooters who want an easy-to-carry, low-maintenance defensive gun with proven revolver reliability, the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard revolver is a practical option.
