Description
Smith & Wesson M&P Bodyguard 380 Serial#KJB9134
The M&P Bodyguard 380 takes modern striker-fired ergonomics and trims them into a tiny, carry-first package. Designed for shooters who need minimal printing and maximum simplicity, the platform delivers a short sight radius, intuitive controls, and a manageable recoil impulse for its caliber. Many Bodyguard 380s come with an optional built-in Crimson Trace laser (or are offered in laser-ready variants) to help with fast target acquisition in low light without adding bulk.
Despite its diminutive size, the M&P Bodyguard 380 is engineered with defensive performance and everyday usability in mind: textured grip surfaces for a secure hold, a recessed/low-profile sighting system for snag-free draws, and a clean trigger feel typical of the M&P line. It’s ideal for those who prioritize concealability and simple operation over large capacity or long-range accuracy.
