S&W Bodyguard 2.0

[OK Corgi Rancher]

The LCP Max isn't my favorite, either. Actually, I'm not a fan of most Ruger pistols. But, I find it easy to shoot and it's been completely reliable for me. It's also easy to carry with 13 rounds of ammo.

Normally I would just order something like the BG 2.0 and try it out once I got it. But I've tried out a couple of Shield pistols and wasn't a fan of those. Go figure. So I'm gonna wait until I can at least fondle a new BG before putting the cash out on one.

Big Boys has a body guard 2.0 on it's rental wall if anyone is interested in giving it a try before you buy. I was in there this morning and the range counter guy let me fondle it. It is very thin and felt good in my small hands. Next time I'm there I'll have to try it.

First 100 uneventful rounds down range. This little gun shoots way better than it should. Mine had to have the sights adjusted rather hastily with a brass punch and small hammer. They move easier after a couple mags and some heat built up

Still a hair left but it was the lighting and me getting tired so I called it good. Zero malfunctions, only thing I don’t like is the slide stop shape, it’s edge is a little sharp against my thumb knuckle but adjusted my grip and no issue.

This target was 7.5 yards and one handed at a quick pace, no knuckle issue on handed I only experienced that when shooting 2 handed.

Yeah, pretty convinced to get one now. Thanks for the write up and pics!

There was one off issue with this particular example I will make note of.

In the rear lower roll pin, it was not fully seated through both sides of the frame properly. This created a little tightness in the slides action cause it was just enough out of alignment with the slide rails front and rear that it slowed down the action of the slide. Once I looked into it and realized the pin wasn’t evenly distributed to both sides, correcting it freed everything up and it’s very smooth now. I found and corrected this before I ever fired the gun, it was pretty easy to figure out just cycling the slide for dry fire practice

Is that the pin right at the base of the tang...where it turns into the grip?

The one directly under the safety

I've never been sold on the Smith's in the past, but I may need to look at one of these. Thanks for the write up.
