This is a hammer-fired, and it protrudes from the rear of the slide right before the trigger breaks. The slide is fixed and made of steel, which provides a durable and smooth action that will not get caught on the frame. It has both front and rear sights that allow you to perfectly align your shot. The Bodyguard 380 also has an impressive amount of controls for its size. This gun is also a double-action model meaning that the trigger handles both the cocking and firing with one motion. The trigger is made from a flat and smooth plastic that requires 9.5 pounds of pressure to fire, which is quite high for a small firearm. This gives you 12 rounds that you can always have at the ready. When you purchase the Smith and Wesson Bodyguard 380, it comes with two magazines.
This gun is a double-action semi-automatic firearm that can hold six rounds of 380 ACP ammunition in a single magazine. The Bodyguard 380 might be small, but it still packs quite a bunch. This is the part that really matters, right? Plus, you don’t have to worry since the ammo doesn’t add that much more to the overall weight of the gun. It is only 0.75 pounds without the ammunition, which makes it one of the lightest firearms you can find. If you go for something big like a revolver, the recoil can be a lot to handle, therefore decreasing your accuracy and increasing your risk.įortunately, the Bodyguard 380 is made for anyone looking for a lightweight weapon. If you are new to firearms, larger handguns can be a bit intimidating. It also easily fits in a small drawer if you need to have it close by while at home. This minimalist size makes this the ideal weapon for concealed carry purposes.
