Bodyguard 2.0 pocket holster

Tried a new Uncle Mike's #3. The gun fits well and will work in the pocket, but the edge comes up too high between the trigger guard and and the grip undercut making it difficult to get a good high grip out of the holster. I found putting a thumb over the rear of the slide helps with a smoother draw as it prevents the rear sight from snagging on a pocket and pulls the gun up away from the holster allowing for a somewhat better grip. Still not the answer. Hope someone comes out with something BG specific soon.

Not arguing, lol. Can you share what model you bought? Or the issue is that they have not updated their listing on their website?

Actually, there's only model. Either your handgun in question fits or it doesn't. Fortunately for me, the BG2.0 *does* fit. ;)
I have no idea why their listing doesn't mention the BG2.0. :confused:
It's on Amazon for $25.99.

The Sticky SM2, which fits the LCP Max is a perfect fit for the BG2.0

I bought one and really like the fit, but the holster comes out of the pocket of my cargo shorts (top/side pocket) with the gun. Pressure against the leg as recommended by Sticky Holsters doesn't work with my bird legs. The only thing that helps is using my middle finger at the top of the grip in the undercut to nudge it downward during the draw, then it stays put. The Uncle Mike's #3 stays in my pocket, but I can't get an ideal grip as the top of that holster covers the undercut. Not a deal breaker but at least it stays in my pocket.

I have Cabala's 7 pocket hiker pants, which have big pockets too. I push the holster against the back of the pocket and it pops right off when drawing.

I tried to search for this and didn't find anything, so if there is already an applicable thread I apologize in advance.

My LGS has a Bodyguard 2.0 NTS on order for me and I hope to get in the not too distant future. I have been pocket carrying my M&P Bodyguard in a leather lined Remora, but wonder if that holster will work for the 2.0? If it does I'll use it, but if not I'm curious if anyone has found an acceptable pocket holster for it? Also, IWB holster suggestions would be appreciated as well.

Thanks for any input!

I picked one up last week and love it! For the holster I ordered a Vedder IWB Kydex, however I wanted to get a leather holster sooner than the Vedder would arrive. I did a search and found Muddy River Tactical and they make a leather holster for the new Bodyguard 2.0. so I purchased it. was like $30 and this is the most comfortable holster I have ever owned especially for this firearm. Dont even realize it is there. Best of luck my friend. You will love the new 2.0! IWB Leather Holster - Made in U.S.A. - Fast Same Day Shipping!
 
There are a lot of holster makers that are members of two groups on Facebook and they do a nice job in leather and Kydex:
S&W Bodyguard 2.0
Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0
 
Despite some trepidation at ordering from a guy with no website who just posted on Reddit, I went ahead and ordered a Bodyguard 2.0 holster from Chandler Holsters. Kydex, with a leather panel to break up the outline. Turnaround time was about 2 weeks, and the holster was $40 including shipping. I'm super impressed with mine. The leather panel is removable, and it fits better in my pocket with it removed, but it's nice to have the option and the price is right anyway. Mike is also very responsive. To order just email [email protected]

I am in no way involved with this business, just a happy customer. Pics and details available on his original reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/SmithAndWesson/comments/1ee0ols/bodyguard_20_holster/
 
I ordered a kydex pocket holster from PJ Holsters, it works well for me and the price was quite reasonable. I think delivery took about 2-3 weeks.

Any pocket holster made for the LCP Max should work for the Bodyguard 2.0.
 
My EDC's all ride in a DeSantis Super Fly or Nemesis when pocket carried. They do make both models for the Bodyguard 2.0. Stiffer than the nylon/fabric models with full trigger protection, no print concealment, and stays in the pocket on the draw. I have no affiliation other than a satisfied customer. For me, just the best pocket holsters on the market in my opinion.
 
I finally received my 2.0 from my LGS today and I felt the Remora I use for my other M&P BG was a bit too loose. I went to Remora's website and they now show a "2BG" holster specifically for the 2.0, so I ordered one with a leather lining. I'll let everyone know how it fits when I get it. As you can probably tell, I'm a Remora fan.

I could build one or both of these for you if they suit you.

I am a Remora fan too. One works for IWB or pocket carry.
 
I actually have a Remora that I should give a try. I don't find the Alabama to be particularly pocketable, at least for me.
