Bodyguard 2.0 Carry Comp Coming?

Looks like it’s available now, it’s on website. I personally like the BG 2.0 without a compensator but if there’s a market, cool. It’s a great gun and soft shooter already imo.

I just got the email notice on this release from S&W. Looks interesting and maybe a direct market competition for the soon to be released Sig comped version of the P365-380. I have both originals without comps. 380’s needing more reduced recoil and muzzle rise? Not sure about that. It’s nice to see 380’s get some love these days. I have four: the above mentioned two as well as the Browning 1911-380 that I put a red dot on, and a Cheetah 80x. I just don’t feel the need to comp a EDC 380. It’s for bad breath distance situations IMO. Don’t even need sights. But, Smith will sell a bunch just like Sig will. Do I need a fifth 380?

I'd love to see what your Browning 1911-380 looks like with a red dot on it. I've got the same gun and love it, but can't picture it with a RDS on it, given how narrow the gun is to begin with. I also have the 80X and put a RDS on that, and it's one of my favorite guns.

I just did a Google search on that Browning model with a RDS on it, and it looks pretty much as I envisioned it...a bit top heavy:

Just like Sig turned the 365 into a 320.

Well... There are certain controversial factors behind the P320 Fuse becoming a thing.

SIG didn't want to lose all of their market share if more and more LE agencies started banning carry of the P320, which is what's gradually happening.
 
I agree that putting a comp on a Bodyguard .380 is retarded. Not only does it lengthen the barrel the Performance Center version seems to have the same trigger. I buy PC guns because they have fine tuned the trigger and put better irons on them. Having top serrations on the slide doesn't really do anything for me. I guess I I buy one it will be the regular version. Does anyone know what issues they have resolved? The one that concerns me the most is the dead trigger that some get. A gun with a dead trigger is useless. Plus I have seen the gun lockup and won't unjam with certain types of ammo. I don't know how the person who had this problem got it unjammed they didn't say. I suppose they had to hit the slide with a hammer...

Check out the individual pistol you are buying at your LGS. Make sure the trigger is functioning (I think that dead trigger issue is very rare) and that it can cycle the ammo you really want to carry.
 
For those of us who are wondering if the new comp slide and it's components will fit on the current BG 2.0 frame, the answer is no. However, down the road, there might be another that does.
 
Frank, it looks a lot like that. Kinda out of place on a regular 1911, even more so on a 7/8 sized one. I’ll try to post a picture today.
I only did it to see how much more I could shrink my group sizes and to check for reliability. And, I like to tinker with stuff. And I had a spare dovetail plate and dot…
