Bodyguard 2.0 trigger

[tk]

is the sticker on this gun fully cocked, or is it partially cocked and pulling the trigger completes the cycle?

I can't see my sticker on my BG2, but I don't have to "cock" anything before I pull the trigger.

Sorry, don't have an answer for you, but that explains why I couldn't find a sticker on my gun!

AI Overview


No, the striker on a Sig P365 is not
partially cocked like some other striker-fired pistols (e.g., Glocks).

Here's how it works
When the slide is racked and a round is chambered on a P365, the striker is fully cocked. This means that the sear is holding the striker in its fully tensioned position, ready to be released by the trigger pull.

AI Overview


The S&W Bodyguard 2.0 utilizes a
fully cocked striker system.
This means that when a round is chambered and the pistol is ready to fire, the striker is held in a fully cocked position, with all the energy for firing stored in the system. Pulling the trigger simply releases the striker to strike the primer.

AI Overview


Based on the search results, there doesn't appear to be a standard sticker on the S&W Bodyguard 2.0 that indicates whether it's fully cocked. While there are various Smith & Wesson stickers and decals available from online retailers, these are decorative and not intended to serve as safety or operational indicators for the firearm.

If you're looking for information on how to determine the cocking status of your S&W Bodyguard 2.0, the best source of information would be the owner's manual provided by Smith & Wesson. You can likely find a copy of the manual online or by contacting Smith & Wesson customer support.

It's crucial to always prioritize safe firearm handling practices and to be fully familiar with the operation and safety features of any firearm you possess.

Your question provoked an educational experience for me. Thank YOU.

Sounds like you enjoy poking AI for fun, although it is not something that meets my criterion for entertainment.

The striker is fully cocked and the sear that is holding it in the cock position moves out of the way, forward and down, when you pull the trigger. The part in the red square is what holds the striker back. When you pull the trigger the part in the red oval moves forward and allows the part the arrow is pointing at and the part in the red square to drop down and slightly forward to release the striker.

You can test that by taking the slide off and with the ejector in its normal, UP, position apply pressure to the back of the part in the red square and pull the trigger. The part in the red square will move forward and drop down. Without any pressure on the back of it that part does not move. It is spring loaded to drop down out of the way when the slide goes back in recoil and then pops back up to catch the striker leg.

I try hard to be "gray man"!! It knows just about everything I do, everywhere I go, almost everything I buy ( I pay cash for ammo and firearms), this morning I parked near a fast food business and did not get out of my car and did not buy anything. 1 hour later I got a message on cell asking me what I thought of my visit to the restaurant!
