By The Numbers

Accuracy
It’s not going to win any long-distance marksmanship competitions, but it’s more than adequate for self-defense distances.
Reliability
Reliability was good with higher quality ammo and some testing to find out what works for the gun.
Customization
There are a surprising amount of customizations out there for this gun, but by far the best options are in S&W’s custom shop.
Ergonomics
All pocket pistols suffer from being a bit hard to get a grip on, but this one is better than most.

FINAL VERDICT

"Carrying the S&W Bodyguard 380 is convenient, you almost forget you have it on you since it’s so light. Obviously, ergonomics, size, and weight can make or break a CCW, and the Bodyguard is an all-around solid pick. It might not be a standout, but it’s inexpensive and has great features." - Trevor Dobrygoski
