The Smith & Wesson M&P Bodyguard delivers reliable personal protection with integrated laser sighting in a compact J-frame platform. This Massachusetts-compliant revolver combines traditional reliability with modern enhancements for concealed carry applications.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard snub-nose revolvers, the M&P Bodyguard features a factory-installed Crimson Trace red laser integrated into the frame design. The PVD coating on the barrel and cylinder provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional bluing, while the aluminum frame reduces weight without sacrificing durability. The polymer grip insert offers improved ergonomics over conventional wood or rubber grips.
Key Features
- Crimson Trace red laser integrated into frame for rapid target acquisition
- Black PVD coated 1.88-inch barrel and cylinder for enhanced corrosion resistance

The 1.88-inch barrel length balances concealability with ballistic performance, making this revolver suitable for personal protection and backup duty applications. The integrated laser system activates with grip pressure, providing instinctive aiming capability in low-light conditions. The aluminum frame construction keeps overall weight manageable for all-day carry while maintaining the structural integrity required for +P ammunition.
