Smith & Wesson Ships Bodyguard 2.0 With Factory Green-Dot Sight for $599

Factory-equipped Bodyguard 2.0 arrives at $599

Smith & Wesson is shipping the .380 Auto Bodyguard 2.0 with a factory-installed Viridian RFX1 green-dot reflex sight. The optic is dovetail-mounted and zeroed, eliminating the need for separate installation or adapter plates.

The package has a $599 MSRP and is offered in three configurations: a model with a thumb safety, a no-thumb-safety version, and a compliant model limited to 10-round magazines. Availability remains subject to federal, state, and local laws.

For comparison, the standard Bodyguard 2.0 NTS has a $449 MSRP, while the separately sold RFX1 for the pistol is priced at $229.

Carry dimensions and configurations

The striker-fired Bodyguard 2.0 measures 5.5 inches long, 0.88 inch wide, and 4.8 inches high, with a listed weight of 12 ounces. Its stainless steel barrel is 2.75 inches long with a 1:10-inch twist and an Armornite finish. The stainless steel slide also uses an Armornite finish, while the frame and grip are polymer.

Standard-capacity versions support 10- and 12-round magazines and ship with one of each. The compliant configuration is restricted to 10 rounds. The no-thumb-safety model is identified as SKU 14786 and lists Colorado, Delaware, Illinois, and Vermont under state compliance.

Other controls include a flat-face trigger, an 18-degree grip angle, and a reversible ambidextrous magazine release. The pistol does not have a threaded barrel or integrated laser.

Viridian RFX1 optic

The RFX1 uses a 3 MOA green dot and a 16-by-15 mm objective lens. It provides unlimited eye relief, automatic brightness adjustment, and Viridian’s INSTANT-ON activation system. Power comes from a CR1632 battery, with a listed battery life of up to 30,000 hours.

The optic measures 1.63 inches long, 0.81 inch wide, and 1.02 inches high. Its housing is machined from 6061 aluminum, and it carries an IPX4 water-resistance rating. The design is also described as shockproof.

Viridian developed this version of the RFX1 around the Bodyguard 2.0’s slide geometry. It incorporates slide serrations and a tapered dovetail intended to limit lateral movement while keeping the optic aligned with the pistol’s narrow profile.

Sights, handling and intended use

The factory-mounted optic provides an alternative to relying solely on the micro pistol’s iron sights, particularly for shooters seeking a clearer aiming reference. Its automatic brightness system adjusts dot visibility for changing ambient light without manual controls.

The package retains the Bodyguard 2.0’s compact dimensions and 12-ounce listed weight while adding the green-dot system at the factory. Smith & Wesson positions the three versions to address differing preferences on manual safeties and magazine-capacity restrictions.

Included equipment and service

Each standard-capacity pistol ships with one 10-round magazine, one 12-round magazine, and tools for the optic. The compliant model’s magazine package is not detailed beyond its 10-round capacity restriction.

The Bodyguard 2.0 series is covered by Smith & Wesson’s lifetime service policy.
