New BODYGUARD 2.0 variants combine the popular micro .380 pistol with a factory-installed Viridian RFX1 green dot for a ready-to-carry concealed carry package.

Smith & Wesson has expanded its popular BODYGUARD 2.0 lineup with three new factory-equipped models featuring the Viridian RFX1 green dot reflex sight. The new optics-ready variants pair one of the company’s smallest concealed carry pistols with an ultra-compact enclosed mounting solution, giving buyers an out-of-the-box carry package that requires no additional optic installation.

Available in Thumb Safety (TS), No Thumb Safety (NTS), and Compliant configurations, the new models retain the compact dimensions and lightweight design that helped make the BODYGUARD 2.0 a notable addition to Smith & Wesson’s concealed carry lineup while adding a factory-installed reflex sight engineered specifically for the platform.

Quick Specs

• Caliber: .380 Auto
• Capacity: 10+1 or 12+1 (model dependent)
• Barrel: 2.75 inches
• Weight: 12 oz.
• Width: 0.88 inch
• Factory-installed Viridian RFX1 green dot
• MSRP: $599
• Available in TS, NTS, and Compliant models

Why This Release Matters

Factory-installed optics continue to gain momentum across today’s handgun market, but they have traditionally been more common on compact and full-size defensive pistols than on ultra-compact .380 Auto platforms.

With these new BODYGUARD 2.0 models, Smith & Wesson brings that capability to one of its smallest carry pistols. Rather than requiring owners to purchase a separate optic and mounting solution, the new variants arrive from the factory with the Viridian RFX1 already installed and properly matched to the pistol.

The result is a streamlined option for concealed carry users who want the advantages of a micro reflex sight without additional setup.

What’s New

The biggest change is the addition of the Viridian RFX1 Green Dot Reflex Sight, which comes factory installed on all three new models.

The BODYGUARD 2.0 itself remains largely unchanged, retaining features introduced with the platform, including:

• 2.75-inch stainless steel barrel with Armornite® finish
• Flat-face striker-fired trigger
• Enhanced ergonomic grip
• 18-degree grip angle for a natural point of aim
• Stainless steel slide with Armornite finish
• Reversible ambidextrous magazine release
• Tritium front sight
• Lightweight 12-ounce unloaded weight

Depending on the model selected, buyers can choose either a thumb safety or a streamlined no-thumb-safety configuration.

Viridian RFX1 Overview

Designed specifically for the BODYGUARD 2.0 platform, the Viridian RFX1 adds a compact aiming solution while maintaining the pistol’s slim profile.

The optic features:

• 3 MOA green dot
• Auto-brightness adjustment
• Viridian INSTANT-ON® activation technology
• Up to 30,000-hour battery life using a CR1632 battery
• Machined 6061 aluminum housing
• Shock-resistant construction
• IPX4 weather resistance
• 16×15 mm objective lens

According to Smith & Wesson, the optic weighs approximately 0.53 ounces and increases the pistol’s overall height by about one inch, helping preserve the BODYGUARD 2.0’s compact carry profile.
