At the Range: Smith & Wesson M&P Bodyguard 380

In the world of concealed carry guns, Smith & Wesson does it all with snub nose revolvers, compacts, subcompacts and single stacks.

For those interested in deep concealment without sacrificing the familiar characteristics of full-sized guns, the M&P Bodyguard 380 is an excellent option. As the smallest semi-auto in Smith & Wesson's M&P lineup, the Bodyguard 380 offers full-size features in a pocket-sized package.

Jessica Nyberg and James Tarr test out the S&W M&P Bodyguard 380 at the range in this segment of Handguns & Defensive Weapons TV on the Sportsman Channel.
