Family of small, J-frame revolvers From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Smith & Wesson Bodyguard is a family of small J-frame revolvers with shrouded hammers manufactured by Smith & Wesson. They are available chambered in either .38 Special or .357 Magnum.[1]
The Model 38 is aluminum-framed, has a carbon steel barrel, a carbon steel cylinder with a five-round capacity, and is chambered in .38 Special.[2]
The Model 49 is an all-carbon-steel-framed revolver chambered in .38 Special.[2]
The Model 638 is aluminum-framed with stainless steel cylinder and barrel. Chambered in .38 Special.[2]
The Model 649 is an all stainless-steel framed revolver. Chambered in .357 Magnum or .38 Special.[2]
The M&P Bodyguard 38, introduced in 2014,[3] is the latest incarnation of a Smith & Wesson revolver using the Bodyguard name. It is a polymer framed revolver chambered in .38 Special, and available with a Crimson Trace (previously Insight) red-dot laser sight integrated in to the grip.[4] Like previous Bodyguard models, it has a five-round cylinder and a concealed hammer but unlike the previous models, the hammer cannot be cocked for single action fire.[5][6] The lockwork is different than any other Smith & Wesson revolver and the model has no parts interchangeable with the J-frame series.[7] In 2018, S&W announced a new version of the Bodyguard which lacks the integrated laser sight. It is most closely related to the Centennial models.[7]
