The Smith & Wesson M&P Bodyguard 38 (Model 12058) is a lightweight, easy-to-conceal revolver chambered in .38 Special +P, built specifically to meet Massachusetts compliance standards. With a 1.88″ PVD-coated steel barrel and cylinder, matte black aluminum J-frame, and integrated Crimson Trace® red laser, this revolver offers a balance of control, concealability, and confidence.
Featuring double-action-only (DAO) operation, a snag-free design, and a gray polymer grip, the Bodyguard 38 is a reliable choice for personal defense and backup carry, especially in jurisdictions with stricter handgun requirements.
