About This Part

The laser button cover is an essential component of the M&P Bodyguard 380's integrated Crimson Trace laser sight system. This precision-molded cover is placed inside the laser button cap on its nib to provide a more rigid and reliable surface to activate the foil switch that controls the laser. When the shooter applies pressure to the laser activation button on the frame, the button cover transfers that pressure to the internal foil switch, turning the laser on or off.

The button cover must be precisely manufactured to ensure consistent laser activation without requiring excessive pressure, while also preventing accidental activation. This small but critical component ensures the laser sight functions reliably when you need it most for target acquisition in low-light defensive situations.

A worn, damaged, or missing laser button cover can cause unreliable laser activation, difficulty turning the laser on or off, or complete laser failure. Replacing it with a genuine Smith & Wesson factory part ensures proper laser function and reliable operation of this important aiming aid.

Installation Notes
