The Techna Clips retention clip (brand part no. BDGBR) is a minimalist, holster-free way to carry a S&W Bodyguard concealed. Instead of a leather or kydex shell, the clip is a single piece of heat-treated high-carbon spring steel that bolts directly to the pistol, replacing an existing factory pin or grip screw. Once installed, the gun itself becomes the holster, riding flat against the body with none of the bulk of a traditional carry rig. It is a right-side clip built specifically for the S&W Bodyguard, and it installs in minutes with no gunsmithing or drilling required.
