M&P Bodyguard sights
I recently purchased a Bodyguard for daily carry. Like the gun but my eyes did not like the sights. The black on black especially in lower light was tough. I did some looking and got a set of Williams Fire Sights. Just installed them, and WOW what a difference. These are super easy to get a quick fix on taeget and even in lower light, seem to work great. I won't be able to get to the range this weekend but can't wait to see how they do.
Install time was about 30 minutes because I wanted to do a good job and this was my first ever sight change. All went well and they look factory. I am a very happy camper.

Great info...thanks for posting. Akron here as well, and just bought a BG 380 Monday at Pro Armament. PM me if you ever want to head to a range.

Mine has a laser as well but I wanted better day sights and low light sights. The cost was only about $46 shipped to the house. This is a huge improvement and really makes the gun much more usable for me.
I will post a pic or two soon.

Small world, I got mine at Pro Armament as well. Going to Kames and Pro today to look around. My brother is shopping for a cc gun. Range time sounds good. Where do you usually go?

Small world, indeed! This is my second pistol from Pro Armament. I used to go their range, but the recently closed it to the public. Now, it's a members-only range, which I think is a good idea.
I went to the Marksman in Norton on Monday. Plan on heading to Hickory Ridge in Medina later today. PM me and we can do some shooting.

XS Big Dots
While the BG380 standard sights are better than most pocket-size pistols, I had the same issue as the OP. Those Williams sights are very nice. Another option, if you prefer a tritium front sight, is the XS Big Dots. I was able to install them myself (something I wouldn't attempt on most larger S&Ws) and am very pleased with these.

I almost went with those. Watched several videos and read several articals about them. Every thing I saw and read was positive. The only reason I didn't was my Springfield pistols have fiber optic sights and I like them and am used to using them. So to me it makes sense to keep all the sights the same so all my pistols have similar target acquisition.
