Absolutely love my BG 2.0, but like all of them, the pistol shoots to the left 2-3" at 7 yards, and (as expected), even more so at 10 yards. The front and rear sights on mine are clearly off center, and despite my best efforts using a vise mounted sight pusher, I cannot get either sight to budge. I cranked so hard on the adjustment handle of the sight pusher, I thought I might break the slide if I continued. Aren't these sights simply press fit into the slide? Anyway, RMA has been requested, so I will let Smith fix it.

Yes those sights are a bear to move . I used a sight pusher to move my rear almost all the way right. It took everything the pusher would do along with some not so gentle taps on the pusher with a nylon hammer.

Good news once moved it shoots some nicely centered groups. Hopefully they get you fixed up.

Mine was shooting 3-4 inches off at 25 feet.
I started off with small hammer and a wood dowel.
I tried a bigger hammer each time with no results.
I ending up moving it with a mini sledge hammer waking the piss out of it.
 
I started with plastic rods, move to wooden dowels, ended up moving sights with brass punches, lol!
 
Not a Bodyguard, but my Equalizer was consistently shooting to the left. It wasn't obvious from casual observation, but careful measurement showed the front sight was offset 0.02" to the right of center. Given the Equalizer's sight radius, the front sight's offset was consistent with the point of impact error I measured at various distances during recent range trips.

I'm not a masochist, so I took my Equalizer to the LGS. The gunsmith put the slide in a drill press and moved the sight 0.02" to the center .. and didn't even charge me.
