BG 2.0: Range report before and after sight adjustment

[ImDrRich]

Today I shot 100 rounds out of my new Bodyguard 2.0 at 5 yards. There was a consistent shooting to the left on my part, and when I examined the rear sight I noticed it was clearly off center.

I then took the gun to an actual gunsmith who, with tools and a sighting tool, centered the rear sight without complication (charge was $20!)

The following targets are before the rear sight adjustment:

Next, these two images are reflective of shooting the new gun after the sights have been adjusted (both front and rear):

Finally, the last target below was on the mark and "in the black." Different bullseye might have made a difference, too. I'm not sure.

Hope this was of interest.

Best to all -

Rich

What was the 'sighting tool'?

I installed Tru-Glo sights on mine. Narrower rear sight with tritium inserts, larger, brighter orange front sight and brighter tritium insert.

Exacty what I'm looking for, but in green. Which model did you buy them for, because they don't yet list the BG 2.0? Thank you.

I asked the smith which tool he was going to use and he said a sighting tool. I didn't get the idea I was supposed to ask further questions, lol.

I tried sending you a PM reply twice but it wouldn't go through, so I'll answer you here. The sights are Tru-Glo and the rear is the exact same as the original Bodyguard, with a little fitting like most aftermarket sights.
The front is for an EZ9 that I bought for my wife but tried it on my BG2.0 instead. It works but doesn't drive in, just pushes in by hanc with a couple of thousandths play. I tried Orange Permatex Gel threadlocker to hold it and it works perfectly. after several hundred rounds no movement at all and shoots right to POA. The smaller rear sight gap makes it easier to hit targets out farther. It's much brighter too.

PM received and replied to. Thanks again!

Before and after drifting BG2 sights.
Drifted both front and rear a tad to keep them as centered as possible.

BG 2.0

I just picked up and shot my BG 2.0 today. Same thing. Shot way left @ 7yds. The rear looks centered and I didn’t look closely at the front sight. I brought my Sig P238 with because I wanted to compare them both as pocket guns. The BG 2.0 wasn’t even in the same ball park as my Sig. I’ll drift the sight(s) and get some more rounds fired through it and reassess.

I guess they are like magicians and don’t reveal the tricks of their trades.

I really like that setup, but I am going to wait until they are offered specifically for this gun. The BG 2.0 appears to be a very popular item, so I expect that we will be seeing some on the market in the near future.

My shield 45 did the same repeatable left of center impacts, until I had a smith move the RS right 1 millimeter. I am rt handed and all my HG's shoot a little left.
