Bodyguard 2.0 Aftermarket Sights Available Sorta

I agree with what you are saying. My preference is 1Dot on the front and don't really care about the rear even being there.

The factory front is not really a favorite since it disappears in so many situations. If they had a nice white, yellow or green, maybe even a gold bead that would be great.
I have not bought a set of sights yet, I'm waiting is hopes of the shallow v with a nice dot up front that XS makes for so many other models. Mean while, planning to do something like New2S&W77 did to just my front sight.

I know there are limitations to such a set up,
I know that my BG 2.0 won't be a very good long range gun. I know about the guy in the mall that made a 40 yard shot and my 1 dot won't be great at that. I know that at 25 yards my BG 2.0 won't shoot 1 inch groups. I confess to be a party influenced by Jeff Cooper.

My experience with my BG2 is different from New2S&W77.

Firstly.. the rear sight is nearly impossible to see in low light.

So if I can’t see the rear sight my POA is likely to be nowhere close to my POI. The rear sight design may have been some kind of imaginary hypothetical scenario, but it definitely doesn’t work in my reality.

The front sight with a small dim orange dot is nearly worthless. The tritium glow in total darkness is nearly invisible to pick up. I’d rather see a big florescent white dot.

With both sights way off from the alignment of barrel, shooting way left and low from POA, S&W dropped the ball on the sight design.

That’s just my worthless opinion.

Your worthless opinion is worth more than my even more worthless opinion.
In all the time I have been interested in firearms which pre-dates the internet by a couple decades, I have yet to find/discover/have revealed to me the one final be all in any firearm category. Same for holsters and ammo.

I have ended up buying things that magazine experts and website experts said was no good. Sometimes it worked just fine for a given context. I agree that a big florescent white dot would be my druthers also, over the factory sight.
