It may not have been like that when you checked it out.
Were there any loose accessories in the box/case?

No, it was was in a protective bag by itself.
That doesn't look like a "defect".... that's been abused.
I'd be right back to my LGS and say, let's try this again.

The state I live in requires purchase permits, so there’s no easy way to do an exchange or anything like that. I’m hoping S&W will at least refinish it?

How did you not notice that? Along with the front sight pushed to the right instead of centered.

This is getting ridiculous.
What is the date on your box please?

This is a long shot, but maybe the front sight was adjusted at the factory after being test fired. My otherwise wonderful Shield 45 had to have its front sight adjusted to same position in order for it to be properly zeroed. You could try shooting it first. As to the blemish, that's unacceptable, and S&W should replace the slide.

This is one of several I have personally seen (NIB) on gun store shelves with the sight drifted to the right. If they have to all be drifted the same way to that degree, there is something inherently wrong with the basic design.
Why am I not surprised. S&W must have rushed out the design and manufacture of this little gun to compete with the Ruger LCP lineup. All the gushing YouTube reviews (which definitely swayed me into buying one) must have been paid shills. By the way I don't care if yours is fine (not you OP)...many are not. QC is just awful.

Jeez I had to drift my front all the way to the left to make it shoot straight- Is there any rhyme or reason to their setup?

The gun without defects shoots very well for a pocket sized 380. I don’t think all of the YouTube guys are lying. But yes quality control seems pretty ****, been seeing new defect posts every other day
Mine still shoots a little left even after I drifted the front site. I'm likely going to replace sites once a good one is available.
Their QC is less than impressive currently, but the Bodyguard 2.0 is the best shooting and handling pocket pistol I've ever handled.

S&W completely fixed the issues. Awesome customer service.
Wow.. that's really nice to read.
By some miraculous changes inside the buildings of wherever they are now someone with a customer service, customer experience, marketing, profit/loss and reputation understanding has emerged out of the depths of incompetence and apathy.
