Bodyguard 2.0 range report

I have to give both of mine a good smack to seat a fully loaded mag on a closed slide. Over 200rds later per BG2.0 and no apparent mag abuse problems.

Same here. Was at the range yesterday with the new BG 2.0 and the first load of the mags was difficult. However, each additional time it seemed to get a bit easier and by 200 rounds, both the 10 round and 12 round magazines were loading just fine.
What a pleasant upgrade from the original Bodyguard. It fits so much better in my hand and much easier to keep on target

If it turns out that the BG1 sights fit the BG2.0, Tru-Glo makes a set that is much brighter, both the orange and the tritium front sight and it also has tritium in the rear sight. The rear sight slot is a little narrower too. This same set fits the Ruger LCP Max as I did it to mine.

>>Orange outline isn't very bright<<
All I want is a nice green fiber optic in the front.

I consider it adequate, nighttime glow is sufficient as is the orange dot during daytime. I agree I'd prefer it was as bright as the LCP Max front sight. Since it's primarily a short-range weapon I don't see a need to upgrade for my needs at this time (ymmv).

Got to run 200 rounds through the Bodyguard today, I shot 150 rounds of 90 grain ball and 50 rounds of Winchester 95 grain HP, all fed flawless.
Point of aim was very close at 15 yards.
The magazines were pretty stiff to load but we doable by hand, granted I have somewhat gorilla sized hands! The UpLula loader was quicker to use anyway.
Got back to the house and cleaned the pistol, very straightforward, disassembly was no problem.
In all, seems like a great little pistol, I'm happy with it. The LCP Max has already made its way to the safe...

Ran another 150 rounds of Georgia Arms 95 grain TMJ through the new Bodyguard today, flawless! 350 rounds total so far without a failure of any type...I'll call that good to go!
I picked one up a couple of weeks ago. Zero malfunctions but only 120 rounds fired.
Only problem was it shot left 3" or 4" at 10 yards. Bumped the front sight left and now windage is dead on.
I've back pocket carried a LCP on and off for 10 years and if I can can find a leather rear pocket holster it will likely replace the LCP.

Check out the DeSantis 'Trickster' leather pocket holster, it's how I EDC my BG2.0.

First Range Test
Shot my first 150 rds. of mixed loads today.
75 rds. of Fiocchi 95 gr. RN nose and had a couple rds. that FTF (fully chamber). Also occurred when releasing slide on a fresh mag. Happened with both 10 & 12 rd. mags.
75 rds. of Freedom Munition 100 gr. RNFP functioned 100% even with 10+1 loading. This is a hotter load and will be my carry ammo.
Both loads shot 1.5-2" left at 10 yds. Drifted "slightly uncentered" front sight a bit and will retest.
All-in-all very pleased with the Bodyguard 2.0's performance as its still tight and needs further break in.
Not a fan of the dim front sight setup at the indoor range. I did my usual mod with gloss white nail polish and now the big white dot really stands out.
