Bodyguard 38 XS Dot sight install

[marcusng]

Hello all,

New to the forum here. I recently bought a Bodyguard 38 for my wife for her carry needs but both of us are having some slight problem with sight acquisition on the factory black sight.

I have read up online and have purchased a XS Big Dot tritium sights.

Has anyone have experience installing the sights? I have always been a semi auto kind of guy so my experience is limited to working with dovetail sights. From what I have read, the BG38 uses a pin.

Any insight would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
Marcus

So I am guessing no one here has the BG38 or have changed out the factory sight to aftermarket sight on it?

You may want to post on the gunsmith section.

Getting the old one out is easy, just punch out the pin. But you'll have to drill a hole for the new one. Unless you have the proper tools you may want to have a smith install it for you.

I installed my Big Dot Site a few days ago. It was very easy. The hardest part was locating the pin after I beat out and it rolled away. Reassembly was super easy!
