Bodyguard 380 2.0 Shoots POI left

"They are used for fairly realistic sniper training on a moving target that has irregular, unpredictable motion. We have had many laughs over how successful his business has been."

Why hasn't one of these hotshot expert training guys gotten one of those "scooters"???
If one of our outdoor ranges had one, I'd pay to try it. :)
They cost a LOT of money, including the fees for customized programming. I suspect that only national militaries can afford them. And the unit cost would be much higher if you only bought one. That's why we have such a good laugh about it.
 
I have BG2.0 and everyone that shoots mine does go out and purchases their own (7 other so far). I drifted my sights (any my buddy's sights) until POA = POI. That is front sight to the left and rear sight to the right so that neither sight adjustment would be too extreme. Even with oil, the sights were a bear to move - especially the front sight.
I especially applaud S&W for having the best safety switch of all of my pistols on both BG380 variants. I can elect to use the safety switch or to ignore it and the design is such that it won't get in the way yet is easily usable. This BG2.0 is still absolutely the best pocket carry that exists at this time for my money. That said, I will send mine in if they start a massive effort to replace parts.
Caveat: I have learned that nothing on this earth is perfect and I am in no hurry to meet my Maker just to find perfection in the afterlife.
 
My pistol also consistently shoots to left. The groups are small and consistent and I have not experienced this with any other pistol. It does this all the brands of ammo that I have available and has for every one I have asked to test fire it. The POI seems consistent with the experience of others. I am in the process of drifting the sights and it is improving but will take more adjustments and verification. I moved the front sight but not find it to be misaligned to begin with. So the question is, What is causing this issue?
Might seem stupid, but if you shoot tight groups you are fairly consistent. If you move the sights as far as you have and still shoot tight groups to the left with the same sight picture, then the problem is likely you. I would suggest, if you are a righty, try moving the trigger finger to the left, ie, put more finger on the trigger. I had the same problem when using the pad of my finger, moved the finger so the trigger is in the first joint, and solved the problem. It does take a little practice to train your finger to go in the right place, but it does work. On one gun (I have small/medium hands) I had to change the grips to accomplish the natural grip but it did work.
