Bodyguard 380 not accurate

I take it that you're absolutely, positively 100% sure that you're trigger press is straight rearward every time and not twisting the gun (ever so slightly) to the right @ trigger break?
Does your laser jump during trigger press (during dry fire, or life fire), or does it stay on target? Using a laser to get on target won't fix what happens during trigger press. (especially with the BG's DAO trigger).
But since you're a revolver guy, you're probably used to its DAO trigger.

After pondering my initial response... What may be affecting trigger press could be the size difference of the BG. Fitting your hand differently than your wheel guns could mean going back to square one, pretending like you're brand new to shooting and reviewing all the basics from scratch.
It's something I do with any new 'platform'.

Move the rear sight to the left or the front sight to the right

Buy a bigger gun? Seriously... the BG380 is not designed or intended to be a range shooter or target pistol. It is a up in your face get off me defensive pocket pistol.

Stop blaming the gun. That's my suggestion.
Have somebody else shoot it . . .
Not until we determine that is the problem . . .
I will let someone else shoot the pistol before doing anything. Basically it is my pocket gun that I would be using for self defense and god forbid if I had to use it; more than likely it would be close up. Now to move the rear sight to left; something a gunsmith would do? Thanks guys.

Are you left handed?

This often indicates too much finger on the trigger.

I have an M&P 380 I just bought last week and with my laser turned on that was the exact travel of my shot you described. If I adjust my left hand in grip I can control the point of impact now on the POI I want.
The $50 gizmo as some people call it, dramatically helped my shot placement because I could SEE what was happening. Will I ever need it in a shooting situation ... I don't know, but you know the saying about a condom.

My no-laser Bodyguard shoots a little bit low-right.
The target is the product of testing multiple types of ammo.
The little shred of orange on the target at about 10 o'clock relative to the gaping hole is what was left of a 1.5" orange dot that I used for an aiming point.
I'm not disappointed.
Firing distance was about 10 feet.

W.E.G. I'd say you've got a "grip" on the situation! 
Very nice shooting with something the size of the BG380. Keep on doing what you're doing!
