I'd like to get your impressions. Thanks.
Has anyone bought the comped BG 2.0?

What I like about the BG2 is its very small size. Anything that makes it larger is probably not going to appeal to me. Compensators don't impress me in general and that is especially true on a .380 with such minimal recoil to start with. The BG2 is an exceptional pistol that offers a full size grip on a tiny gun. There is lots of innovation, such as the dual feed ramp and high undercut on the trigger guard that come together to make such a small pistol excel at the job it was made for. Anything that takes away from that focused mission is a mistake.

So, what you're saying is, you haven't bought one? 
My bad. Sorry.

No worries, my friend.

Wanted to handle one, and tried a couple shops. No one had one yet. Do have the same reservations as tarheel, but I was anxious to see the new sights.

Sorry I can't help you with your problem, but I bought one a few months ago. I have not had a chance to take it to the range. At 81 yrs of age, I'm having a problem raking the slide. Even thought about selling it.
But recently they came out with a model of the BG2.0 with a ported barrel. I'm thinking that might help if I can buy the ported barrel separately instead of buying another BG2.0 that I don't need. Are the barrels interchangeable?
On another note, I also have a S&W EZ-Slide .380 Shield which I enjoy. Are there any plans to ultimately add a EZ-Slide BG2.0?

Talon grips for the rear slide serrations of the BG2 make a big difference in racking the slide. https://talongungrips.com/smith-wesson/slide-grip-s-w-bodyguard-2-0/
It's amazing. You can also use a Handi-racker product which is designed to let you rack with just your strong hand, using your support hand just to steady the pistol.
