M&P Bodyguard 380 - Sights

[jmc0319]

I recently bought an M&P BG 380 and was having a hard time aligning sights when at he range. At the suggestion of someone I added a little white paint to the front sight using a tooth pick. This helped tremendously so I thought I would share it for any other beginners out there with a similar challenge.

Good tip--there's nothing wrong with adding some paint to increase the contrast on the stock sights, especially for those of us whose eyes aren't what they used to be. The BG380 is a close-quarters SD pistol so you just need to get close to center of mass. I changed my BG380 to XS Big Dot night sights years ago and it was an improvement for me, but do what works for you.

Thanks for your thread jmc0319!

Painting sights is a viable option to make them more visible. I've painted the front sights on my 642 and Beretta 92FS fluorescent orange (using white paint as a base coat) and the rear sights black to make them consistent with my PX4 Compact, which has an orange/tritium front sight and a plain black rear sight.

Well, that looks a lot better than my attempts at painting sights!

I painted the sights on my EZ9 and find they are much easier to get good front sight focus.
