XS Sights Bodyguard 2.0

That would be good. Thanks forgetting us know.

I was hopeful about the factory sight. The orange is not real easy for my eyes to pick up. Also, it sure seems small. That Truglow is a better size.
 
It does appear that there isn't much room to zero those new sights, without things hanging off the slide.
With my current combination of a BG1.0 rear/BG2.0 front, I'm pretty happy. I'll check their website for more particular info.
BTW, the OEMs are perfect buggers to move and remove. I've a Real Avid pusher that works well, but those sights made an ugly sound when they actually moved.

When I moved my rear......after breaking down and getting a pusher....it made a loud snap when it released. I thought I may have cracked my slide. It was just that rear sight.
 
I've sold my sights so I can order the Big Dot version when they're released.

It looks a much better sight picture with the new sights. But they also look much larger than OEM, which can cause issues drawing from a pocket. It also appears that the sights are pretty wide for that narrow slide.
Love to know why the BG2.0 shoots relentlessly left. My OEM sights weren't centered, but everyone is compensating for the windage.
 
I replaced the rear sights with ones from a Ruger LCP Max. It did significantly reduce my group sizes by I'm guessing half. It made me feel like I am getting much more out of the gun.
That being said, I have XS sights on the way. I have a pair of these pistols so I will have a side by side comparison of the two set ups, and know which combination suits me most favorably.
Both of mine shot well to the left out of the box and I feel the stock rear sight it much to wide.

I own a couple of these and I talked my buddy into one as well. All 3 most definitely are biased to shoot left. Benched, offhand, it doesn't matter, they shoot left. The sights are so tiny that to my eye it is tough to see that the front and rear are drifted correctly from the factory. One of them it was pretty easy to see the rear sight wasn't centered but the other 2 looked pretty close.

That is the bad news. Here is the good news. I use a MGW Sight Pro or something like that. It is their nice one that uses "shoes" for each brand. I broke down and bought the $14 shoe for the original BG 1.0 and it worked perfectly for the 2.0. All my guns now shoot dead center. Since the dovetails are so small I drifted the rear one way a bit and the front the other way a bit. The first correction attempt I just moved the rear only and it (groups) were centered but the rear sight looked noticeably not centered so I did the aforementioned front and rear and to my naked eye the sights look normally centered. Alas, it's a small gun so you have to be flexible solution wise.

As for the low impacts I would figure out what hold you are using as a first step. On my Sig 365 they quite clearly are the "combat hold" nonsense. Line up the sights, cover the target, and the bullets hit behind the tritium dot. I expected the same from these sights. On both of mine with the standard equal height equal light the bullets are impacting exactly to the tip of the front blade, ie POA = POI. Those are my two using Magtech and S&B.

I confirmed today at the range by bench testing my BG2 sight alignment out of the box.

It definitely shoots left about 4" and low about 2" at 4 yards and 7 yards.

I also confirmed that it will shoot Winchester 95 gr FMJ Flat Nose with zero issues. There are no issues with PMC Bronze 90gr FMJ, Sig Sauer 90 gr JHP, Hornady Critical Defense 90 gr FTX, Hornady Custom 90 gr XTP, Federal Personal Defense 99 gr HST, Winchester PDX1 Defender 95 gr Bonded JHP.

If I buy the XS Sights I prefer to buy a sight pusher and install them myself. Before I buy them, I want to try adjusting the factory front sight to see if I can get the POI corrected.
 
I'm wondering if the low hits are a result of that 'goalpost' rear; it's easy to bring the front sight to the bottom of that wide 'U'.
The windage problem can be solved with lateral adjustment.
The necessary adjustment of the sights does mean that those wide XS bases could be a problem.
