After 3 trips to the factory for repair my BG 2.0 now shoots straight but 10" low at 10 yards.
Piece of junk. Mounted a red dot but it can't correct enough.
Need a suppressor height rear sight to get the hits up.
Anyone know if any of the SW suppressor height rear sights are compatible with
the BG 2.0?
Please let me know.
Thanks.

10" low at 10 yards?!?!?!?!? something radically wrong with the basic configuration, bad machining on the slide maybe. Is there a barrel bushing on the slide?. I'd send it back to them till they get it right!

I agree with Robin above. Something seems very wrong here. Shooting straight would seem to me like it was shooting left or right previously but ok height wise. Now you’re saying it is shooting 10” low and a red dot can’t adjust for this.
Im not sure I would change anything and let them handle it. Also, there is no way to know if suppressor height sights will correct this issue because they are made to be replaced in pairs and shoot as the normal sights would. I get your idea and thinking but there is no way to know if that will actually pan out besides a pig in a poke guess. I would call them and speak with them to see what was done and why this might be occurring. Good luck.

First thought was "Oh no, not another @Podmonkey S&W Horror Story....took him sending his premium Revolver back several times before they decided it was manufacturing error and not operator headspace & timing.

May have to retrain yourself to cover the target. I carry my gen 1 Bodyguard a bit. But I don't expect much out of over the 3 yard shot. Hopefully just enough cover shot for me to leave the threat.

Thank you all for your input and happy to say the problem has been solved.
How?
1. I purchased and installed a set of Hogue grips which made my grip closer to
those guns I was familiar with.
2. I purchased and installed a shake awake sight.
3. I tightened my grip on my left hand and relaxed that of my right trigger hand.
Result: from 17 yards (braced) nearly all rounds in an 8" circle.
Great? No. Acceptable? I think so.
Thanks again.
