Description
The AmeriGlo Protector SWBG-705 is a drop-in night sight upgrade made specifically for the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0. If you carry that little .380 for everyday protection, the factory sights leave something to be desired, and this set fixes that in a hurry. The front sight runs a green tritium lamp wrapped in a bright LumiGreen outline, so it stands out in daylight and keeps glowing when the sun goes down. The rear is a flat black, serrated unit designed to cut glare and let your eye snap straight to that front dot.
What Makes the Protector Setup Work
This is a front-focused design, and that matters more than it sounds. In a defensive situation your eye naturally goes to the front sight, and the Protector leans into that by giving you one high-visibility reference up front and a clean, distraction-free rear notch. The serrated face on the rear sight knocks down reflections in bright light, and the blacked-out profile means there's nothing back there competing for your attention. It's a layout a lot of carry-minded folks prefer over a traditional three-dot setup.
Day and Night Performance on the Bodyguard 2.0
Tritium does the heavy lifting in low light, giving you a glowing green aiming point without needing batteries or any charge-up time. During the day, the LumiGreen outline gives the front sight a bright, easy-to-find border that pops against most backgrounds. AmeriGlo has been building self-defense sights for over two decades, and the Protector line is one of their most popular concealed carry options for good reason.
Fitment and Install Notes
The SWBG-705 is cut to fit the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 and nothing else, so you're getting sights matched to that slide. The set ships complete with both front and rear sights ready to install. AmeriGlo recommends having them installed by a qualified gunsmith with the proper sight pusher or punch to avoid marring the slide and to get everything dialed in correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pistol does the AmeriGlo Protector SWBG-705 fit?
This set is made specifically for the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0. The sights are cut to match that slide, so they are not a universal fit for other pistols. If you run a Bodyguard 2.0 for carry, this is the Protector model matched to it.
Are the AmeriGlo Protector night sights a three-dot setup?
No, the Protector is a front-focused design rather than a traditional three-dot. You get one green tritium front dot with a LumiGreen outline and a blacked-out serrated rear with no dots. The idea is to keep your eye locked on the front sight where it counts most.
Do the tritium sights need batteries or charging?
No batteries or charging required. The front sight uses a tritium lamp that glows on its own in low light, so your aiming point is always ready when you need it. The LumiGreen outline also helps the front sight stand out in daylight.
Can I install these Protector sights myself?
The set ships complete with both front and rear sights ready to go. AmeriGlo recommends professional installation using a proper sight pusher or punch to avoid damaging the slide and to get the rear sight properly aligned. A qualified gunsmith can usually handle the job quickly.
