The Bodyguard 380 is a great little carry gun, but those tiny factory sights leave a lot on the table. The XS Sights DXT2 Big Dot fixes that with a large, high-contrast front sight built around a tritium vial wrapped in a photoluminescent Glow Dot. That combo gives you a bright, easy-to-spot front dot in daylight and a glowing reference in low light, which is exactly what you want on a pocket pistol meant for defense.
Instead of a traditional three-dot layout, XS uses a dot-the-"i" sight picture. You've got a tritium dot up front and a tritium bar in the shallow V rear, so you just stack the front dot over the rear bar and you're on target. The wide V opens up your field of view and keeps your focus driven to that big front sight, which matters when things happen fast and you're moving. The yellow front on this set is the brightest-glowing option XS offers, so it really shines once the sun goes down.
These sights are CNC machined from steel bar stock in Fort Worth, Texas, so they'll take the abuse of daily carry, holstering, and range time without complaint. The convex Glow Dot resists gunpowder residue and wipes clean with a cloth, and the rounded profile has no sharp edges to snag on clothing during the draw. The front sight measures 0.188 inches wide with an overall sight height of 0.275 inches, keeping it compact enough to work in most Bodyguard holsters.
This is a front and rear set made specifically for the S&W Bodyguard 380, and the install is a straightforward hammer-and-punch job for anyone comfortable working on their pistol. XS backs the tritium for 12 years and stands behind the sights with a no-questions-asked warranty, so you're covered for the long haul.
Yes, this set (part number SW-0036P-5Y) is cut specifically for the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 380. It's a complete front and rear replacement designed to drop into the factory dovetails. Just be sure your model matches before ordering, since XS makes different cuts for different pistols.
Both use the same tritium and Glow Dot technology, but they behave a little differently. This set uses the yellow front, which glows the brightest and soaks up the most ambient light for low-light use. The orange option tends to stand out a bit better against varied backgrounds in daylight, so it comes down to how and where you carry.
Most folks can. The DXT2 set installs with a hammer and punch, and XS provides written instructions for the Bodyguard 380. If you're not comfortable driving sights in and out of the dovetails, a gunsmith or a shop with a sight pusher can handle it quickly.
The tritium is warranted to glow for 12 years, though like all tritium it slowly dims over its life. That's plenty of service for a carry gun, and it means you get a dependable low-light reference without needing batteries or a charge from a light source.
