What are you guys using, both night sights and/or “regular”, for your Bodyguard. I hate the overly wide width of the factory rear sight, I’ve noticed there are now some options available now.

I use stock.  Good enough for me.

I replaced my rear sight with a OEM Bodyguard 1.0.
It was $20 shipped on ebay.

The stock rear has grown on me. I can find the front easier and I dont plan on doing any 25yrd+ shooting.

I put XS tritium on mine and love them.  I can acquire in low light much faster.

I waited for Night Fision to bring their brighter tritium front sight to market and installed it right after it hit.  It looks great, works fine and was reasonably priced.  No, it's not any wider (to my eye) than the original front sight.  Certainly easier to acquire in low light than OEM.  The factory rear sight is fine.  This pistol is not a precision, bullseye bench gun despite so many that want it to be.  Again, the factory rear sight is fine.

Where did you send it to have the milling performed?

don't forget to clean the firing pin and inside the slide while you have the rear sight off

How hard was the rear sight to remove? I have heard horror stories about how difficult it is to remove.

Same.  Much better.  I didn't have any trouble removing the stock sights and drifting the XS sights in with a brass punch
