Captain Ski Bum's Review of Viridian Weapon Technologies S&W Bodyguard 2.0 RFX-1 Custom 1x16mm Reflex Red Dot Sight
The Viridian RFX-1 Optic for S&W Bodyguard 2.0 is fantastic. I mounted on a Comp - Carry version of the Bodyguard 2.0. The existing sight is vert difficult to remove from the bodyguard without a sight pusher, so purchase a sight pusher or take to a gunsmith to remove or you will wish you had. Once the old sight is removed installation is very simple and quick. Make sure you have a torque wrench so you do not over-torque the two mounting screws. I added blue loctite as well. Installation takes only a couple of minutes. Zeroing the new sight was easy, it was dead on L/R, but required a bit of tweaking for vertical. The sight is no frills/no adjustment once zeroed.....there are no user controls. However, I am happy with the auto brightness setting of the 3 MOA green dot....works for me in low light and sunlight. I like the "shake to awake" ability of the optic to save battery life....it turns back on as soon as I touch the pistol. The sight serrations match the standard bodyguard 2.0 pistol, but do not align with the Comp - Carry version....not a big deal, just be aware. The sight is compact but works great. Now for the good part....I shoot a LOT more accurately with the optic.....my groups at 20 feet are less than an inch and a half, a significant improvement from the iron sights. I carry IWB, and the optic does not add any noticeable bulk or printing. Bottom line is that I am happy with the purchase and would buy it again, I feel the increased accuracy is worth the price of the optic.
Pros:
- compact
- improved accuracy
- Shake awake
- Auto bright/dim
Cons:

- must remove optic to replace battery
Best Used for:
