If you’re anything like myself, Paul, or dozens of other shooters online, you’ve probably found that the sights on your Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 2.0 are less than optimal. From the uber wide rear notch, to their difficulty zeroing, and more, they leave a lot to be desired. Luckily we’re not stuck using the factory irons. Yesterday Gideon Optics released their latest product, the Pebble red dot, made specifically for the S&W Bodyguard 2.0.
The Pebble is a micro red dot that fits directly into the rear dovetail of the BG2.0, replacing the factory rear sight. While Gideon isn’t the first to do this, their optics tend to enjoy a greater reputation for reliability than some others in this niche. MSRP on the Gideon Pebble sits at $299.99 as of this writing. Currently there is a $40 off sale, bringing the price down to $259.99! You can read the details from Gideon below, you get yours >>HERE<<
Built for Deep-Carry Pistols, Ready to Work
Pebble E is an enclosed emitter 3 MOA micro red dot designed specifically for one of the smallest deep‑carry pistols on the market: the Smith & Wesson M&P Bodyguard 2.0. Model‑specific dovetail inserts replace the factory rear sight and let Pebble E mount directly to the slide; no milling, no universal plates, so you keep a slim, snag‑free profile that still supports a true slide‑mounted dot.
Inside the sealed housing you get a crisp 3 MOA dot in your choice of red or green, with 10 manual brightness levels (8 for daylight, 2 for use with night vision) and a motion‑activated shake‑awake function that powers the optic down after about 225 seconds and brings it back the moment the gun moves. A side‑loading CR1632 battery tray allows easy battery changes without removing the optic or disturbing your zero, while a brightness lockout mode helps prevent accidental button presses during pocket or holster carry. Parallax‑free at 33 yards, shockproof, waterproof, and backed by Gideon’s lifetime warranty, Pebble E is built to live on a real carry gun, not just a range toy.
- Purpose-built for the M&P Bodyguard 2.0 using model-specific rear-sight dovetail mounts, no adapter plates or slide cuts required.
- Sealed housing protects the emitter and lens from sweat, rain, dust, and pocket lint, keeping the dot usable in the kinds of environments deep‑carry pistols actually see.
- Clean 3 MOA reticle for precise aiming at distance and fast pickup at typical CCW ranges, available with red or green emitters to match your preference.
- Eight daylight settings plus two extra‑low levels tuned for night‑vision use give you usable brightness from dark hallways to bright parking lots.
- Auto‑sleep after roughly 225 seconds of inactivity, instant wake on movement, and a long‑press manual power‑off when you want the optic completely dormant.
- Press and hold the “+” button to lock brightness and reduce accidental changes or power‑offs in pockets and holsters; hold again to unlock.
- Side tray allows battery swaps without removing or re‑zeroing the optic; uses a single CR1632 3V lithium cell.
- Elevation and windage dials offer 35 MOA of adjustment in each direction (70 MOA total), with smooth, click‑less travel and markings calibrated to point of impact.
- Optimized so parallax is minimized at 33 yards, with negligible effect at typical defensive distances.
- Approx. 48.1 mm (L) x 22.2 mm (W) x 27.3 mm (H), 7.5 mm deck height, and about 1.16 oz including battery, keeping micro pistols slim and carryable.
- Built to handle recoil, sweat, and weather, and covered by Gideon’s limited lifetime warranty against defects and accidental breakage under normal use.
