I have a BG2.0 with a manual safety and I ran across a post in the S&W forum on how the manual safety can be defeated by pressing down on it a little.
I tried to do this on mine, and I was shocked to see that I was able to pull the trigger by putting a little downward pressure on the manual safety.
It's not as if the safety will do this on its own, as soon as I release the safety it springs back up into the lock position.
Also, it doesn't matter unless the trigger is pulled.
I was just wondering if anyone else has this issue and if it's worth a trip back to Smith.

Hmm, never tried to test that. I don't use the safety anyway; I always leave it off.
The value of Freedom is not realized until it is lost

Contact S&W customer service. A friend of mine had a mag issue in his BG 2.0 and they were quick to respond.
