Replacement front and back sights for M&P 22

[pmarcoux]

I'm looking to replace the factory sights on my M&P .22, with something more hi-viz (e.g. fiber optic).
Everything I've come across is in the $100+ range. Anyone know of any suitable replacements in the $30-50 range?
Also, are M&P 9mm sights compatible with and M&P .22?
Any advice is much appreciated.

Following with great interest.
I have the m&p 22 and 9mm and am very curious.

Halifax1977, since you have both, you might be able to answer the second part of my question... Are dovetails grooves the same for 22 and 9mm?

I've read they can be depending on the model. I haven't changed pistols sights before so I'm a little nervous lol

I buy my sights here. I usually get the correct height front sight and usually choose a narrower one. Fibre optic.

Says they don't ship to Canada. Do you go through their Canadian distributor ?

The stock M&P 22 stock sights are absolute garbage. Biggest complaint out there is that the elevation does not adjust enough to compensate and many have a POI far higher than their POA. I was going to go with aftermarket fixed Dawson ones but was nervous that they may still shoot high as others in the US have mentioned on some boards. Love fixed sights but getting the right height the first time around has been a crap shoot for me. Went with the Williams Firesights ordered from Brownells. Quite happy with them so far.

What are the width of your front site and the width of the rear sight cutout?

What are the width of your front site and the width of the rear sight cutout?

The front post measures out at 0.115" and the rear cutout measures 0.113". Appears fibers are 0.06".

Have them sent to a friend in USA.

Check LPA. If I remember right think they have an adjustable sight set.

Many thanks I've just ordered them.

Those look pretty sweet. Thanks.

I've replaced the front sight on the M&P22 and -9 with HI-VIZ ones from Al Flaherty's. You can also get them on Amazon.ca but they're a lot more expensive.

Many thanks I've just ordered them.

How much did it come out to after shipping?

 

[Halifax1977]

99 Canadian.

99 Canadian.

That is a very reasonable price in my opinion. Especially shipped to Canada. Nice! I'm gonna get some for my M&P9 and when I finally get the .22 version I will get me some more.

 

[Halifax1977]

That's my plan. It's also all my m&p 22 needs to be complete.

The rear sight goes on quite easily, the front may require a little bit a careful filing. If you have not replaced sights before just take the slide and sights to a local gunsmith.

 

[Halifax1977]

It's funny the front sight went on no problem. The rear sight is 2/3 on and I can't get it any more for fear of damaging the slide. I guess I visit the gunsmith on Monday.
