No.
From page 20 of the rule book, "1. Sights may be changed to another conventional notch and post type (see- "sights" in glossary for further information.
Page 81
"Sights: Only conventional notch and post type sights are permitted for IDPA competition. Sights may include tritium inserts, fiber optic inserts, white dots etc."
On the page there are two examples illustrated.
The Tru Glo are fine.
Take care

If you are going to change sights to fiber optic you may want to consider just changing the front sight and leave the rear sight in place.
When I put fiber optics on my M&P's I changed out the front only and then blacked out the dots on the rear.
I have found that during competition I don't have time to line up 3 dots and the rear dots seem to be more of a distraction than anything else.
It worked for me and was a little cheaper way to go.
Good luck.

C'mon John everyone knows how cheap you are ...lol BUT I know for a fact that you're nowhere as cheap as Bob
Fibre optic it is...
Thanks for your input gentlemen.........thats what I was looking for ..Being a cheap bastard as well and eyesight also getting it first test of age ....I agree green front post and I will black out the rear sights. What kind of paint have you used to black out sights....Im wondering if many of them will wipe off with gun cleaner products. Also ....my M&P now has a bright stainless slide ...When I used to shoot IPSC I used a product called "sight Black" in a spray can that wiped off after use...any one know if it can be had still , where?? Thanks again
guys. As usual always positive tips on solving problems or making firearm decisions that come with a $$ saving tip...

To the OP you can buy a can of sight Black that will work. Once you do it you won't go back to the dots but you can if you want to.
