I noticed, too, in examining a S&W M&P Pro (which I have) that the dovetails on that gun seem quite similar. The front seems the same, and the rear is close. (I'd have to take the existing sights out to be sure, and I'm in no hurry to do that.)

While I have a sight pusher, getting the old out was a real chore. Apparently, the last owner had used some Loc-Tite-like material.

Thanks again.

I think I like this gun as well as any .45 I've owned -- and I've had a few. (Only a SIG 220 Match might've been better. Might've. I don't have the SIG any more.)

Incidentally, I went to Numrich first for parts -- and when they HAD them, they were generally priced MUCH higher than the same parts NEW, directly from S&W. Go figure.
