Default M&P9 Fiber Optic Sights

I'm interested in upgrading to better sights than the stock night sights, mostly for range work. Would be interested in opinions, good or bad about the new fiber optic style sights and what brand to buy.

IMHO, buy the M&P 9 Pro 5" with factory fiber optic sights for IDPA and USPSA and keep the gun with night sights for carry.
That's what I did.

If you want good FO sights for your present gun, send the slide to Novak or Dawson Precision. Then you'll soon want an APEX trigger for competition. Then you'll wish you had the 5" barrel........
YMMV

I have the M&P 9L and thats the first thing I ordered from brownell was fiber optic front and rear, and it really makes a difference, I am older and my eye's just seem to do better with this type of sight. I ordered green rear and red front. Go for it you won't be sorry. Oh PKFC is right the next thing is the Apex trigger,I did that and now I have a fantastic firearm!
