M&P9 Stock Sights: Adjustablity
Are the M&P9's stock front and rear sights adjustable for windage (horizontal adjustment) and elevation (vertical adjustment)?
If not, can they be easily replaced? If so, what are the preferred aftermarket options?
Thanks, guys...

Either or both can be moved horizontally.

Windage yes. Easy no. Unless you have a good sight pusher.... in which case it's simple. I've adjusted the sights on both of mine with ease, and removed and reinstalled them to replace the striker block with no problem.... with a pusher. Without one it's a pain.
I haven't replaced mine so I can't answer the last part of your question.

Ahh... So, no elevation adjustment on the rear sight. Hmmm...
The rear sight on the Ruger SR9 can be adjusted vertically & horizontally; a good feature to have on a stock pistol.
Thanks, epj.

Are the M&P sights well-adjusted, out-of-the-box? If not, where does one find a pusher, and how much do they cost?

Both of mine were fine out of the box. I only had to adjust after removing the rear sight.
I got my pusher on Amazon a few years ago. I think it was $75 - $100?
But it is basically universal and have used it on a number of guns.

epj makes and sells a great sight pusher called the JMT Sight Pusher, here's his forum ad, and here is his website.
I bought one to remove and replace the sights on my Shield and I'm very glad I did because the front sight was really tight, considerably tighter than the rear was.
