Default Novak Fiber Optic Replacement

I need to replace the fiber optic on my front site of my M&P Pro 9 mm (#178010). Does anyone know what the diameter is on these tubes.

I've never had to figure out the diameter on the fiber optic b/c I think they are all the same diameter. The difference between the different sights will be the height and width of the sights in addition to if you want a smooth or serrated sight. The 9 Pro I found needed a shorter front sight than the one that comes with the pistol.

I can replace the tube myself, it's pretty easy to do. When I mic the M&P tube it comes to 3.54 mm. When I mic my S&W 22 Victory tube it comes to 2.83. You can buy replacement material pretty cheap, but it comes in a variety of diameters.

3.54mm sounds awful big. Are you measuring the rod or the lump melted over into a bead on the end?

My Dawson sights have 1mm inserts, Brazos 1.5mm.
