Default New Iron Sights?

I just picked up a used M&P .40 today, it was originally used by the Atlanta PD. When examining the gun I noticed that the iron sights were a little worn. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good reliable set that won't break the bank?

Thanks in advance!

what exactly do you mean with the sights being worn? the white dots are faded? that's easy to fix with nail polish.If you are looking for NS truglo tritum are the cheapest I've seen on ebay I had a few sets and they are great.

The white dots are completely gone. I was thinking of replacing them with NS, so I will go over to ebay and look those up. Thanks.

Couple bottles of Testors paint and a toothpick will take care of faded sights.

First thing I do anymore is black out the white dots on the rear sight, widen the notch with a chainsaw file, and install a fiberoptic front sight. Cheap and easy, and I haven't found a sight system I like better.
