Fiber optic sights.
Just a quick question. Can anyone recommend a good fiber optic sight set for my m&p 9c? Thanks in advance.

Dawson Precision and Novak are the most frequent choices among competitors. I have Novak on the 9 Pro 5" factory, and Dawson on the .22

I have the TruGlo Brite-Site on both my 9c & 45c. Tritium and Fiber-optic, works great day or night.

glows in dark from radioactive decay. half-life about 12 years
With ambient light, FO is brighter, but FO is invisible in total darkness. tritium is of little use with ambient light.
Tru Glo combines both into one sight, but plain FO is brighter in normal light,
You pays your money and you makes your choices...

Tritium emits beta radiation. The vials are lined with phosphors that absorbs the electrons and emits visible light (radio-luminescence.) Tritium has a half-life of 12.3 years so the sights dim over time and will eventually need to be replaced.
