Carry handle for an M&P Sport
I'm thinking of replacing the MBUS rear sight with a carry handle. Which carry handle have you installed on your M&P Sport?

I had the chopped carry handle style sight from LMT on my Sport at one time. You can get carry handles made by LMT, Colt, BCM, Bushmaster, etc.
If you do a search, there are several threads on these. Just make sure you get the "mil spec" one that will work with F marked sights. The commercial ones require a different front sight post to work...

I just installed a surplus Colt A-2 carry handle....used but in great shape, bought on EvilBay. It ended up being 31 bucks and just needed a light scrubbing and it'll need a coat of flat black spray paint. It fits perfectly.

Check forums and auction sites. You'll run into people selling the carry handles that came with their rifles because they jump right into a optic / folding sight.

Another that picked up a Colt take off. You specify a Sport but for the purpose of a carry handle add, it's just like any other AR. I got one for my M4 clone build. Love the simplicity.

I purchased my carry handle from Smith & Wesson. It works great.

They're not on the website, you have to contact customer service. Here's the email that I received from them earlier today:
Reference number: LTK111770982835X Please use this ticket number in any correspondence with us.
Subject: Removable Carry Handle for an M&P15 Sport
Dear Customer,
It's about $108 plus $6.50 for shipping.
Sincerely,
Rachel
I can get a NOS Colt for a lot less.

Wow... 108 seems a bit much. Colt take offs can be had for $45.

I have an UTG carry handle and it is really top notch. Price is usually great on UTG stuff too.
