Default M&P sport ll OR gas block sight question. HELP! Before I'm surrounded by commies!

Recently picked up the m&p sport ll or. Im using a carry handle as my back sight, My gas block is same plane as reciever rail. Do I need a low or high profile front sight? Looking to pick up a flat top picatinny front sight that resembles the classic a2 sight posts.. see pics, can anyone help?

You need the standard profile. The high profile is used when the rail on the gas block is lower than the rail on your receiver.

Still not sure how to differentiate.. most of what I'm seeing states high or low profile on the picatinny versions. I'm only seeing "standard" applying to the classic a2 gas block sights

I'd go with the LoPro for your set-up.

Exactly... two choices, you don't want the high ones.

So low or standard will both work? What's the difference between the two?

2 things.

Very simple to figure out with google.

You'll be dead before transitioning to "back-up" sights.
