I would not attempt to change an S&W auto that had that winged front sight.
Guns so fitted seem harder and harder to come by these days. It seems the Novak style fixed sight was more popular. Unfortunate as that winged sight is very rugged, and allows ready adjustment. Adjustment of the fixed type is less precise, and judging by the number of threads on this forum about the tightness of dovetails on both the 3rd Gen and the M&P pistols, not as easy to accomplish, even with a sight pusher.
What the world needs now is a readily adjustable sight that is as rugged as the tightly fitted dovetail sights. Just my thoughts.
