Does anyone know if the regular M&P front fiber optic sight from HiViz will fit the M&P 22 or is there another model that will work? I just picked one up and want to outfit it like my other M&Ps.
I've got a factory M&P front sight that I took off my 9FS, I'll guess I'll check Sunday when my son hopefully returns it. He really liked the way it shot- just said the trigger was a little heavy and gritty.
I talked to HiViz today and their fiber optic front would "not" work on the M&P 22. They said they would have one out - with a set screw- in about 2 months.

Damn. Well, maybe I'll have some spare mags by then too, lol. My plan was to put a HiViz on the 22 and a TruGlo TFO on the 40FS.
Why in the world the dovetail would be different on the 22, who knows... S&W also needs to tell Walther to make the slide EXACTLY the same dimensions as the centerfire guns. My 22 won't fit in its big brother's Safariland ALS.
The M&P's are a steel slide and use a press fit front sight. The M&P22's are aluminum and have a set screw, so you don't have to drive them in so hard. If you try to drive in a front sight without a set screw and want it to stay tight, you may damage the slide. Personally, I would not do it.
