I was looking for a set of adjustable sights for my 9mm fs after the white dots started to fall out and found Williams makes a set of fiber optic all metal sights #70962 that with a little search can be found for 50 + dollars shipped. Well made and easy to Install, front sight needed very little filing to give it a very tight fit.

I have them on my FS M&P9 slide and really like them.

There is one potential problem that folks should be aware of however. The front sight in the "adjustable" set is a little taller than the original, so you may run into difficulties in fitting it to a standard holster. Many will rub or drag on the sight.

I'm still looking for a holster that I can use for competition shooting with this sight, so I'd appreciate it if anyone has any suggestions. (Even the folks at Williams couldn't help when I last checked, and we tried every M&P size holster they had in stock.)

You can see the difference between the TruGlo TFOs and the standard Shield sights in the photo.

I use a holster that can be purchased with the Viridian C5 laser it does fit in it, designed to turn the laser on when pull from the holster then off when snapped back in.

I'm planning on getting a set of Williams adjustable firesights for my M&P22, when they are available at the end of July (supposedly).
I scaled the Firesights from this photo to my M&P22.

Turns out the front sight will be too high to fit my Serpa holster. Guess I'll have to look for a holster with more room, will check out the Blade-Tech and others.

I have a 5" CORE and the front sight is taller than normal (to co-witness with optics if fitted). I use a Blade Tech holster and there is plenty of room for the sight (or an optic since that area is open). It locks onto the trigger guard. In fact I have a holster for a 9c that is my EDC but I can use the same holster in competition with my 5", the barrel and slide kind of sticks out the bottom but it works. One thing they haven't gotten yet is accommodation for anything mounted on the lower rail (laser or light). But I don't use them so it doesn't bother me.
