I've put them on two pistols so far and I love them. Work good day and night. The price isn't bad either. Enjoy!

It takes a lot of work to get the sights off the shield, make sure to check out the videos on YouTube. I used a torch, once the red loc tite was liquid they moved but it still took more effort than any of the M&P's I've done. The Apex kit is great on the shield.

S&W M&P FS 9/357/40/45, 40PRO, 40C, All perfected with Apex!

Watch the videos twice before removing rear sight. Make certain you go in the correct directions for removal and rebuilding of gun. One pins is harder to reinstall and might require extra patience.

Enjoy!

I know about the loc tit has to be heated, I have a sight pusher that I have used on two other guns, works pretty good. I watched the apex video twice already. Looks pretty straight forward

I had to use a flat edge screwdriver and a deadblow to get my sights to move. It was a chore to get them recentered using a hammer.
