I bought two HIVIZ fiber optic front sights (SW2014) to go on my Shield 9mms. I was surprised today to discover that neither of them fits - they are far too loose in the dovetail and can easily be slid around with only finger pressure.

I have installed HIVIZ fiber optic front sights on a couple of M&P Compacts and on one M&P Full-size, and they fit well. The Shield factory front sight was tightly fitted but when I removed it with the MGW sight tool I was shocked to discover the HIVIZ sights were so undersized. I'm sending them back tomorrow.

Anyone else have this problem? Anyone have recommendations for another brand of fiber optic front sight (don't want tritium)?

Thanks,

What size duplicates the factory front? There are so many widths and heights on the Dawson website that it's confusing. HIVIZ offers only one width and height that seems to be like that of the factory...but the dovetail is sure wrong.

Thanks,
