Default M&P Pro Front Sight

Hello All, I just purchased a new M&P Pro 5in 9mm and found that the Front Fiber Optic Sight is hard to see in low light. Does anyone know if you can purchase just the front sight from Tru Glow I am looking at the TFO. Thanks, John

recently got one, not a fan either and yes you can replace them. truglo TFO are great sights for day or night.

I also prefer the Ameri Glo tritium sights, the simple I-dot configuration. Works nite and day. No breakage.

AmeriGlo Smith Wesson Front and Rear Sets, No Shield, I Dot SW-301 Up To 25% OFF Best Rated

My only objection is the front sight is kind of big and obscures your target beyond 12 yards or so.

Thanks to all, Can anyone tell me what the height of the factory FO sight is? When I measure it, it comes out to @.180.

.180 is correct. However, some people, including myself find that the that height front sight causes a low POI. I went with a .160 tall front sight and it hits where I put the red dot.
