seeking suggestions on fiber optic/night sights

labloverva · Dec 20, 2018

For an M&P 2.0 9mm 3.6" compact.
My 75 year old eyes need some help here. I would like to get this done right the first time.
All of my other weapons have green fiber optic sights and I can see them well in the daylight.
I don't even know what is available out there to help me,
so I am asking ya'll for informed help.

THANKS!

The thing I’ve struggled with is dim light. My preference is Trijicon HD night sights with the flouresent’ish orange front. The tritium capsules are brighter than other night sights I’ve had. The orange pops out in dim and bright light. I like the HD’s better than the TruGlo TFO’s (tritium and fiber). For me, the TFO’s worked good in bright and dark, but not so great in dim light.

If you can, see if you can try some in bright, dim, and dark light. Everybody’s eyes are different. What works for me may not for you.

I put a set of Truglo sights that are glow worms for day time and tritium for night; excellent sights; cost me $90 to my FFL who also installed them.

Best Night Sights for Smith & Wesson Handguns - High Visibility S&W Sights

I think they still have a two month trial period. If you don't like 'em you can send 'em back. Can be a pain in the backside if you're paying someone to install them tho.

Check out Ameriglo "Hackathorn" designed Tritium with orange ring front sight.

10-8 Performance has you covered. Their fiber optic sight is top notch, also offer night sights if you choose.

TruGlo TFX Pro...read the reviews...it's a no brainer. Now just look for the best price.

This is what came on my PC Shield .45. HIVIZ(R) Shooting Systems | Manufacturing high quality firearm fiber optic and tritium sights >> Product categories >> LITEWAVE™

I ordered HIVIZ(R) Shooting Systems | Manufacturing high quality firearm fiber optic and tritium sights >> S&W Performance Center Ported Shield Replacement LitePipe Kit and some various fronts so I can experiment. Use a brightly lit indoor range and can see sights perfectly (age 60, trifocals).
