915 newbie

[3daman!]

I finally shot my recently acquired 915 this past weekend. For My first 9mm ,it shoots ok. held target good and had no FTF problems using different brands and weights of bullets. I have always shot .45, and diffidently can tell the difference in recoil and sight reacquisition between the two.
I've done a little searching on this model and posted up here and received a bunch of good answers to some questions I ask.
Now I have some more questions for those in the know.

First, Is this 915 pistol considered a "generation" gun? (i.e. first,second,third)

Second, How about aftermarket rubber type grips? I found I'm not real keen on the plastic factory grips. Its like my grip is not solid.
What model grips do I need that will interchange and fit the 915 frame? I'm hoping to find a used set if I can be sure on the correct fit.

Third, If I decided to change out the sights, What are my options and your opinions.

I am leaning on possibly using the 915 as my everyday CCW piece, if the tweeking of it to suit my preferences are not to hard on the pocket!

Thanks,
DAVE

These are about the only night sights I've found.

Trijicon SA04 S&W

Trijicon Night Sight Set for Smith&Wesson (Non-Novak LoMount) - SA04 FREE S&H SA04Y, SA04. Trijicon Tritium & Fiber Optic Night Sights.

Same sights different price.

Gongrats on the 915. I love mine.

My favorite carry has been the 915 for a while now. 100% factory with the exception of the Trijicon SA04 night sights I purchased & install last year & a strip of "skater tape" I put on the front strap area of the grip.

The Trijicon's made all the difference in the world. Exceptional sight picture. The skater tape (which I put on all my working guns) makes my small hands grip the gun much better. I really helps & you can't beat the price.

Enjoy that 915. I think it was one of S&W best kept secrets!

P.S...............It's a 3rd generation.
