Anybody carrying a MP9c? What sights you running?

[wpsharpshooter]

I sold my mp9c about a year ago (divorce) But I knew I wanted another one as soon as I was in a spot to get one because the gun carried well, and I shot it decently, so I bought another one yesterday and already being familiar with how I shot the last one I know of 2 things I wanted to get rid of. The regular sights and the trigger. Ive never messed with putting sights on any of the pistols ive owned as all the other carry weapons Ive had didnt need them or couldnt be replaced (J-frame) So now Im looking to do this with the 9c and am clueless on HOW to do it and WHAT I need to be looking at. Is this something that I need a gunsmith to do or is it pretty straight forward? And for those that have swapped theirs out, What are you running? Also, Thoughts on smoothing out the trigger? Is the Apex the only game in town for these guns? Thanks in advance

I bought an M&P 9mm Shield a week ago and had the sights changed before it left the store. I put Truglo sights on it (green) with the white outline on the front. At 7 yards can place all shots in one hole (the one hole drill) which I'm pretty sure I would be unable to do with the original factory sights. I have Trijicon on a Glock Gen2 with the Orange front, and actually like these sights better, but the store only had Truglo and didn't want to try to order for the Smith since I was going out of town for a couple of months and wanted the sight job done before I left. This is my new carry gun.

Youtube is your friend. There are hundreds of videos on how to do it.

I carry a 9c. Just as it came from the factory. I must not be near as picky as some on here. I have total confidence in it with its factory trigger and sights.

I bought a 9c last October. I put Amarillo Hackathorn lime green front and solid black on the rear.
I left the trigger stock as the triggers are now better than the older M&P's were. For a carry gun I'd recommend putting several hundred rounds through it and dry firing a few thousand times before changing the trigger and opening yourself up to legal issues if you would ever need to fire it in self defense.

Ameriglo - not Amarillo.

All but one of my M&Ps has gotten the Truglo TFO treatment. I find them to be the best average across ALL light conditions due to their unique Tritium and fiber optic combination.

My EDC is a 9C, it has stock sights but I blackened out the rear white dots.

I put a CTC laser on mine; it has worked well for me (once I got the laser sighted in)

Just my humble, non expert opinion, but my 9C is fine just like it came from the factory. It's a carry gun. If your looking for a 1" group at 40 or 50 feet, you should have bought a full size or target pistol. During the heat and adrenaline of a life threatening gun battle, I don't think I'll be feeling for the trigger break or looking for a green or red dot. I'll think I'll be breathing heavily and trying to get close to center mass. I hope I never find out.

I've got a big dot on my FS but I wouldn't do it again, so I just keep the stock on my compact. Trigger? I put the Apex kit in the FS but not in the compact. Just don't think it's worth it.

PS- you live and you learn.

I carry a 9c ,love it. Put truglo on all my guys but left trigger alone it works great for me. I have tried G30s, Springfield XDs, and even M&P40c but always come back to 9c. the only thing that might come close to replacing my 9c is the Mod2 that gun is a solid back up when I want to carry something different

I run 10-8 u notch rear and FO front on all my M&P's as well as an Apex DCAEK. It's the best set up for me!

Me too. Haven't had a single issue qualifying for my ccw with it.

Put on a set of truglo fiber optic night sight yesterday and shot it today. Point of aim point of impact. I have done many sets of sights with no issues. You need to remember the sight goes left to right when taking them out. I won't polish out the trigger until I have 500 or so rounds down range.

That's the way to go.

 

[richiecotite]

I run ameriglo hackathorns on my 9c

Also ru. The setup stock, but that's mostly because I haven't bought a dcaek for it yet

That's what I'm running, fantastic four fast target acquisition. I usually use the XS Big Dot Sights but the version for the 9c does not have a tritium vial in the rear sight.
