Awesome pic! Thanks! Any chance I can get a pic in low, but not darkened, light? Like an indoor range? Only light down range?
Anyone have the Tritium fiber optic sights yet?

Here's a quick shot in my living room with ambient lighting from windows and no electrical lights on ... sorry for the focus from the point/shoot camera.

Just installed the Truglo TFOs on my 9c last night. VERY impressed. They glow very nicely in total blackness, and likewise in good indoor/outdoor light. Weakest is in in between indoor dim light but they are still decent and better than factory in those situations. They seem well built but time will tell. Well worth the $62 IMHO.
As mentioned front (especially) can be a tight fit. I used heat on the slide to loosen the sight then heat on slide and chilled new sight for the install. Helped considerably.
FWIW, I used this tool:
B & J MACHINE : P500 UNIVERSAL SIGHT TOOL - World's Largest Supplier of Firearm Accessories, Gun Parts and Gunsmithing Tools
Did the job on two M&P projects yet will still work on my 1911's and such.

Follow the link(S) posted above. You can do it without one but it takes time, patience and is not without risk.
FWIW, certain sellers will install sights free/cheap when you buy from them.

The MGW 318 sight tool for M&P Pistols is hands down the best tool available. I have changed several sets of sights with no problems. Will also work on some other semi-autos. You clamp the slide in place, push out the old sight & pull in the new sight. Will not damage the sights or pistol. I just finished changing out a set of Novak F/Os with a new set of MeproLight Tritiums.

TFO durability
For those that are concerned about durability, the TruGlo TFO's on my wife's pistol have survived for 2 years in the harsh environment of her purse, as well as other places of concealment in cars and around the house.
If they came out with some that could go on my Walther PPS I'd do it as soon as I could. I think they are great sights.

just a really dumb newbe question. why do i need a 120 dollar tool to take the sights on and off?? I removed my rear sight with my thumb to get to the FP block under neath it so i could polish it. The sight was kinda tight but came of fairly easy. Is there something i dont know??????
