M&P compacts

[LEW1943]

I have a 22C and a 9C2.0. Does anyone have any idea why the rear sight on the 9C is adjustable for windage only while the 22C is adjustable for both windage and elevation? Also, the 9C adjustment requires impacting with a soft mallet to move it - not conducive to fine adjustment.


Both pistols are very reliable and fun to shoot. No issues with either.

One is a target pistol, one is a self defense pistol.

I'd be happy to know why they opted to use a totally different slot size for the rear sight on the 22C. I'd rather have the identical fixed sights as the other M&Ps.

I'll guess is the difference in the firing pin block.
