How many of you have changed the sights on your M&P22 and what is the verdict on them. The only ones that I have seen that are specifically made for the M&P22 are the Dawson Precision front and rear. I've seen one member with this setup, has anyone else used these sights and what do you think of them. If there are any other sights made specifically for the M&P22, I would like to know. Have some extra money to spend on it, but it is such a great gun, the sights are the only thing that I can think of to upgrade. I've already bought extra mags and rubber texture grips and of course, lots of ammo. Thanks.
WHO HAS CHANGED SIGHTS ON M&P22

I've gone through the trouble of installing the same sights I use on my centerfire M&Ps. In the end, it worked out real well, but to be honest it was a real pain to get the front sight to work due to the non-tapered dovetails on the M&P22.
In my humble opinion, you are better off if you get sights as a set that are made specifically for the M&P22. I've heard good things about the Dawson Precision sights.

I knew from experience with a rental that I did not like the blacked out rear stock sight, and bought the paired Dawson Precision sights as soon as I purchased my M&P22.
I am quite happy with them so far. Dawson also guarantees that the elevation will be correct, or they will replace your front blade for free.

Advantage Tactical sights are available
I have sets of advantage Tactical on my M&P 45 full size and Compact; M&P 40; M&P Shield and M&P 22. they're the fastest aquisition sights I've ever shot. An they work in all light conditions (even very low lite except pitch black). The Nov./ Dec. issue of American Handgunner has an add for them on pg.107.

What height did you get, I noticed on the Dawson site that they have two front sight heights 160 and 180. Which one worked for you with their rear sight. I think I found the answer, on their site on the info for their rear sight, it says it matches with their 160 height front sight. Is this what you have. Thanks, Jesse.

Dawson has a rear sight too? I only saw the front sight. Is the rear sight adjustab;e like the factory one?

I installed the Truglo TFO Tritium+fiber optic sights on my M&P22. The rear sight dropped right in, took 30 seconds. The front sight required a lot of grinding and filing to get it to fit the dovetail correctly. Definitely a lot more work than I had hoped for. That said I love the results. The elevation is right-on. I have attached a few pics; I hope they help.
(Edit) The Truglo TFO sights are for the M&P line in general, not the M&P22 in particular.

Looks great, good job!
Sight picture looks nice, Laird. Is the TFO rear sight adjustable?

The rear sight is fixed; it has a set screw to lock it in place but no elevation adjustment screw. There is enough of a gap between the rear sight and the frame to slide 3 pieces of paper, so there's plenty of room to grind the sight lip to raise or lower the point of impact.

I must admit, these sights are interesting... I use XS Big Dot on my SA 1911 for Steel Matches.. I would be very interested in hearing MORE about your experiences. I didn't see to many u-tubes.
Thanks

What distance are people sighting in at??
I've been to the range twice now and can not get the stock sights adjusted properly...shooting to high at 10-15 yards..
I dont think the adjustment screw is lowering the blade enough...I can still push the blade down but it wont screw down any lower..
I have the 9fs rear dots on order hoping maybe this will get me where i want to be at..
I love the gun and its has shot 100% with CCI's but its becoming frustrating...maybe I'm expecting to much from the gun/sights after coming from a 22A target

Hi all and Merry Christmas
Newcomer to the forum, first post
I just upgraded to nightsites on my M&P45- can I install my removed rear sites off my M&P45 onto my soon to be picked up M&P22?
Thanks all!
I thought about the same thing. I am curious what the response is. The only thing I can think of that would can being able to do it is there is no elevation control that I am aware of on the regular stock M&P rear sight. Perhaps it is just shimmed if it needs any adjustment? Not real sure. I had Trijicon's put on my M&P40c, the stock sights are in a box collecting dust. If the rear works on the M&P22 I'll move it on over too
