WHO HAS CHANGED SIGHTS ON M&P22

[tgmorris99]

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!

When I switched to night sites on my M&P9c I moved the stock 9c sights to my M&P22. The only word of caution is that the M&P22 slide is aluminum so you do need to be a bit careful. However, at least in my case, they did go on w/o too much trouble.

Just got the Dawson fiber optic front site for the M&P22. Love it. Was easy to install and is right on.
I still have the stock rear site for now.

Any pics of the sights on the gun.

If I keep the stock rear sight, which Dawson front height should I get for a center hold sight picture? Thanks!

I installed Novak FO sights on my M&P9c, but before ordering any for my M&P22, I thought I'd try flourescent red jig paint on the front and flourescent green jig paint on the rear. It worked out so well, that I'm leaving it the way it is. I did have to put a white base under the rear one to make it bright. The front one was or course, already white. Just clean them real good before doing it. Used a sharpened toothpick under a lighted magnifyer. Keep in mind, in the photo, it's over three times bigger than looking at the gun, so you really can't see the rough edges on the rear sight.

The stock front sight is .160, but I found I had to adjust my rear sight down all the way, to get POA at 25 yards, using CCI-Mini-Mags. The .180 would allow a little upward adjustment.
When I installed FO sights on my M&P9c, I had to go with a .180 front sight to get POA also.

Has anyone installed Trijicon Night Sights on their M&P22?

Maybe I'm missing something but all of my stock center fire m&p front sights are way way too loose for the mp22. In fact, even the Hiviz and Truglo TFOs I have for the regular m&ps just slide right out of the front dovetail on the 22 slide. The rears are loose as well but the setscrew tightens that up OK but there is no way I can use any of my m&p front sights on the mp 22. I don't get it....I see where everyone is doing a lot of filing and sanding to make the stock fronts fit but my mp22 is just the opposite. Did Smith make a change to the dovetail I'm not aware of? I just picked this 22 up a couple weeks ago, brand new. Any ideas?

I wasn't aware DP made replacement front AND rear sights for the M&P 22. I'm going to call and put in an order!

I installed the Dawson front and rear M&P 22 sights. The install was a breeze, maybe 5 minutes. One or two swipes with a file. I bought the .180 front (DP recommends the .160) but my gun was shooting high at 50'.

Haven't had the chance to shoot it since, sorry. But here's pics:

I'm really interested in how this works out. Mine is shooting high as well.

Does anyone know the width oh the stock front sight on the m&p 22 pistol?

I ended up installing a Dawson FO rear sight in green and a red Dawson FO front sight .180 tall, but it was shooting 3-4 inches low at 25 yards. Installed a .160 FO front sight and it now shoots dead on.

The Dawson's are awesome. Rear is fixed. I like them. Poor eyesight up close and I can pick up the red front quickly!

Ordered my Dawson's last night .. FO front and plain black serrated rear. This combo should match the 10-8's I have on my IDPA gun nicely
