M&P 22 - Dawson Precision now makes front sight

[SlowShooter]

FYI, M&P22 shooters:

I just noticed that Dawson Precision now has a front-sight made specifically for the M&P22 listed on their website:

(Previously, the only option was to take a sight made for the 9mm/40/45 and file it down to fit, the dovetails were not exactly the same)

I made a video documenting the installation on my M&P22, so you can see how it looks, here:

great vid. interesting that the picture does not show the set screw. I wish Dawson would put the set screws on the reg mp sites

There are two sight types on dawson's website, the .160 ht and the .180 ht?

Which can be used with the standard m&p rear sight?

Reason I ask is because it says .160 in the vid, and when I called dawson they were unsure and said something about someone's pistol not being zero'ed and that the .180 was the correct one?

.160 to work with the factory rear sight (I say this in the video).

I dont know why they make a 0.180 I can't figure-out what it would be for.

Both should work as you have an adjustable rear.

I suspect that if you bought the taller front sight you might run out of adjustment before on the rear sight; but I am only speculating. I have no idea why they make the taller front sight , unless your pistol is just shooting very high.
