grouse Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Looking for a new front and rear sight for my mp pro. I find the fiber too large to hold on small plates. What do you guys like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saab Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Before you get new sights, try using a black marker to darken the front and sides of the fiber. I too thought the green was too big, but after using the marker, it was okay. This is my 2nd pro. With the first, I switched to Dawson. I prewfer the S&W front sight now because it is wider than the widest Dawson I could get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bthoefer Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I run a Dawson .100 W / .180 H front sight with a Warren tactical fixed rear on my pro. I'm very happy with this setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JupiterAdam Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Check out #4085L Heinie Ledge sights - I prefer the no dot set up they offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crossgun Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Running the Dawson fiber front but looking at the 10-8 thinking it might be a little more durable by design. As the eyes age seems I need more light or thnner front blades. I like the Burwell rears, great sight for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horseman Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Dawson adjustable and use the front height they suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hops Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 The dawson adjustable rear does not fit on an m&p pro core. You can keep the stock rear and just add a fiber front sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durtarg Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I run a Dawson 160T/100W FO front with a Warren/Sevigny competition rear. Very happy with thsi set up and get POA/POI. Great improvement over stock sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterpuc Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 On my competition guns I choose Dawson Precision Adjustable rear and 0.100" wide Fiber Optic Front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magsz Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Running the Dawson fiber front but looking at the 10-8 thinking it might be a little more durable by design. As the eyes age seems I need more light or thnner front blades. I like the Burwell rears, great sight for the money. The 10-8 is one of the most durable fiber optic sights on the market but the question is, for competition purposes, do we really need the added durability? Ive only junked one front sight and that was me being stupid and after two years of use. My Dawsons have held up fine over time and i prefer them since the fiber optic rod is higher in the sight than it is on the 10-8, ie closer to the tip of the blade.

Bobwat Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I run a Warren Tactical rear with a .115W .180H Dawson Precision fiber front sight. I like the U shape of the Warren Tactical rear sight. I have this setup on both of my M&P 5" Pro's (Production 9mm and Limited 40). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rialcel Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 not sure about the longer sight radius on the 5" but on my 4.25" I recently put the Warren Tactical Sevigny competition front and rear with a red f/o front and I really like them, also have heard good things about the heinie's, they were my 2nd choice/option.

IntenseImage Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 My favorite setup is the 10-8 rear with a .140 notch and a Dawson .125 wide fiber optic. Tried the .100 wide for a bit and at speed (idpa/uspsa) my accuracy suffered. Thinking about trying the .115 width Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Athouse Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I like a .115 wide Dawson FO front with a Burwell rear or the factory Pro rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
open67 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) Don't overlook the novak sights. Have a Dawson front and Novak with white dots on rear. Helps line the front dot up quickly especially in lower light conditions. Also have Novaks adjustable rear with white dots and the recommeded front. While Dawson's are great they require a higher front sight with his adjustables that starts to look like a sail to me. Novak's are still tall but not a tall and again the white dots on the rear seem to help line up that fiber optic dot quickly.

shel6977 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I'm using Dawson adjustable rear and a Dawson fiber front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awfaxis Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Had to have rear sights with something that stands out, so I use the William's Fire-sights. Nice adjustables with very bright inserts. (The pic is at my desk, but outside, they really pop. I can't use the blacked rear sights because I cannot focus on anything closer than 4 ft out.

saab Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Try the red fiber. It isn't as bright. My eye just likes it better. My eye does NOT like the fiber rear. It's just too busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippyaz Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 My favorite setup is the 10-8 rear with a .140 notch and a Dawson .125 wide fiber optic. Tried the .100 wide for a bit and at speed (idpa/uspsa) my accuracy suffered. Thinking about trying the .115 width I have that exact setup, except I am using the .115" width front. It works great.
