JerseyGuy Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Ok- so I picked up a M&p 2.0 5" 9mm to use for 3 gun,uspsa, steel challenge and idpa- I put dawson competition sights and a apex trigger in/on it-- I was looking for faster tracking of the front sight--- so black target rear with f.o. front(skinny)I am having accuracy problems with it--It's not the gun--it holds .75" at 15 yards bagged---I was starting to think maybe i'm just not as good as I thought ---but I took my shield(bone stock- 3 dot) to IDPA today. I shot a back up gun in the ssp division.. A big disadvantage I'm told .. well I shot sharpshooter on the qualifier... I am very confused as to why I shoot this subcompact better and fasterI do wear glasses and feel like on the shield that the front and rear sights are on the same plane(as if the rear sight had 3 dots to align)help please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthyBlagga Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 The stock M&P triggers all suck - even the much-vaunted 2.0. I change the triggers on all my M&P match guns (though I leave my defensive guns bone stock). Install an Apex FSS trigger kit and see where you are then.

StealthyBlagga Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) OK. Maybe try a wider front sight - see if someone has one on a gun you can try. If you want more fine aiming, zero to the corner of the front sight post. Also, I have a friend who struggled with consistent trigger finger placement. He switched to a different grip panel and found that worked much better for him. Edited June 16, 2019 by StealthyBlagga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyGuy Posted June 16, 2019 Author Share Posted June 16, 2019 Is it just trial and error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpom Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Am far from a great shooter but found out a "skinny" front sight not very accurate, perhaps because so much light on each side leads to inconsistent alignment w rear, compared to narrow light bands.

Code3FPV Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 That's why I like the Proctor Y Notch sights. They have enough space at the top to quickly track the front sight, but the bottom area of the notch is actually narrower than the front sight so you can get a really precise alignment when you need to place very accurate shots.

JerseyGuy Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 I grabbed a hiviz (cheap I know) front sight.. it's 160 h 125w The Dawson was 180h 100w My rear is 135 w... Seems better and poi at 15yds is better... I'll have to try it in a competition to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
