Anyone have suggestions for where I can find a fiber front and blank rear sight for the M&P 22 pistol? If I remember correctly, the 22 version of the M&P doesn't use the same sights as the standard M&P's.

Thanks!

The rear sight on the 22 is all black, but can be fitted with any rear sights that fits a FS. I use a stock MP9 rear on mine.The front is different from the FS I believe. Some folks here use 10-8 rears as well. PM Dog1 of TheTacticalCoyote, as they will give better info than me.

I couldn't stand the rear sight on mine so I replaced it with one from an M&P9. Just had to stone it down a little. Vast improvement.

I would suggest Dawson Precision...best "sight man" in the business.

You are correct. The M&P22 can use any std M&P rear. I just installed a rear from a FS 40 and it went in very easily, no sight pusher needed, just a punch and a dozen taps of a 5oz tac hammer. You can order a new std M&P replacement rear from S&W for $16+s/h.

The front, on the other hand, would need to be filed down a bit because the channel is slightly smaller. I simply put a dot of white model paint on the front sight to match the rears since the OE front isn't bright white and is much smaller than normal.
