My old sight is with a wedge and pin. The question is how is this this sight attached,.

Sight fits into the factory slot and tightens with included screw. Use some loctite and let dry for 24hr before shooting.

On a glock, it is a screw post, and tiny virtually flat hex nut.It was really easy to install. If you have the right size nut driver, it is just a few minutes.

The new sight has a stud on the bottom that fits in the slot in the slide. Sometimes this needs a little bit of fitting. The sight is held on the slide with a tiny screw that is provided with the sight. I highly recommend you purchase the little sight installation socket or grind down one of your own. With the proper socket size, it is not too difficult to install the sight. Also advise you to clean the sight hole and the screw with alcohol and put some Blue Locktite on the threads.

I had a man @ a local gun store put mine on but you can do it yourself. When you put on the rear sight watch out for the firing pin safety it's under tension and held in place by the rear sight. YouTube is an excellent place for info on how to get this done.

No, it does not. I ordered this sight, with the same idea in mind. The new elevation plate is almost twice as wide as the old white diamond plate. Once I saw that this wouldn't work, I thought I could knock the pivot pin out (that the site flips up and down on) and just install the top half this way. Well, this doesn't work either because the new dovetail base plate is narrower than the existing one. Even after some filing, I decided that this really doesn't work. Wishing I had spent the extra dinero for some nice peep sights. Be prepared to really wrestle to get your sights out. I don't have a vise or a bench, and I couldn't get either the front of rear sight to budge. Hope this helps! No, it does not. I ordered this sight, with the same idea in mind.

It's not much bigger then a standard sight. I've never had a problem with that at all. Buy it

I'm not sure Jack. Not sure how it will line up or how it will co witness, if at all. I wound remove the front sight all together but that is just my preference. My AR came with no sights because I wanted to put my own on.

The pin on the spring that captures the sight is longer than the stock one. Make sure you use the one that came with it. It has a double function, after you get the right height just press the captured pin down a little bit and you can rotate the Tritium to the front with out changing your elevation. I hope this helps

I have no idea as this s the only m&p; that i own but the shield xs big dots were not hard to install. Getting the old sights off is the problem.

I'm looking at my 91/30 right now. There should be two pins at the bottom of the sight where it goes thru the dovetail, underneath the sight. They pass thru the top of the barrel as well.

I do not have this particular sight anymore, however this one is used if your rear sight is mounted on a flat top rail system. If you are mounting it lower, you will need the high profile sight.

I took mine to a gun shop, but I believe there is a special tool to press out the old rear sight and press in the new one. The front sight has a tiny nut that holds it in place that can be seen from the inside of the slide.

I had my gun smith install both.He has a jig to drill the holes for the rear sight. Drilled and tapped. And the front sight was welded on. Let a pro do it on this one. It will work and look great.Regards.Helmut1*

I compared my old M&PC; sights to my old Shield sights.they look close. The shield rear seems not quite as wide but by eyeball the dovetail seems to be the same profile. I have the Big Dot on my compact and wife's (my) Shield. The only reason my full size doesn't have them is because I'm putting a RMR and suppressor height sights on it.

It's pretty useless from my point of view. Around the ring of the sight is a piece of what seems like a tape that charges in the sun and then glows at dusk. Since you aim with the pins and not with this, I find it to be pretty useless.

Just the pins. The front sight tool is a small driver with a shallow socket.

No!! I used carbide drill bits to drill the hole for the retaining pin. The sight also had to be filed on the sides evenly to slip down into the open sight to fit flush with the barrel. The whole procedure took about an hour. If I had known this from the beginning, I would have tried to find an gunsmith to install. I also had to expose the sight to direct sunlight to activate the crystal. Works great now, but make sure the sight is aligned & flush before drilling the hole & putting the retainer in.

you need a small allen wrench to adjust your elevation sights. start @ 10yards sight the top pin then move to 20 yards sight the second pin, and so on.

I would suggest when you knock the pin out of the rear sight check it good because i was told there are some that are solderes in. You still have to be careful once you knock out pin there is aheavy piece of spring steel underneath because nothing is made light on this rifleI would suggest that you use epoxy or liquid steel when you set it in then put the screws in it will loosen up on you after about 25 shots or so it is acheap set up and you get what you pay for.
