Very pleased
These are great. They fit my Shield perfectly and did not require fitting. I used a sight removal tool to remove the old sites as they were really in there from the factory. That was the most difficult part. The new sites went in no problem. They are highly visible day or night and I am very happy with them.
Good value
I have installed several sets of these sights without complaint or issue for quality. I can't understand why the prior review had issues. The sights go on like a breeze why you install them in the proper direction and with the correct tool. In addition you need to remove the internals from the slide prior to disassembly. The set has "trijicon" written all over them and is made of steel. Great value, bright lamps and they work.
Don't bother
I ordered this sight set and at first was pleasantly surprised since they are made by Trijcon, but after installing the rear sight, a portion of the striker safety cover was still exposed, and this could be a potential problem if anything were to work it's way in there. the base of both front and rear sight taper to a point and seem to be soft, so they deformed easily when installing with a brass or polymer punch, if your going to use these sights you may want to get a special installation tool so you don't deform the sight and mar the finish of you M&P Shield 9/40. I am going to call Brownells and see if I can return the sight set, for me they may cause a problem if I ever have to use my gun, but it won't fire because my striker safety has dirt or dust in it.
