On Shield .40, shoots 5" low.
Mounted these sights on a M&P Shield 40, with Apex trigger kit. Install was fine. After a visit to the range to verify my laser boresighting, I was disappointed to find that the sights dropped my point of aim by about 4" at 15 yards. Windage was right on.. Amazingly, I had a similar problem with an M&P Shield 9 factory sights, which was solved by installing these same sights, which put the sight picture dead on. Apparently, there is some variation in the geometry of the sights, or the firearms, that is not visible in the specifications when ordering. Wish I could find adjustable night sights. Only fix now is to alter your sight picture to a triangle, instead of dot.dot.dot.
