So I picked up a 9mm shield.  Came with 2 extra mags for $375.  That 4 mags total.  What do you think?  Shot it and the paint came out of the front sight and left rear sight.  I replaced the front dot with a white wax pen filled up the recesses.  Will the standard front M&P night sight fit in the dove tails?  I removed the right white dot and now have a similar setup like my fs and compact with 10-8 rears.

The Shield has the same dovetail cut that normal M&Ps have.

It is my understanding that the front sights are no problem as long as they are .230 high.  The problem with using M&P rear sights is they are normally too wide.  They will protrude beyond the dovetail on both sides of the slide.  I just ordered an Ameriglo I-Dot Pro front sight for mine.  It has a tritium vial in the front sight surrounded by an orange ring.  In about 2 weeks they are supposed to have rear sights available with a single tritium dot on them.  Hope this helps.

Thanks for the heads up!  I replaced the front sight with one I pulled off my FS when I originally replaced it with a tritium one.  Same size as stated.  Although the right ledge on the sight has a "S" on it compared to the Shield's.  Will wait for Ameri-glow to come out with a green outline, or go with factory tritium front.
