Any idea where I can find a thinner front sight for an M&P? Maybe .900? and maybe not as tall as .180?

Also, does anyone know what the M&P dovetail dimensions are?

Thank you,

Sandro

I think you can get alternative front sights for the M&P at Speed Shooter Special Specialties, a forum dealer. They list a custom option.

The front sight is pressed in very tight. If you don't have the proper tools expect to put a little effort into changing it.

Check Dawson and Speed Shooters Specialties. I don't know if they have exactly what you want. I think Speed Shooters may make custom sizes.

Speed shooters specialties makes .100, .115, & .125 wide variants at .180 and .160 tall. Speed shooters will also make a custom sized siqht if necessary. In addition, they sell the Scott Warrent sight sets and the Dawson precision sights.

Did anyone ever come up with the dovetail dimensions for the M&P?  I'm also looking to do something that isn't available "off the shelf."

Maybe on of the M&P gurus can confirm, but this is what I measured.

60 degree dovetail
.070" depth
.255" wide


Has anyone tried cutting a more common dovetail into their slide?
