Best adjustable night sights for my M&P 45?
I'm in the market for some good quality adjustable night sights for my Smith & Wesson M&P 45. The ones I have are not adjustable to my knowledge, and they are shooting low left. They are old and loosing their brightness, so for these reasons, I am in the market. What's the best you can buy for the money?
Thanks, Isaac

Re: Best adjustable night sights for my M&P 45?
Most have a set screw which will allow for movement. They make a sight adjustment tool, but in some cases they end up marring the slide. I've seen a few guys use smaller rubber mallets and a little finesse to persuade minor adjustments in sights with great success.
Before we go any further, I want you to post a picture of your grip so I can see how you hold the pistol with two hands.

I might be able to borrow one in the near future though. Are suggesting that possibly, it is a grip/form issue causing the impact to hit low left?

If this was the case, what would you suggest to correct the improper form?
It very well could be, but I am not sure what to do to diagnose and fix the problem if that were the case.

[/QUOTE]
Thanks for that info! It was very informative and helpful I was not gripping the gun the same way as directed in the video. I will practice applying that and I will let you know if that corrects the issue. I guess I will go buy some ammo and do some practicing instead of getting new sights. Thanks again, Isaac
