Be aware that the MGW sight tool for M&P will not work on the shield. The Meprolight KimPro Universal Sight Tool or other will be best. I've installed night sights on quite a few of my pistols that came stock with contrast or painted dot sights and the Ameriglo SW-145 tritium 3 Dot night sight set is the best choice for the M&P Shield. They are not likely to cause holster snag, the day use outline is crisp and clear, the tritium inserts produce good illumination and I have confidence they will last for years of recoil and general wear and tear. I prefer the 3 dot version over the 2 dot SW-141 version. I find 2 dots a bit slower to acquire elevation. I have installed Ameriglo Operators / Pros / Special combinations / Defoor / Target sights on many, many Glocks and find them to be my favorites for them. I have never been disappointed in any of the Ameriglo products I've purchased.
