Night sights for a S&W Shield

[jbgramps]

I got about 300 rounds through my S&W Shield. I shoot it poorly. Not sure why since I do well with my other guns. So, I gonna try night sights. Never used night sights before. Any recommendations or other considerations on night sights?

So, I gonna try night sights.

Why?

Why?

My hope is it night sights improve how well I shoot it. If I can't learn to shoot it better I'm just going to sell it. I'm not a shooting novice. Been shooting for over 50 years. At first I thought it was the gun, but my son shoot it great. I'm old and my eyes aren't what they used to be, so I'm going to give night sights a try.

Ah, you think you will see them better, right? I have a Big Dot on my Shield and it works well for me, but some here have lots of hate for them.

Just a word of warning: those factory sights have a rib on them that make them one hell of a SOB to get off.

Fiber optic may help more than night sights.

I put a set of Truglo's TFO (Tritium - Fiber Optic) sights on my step-daughter's Shield; glow at night thanks to the tritium and blaze like crazy in the day due to the fiber-optics.

That sounds awesome. Do they feel solid? Does the finish match up nice to the slide finish?

 

[Andy]

Yes on both counts.

jb....your hands pretty big?. I just bought one myself and had to get extra finger on trigger. I see the advantage of a smaller cc when its 100degrees. Wasnt a fan of them, until i started cc.
I painted my sights with that phos paint. Actually works quite well and is cheap
