When these sights are folded in can they be used as standard sights or are they only good for 45degree sights?

They lay flat on your rail when they're folded in so they're only good for 45 degree sights.

The sights were too wide for my liking, they seem to be made for a wider pistol (double stack magazine sized pistol instead of a single stack like the XDs). I returned mine because the rear sight would over hang each side of the slide due to its width. If that doesn't bother you, they appear well made.

These sights work on all XD models, they are the press in sights. A good gunsmith will have the tools and skills to put these on don't let them tell you they must be cut out.

Yes some ! 45° sights I put tape over . I love them & I have one for every gun . even my AR 10 , great gun case & coyote hunting I carry the hole case out & you can put stuff on them. Only one gun I had to much on it & was a problem. Got a 4 door truck fit up under the seat nice . great product & you should have no problems. Like I said my AR 10 fits in them.

The only firearm I have installed these sights on is a S&W; 1911. They were a perfect fit for that gun.

Probably not. Unless you put the sight on risers, it'll be in the field of view. I have Diamondhead flip-up sights on my KSG and they are in the middle of the sight when they are up. That is exactly what I wanted (in case the battery is dead, I can still draw a bead), but something you might not like. There are short Picatinny rails that will give you the height necessary to clear your fixed sight.

Confirm Sixxdog's answer. They're ambidextrous. Consider also, if you cant the rifle 45º right, and you have a right hand ejection port, where are the empties going to go? Before you order, you might try firing a few rounds in the same shooting position you would use if you had these sights installed. Good luck!

I would assume that It would work just fine. I bought both the front and rear sight. I can tell you that they are made very well and are very durable. I have had a lot of sights before but with these sights you can aquire your target even faster.

Sight sticks up just a tiny bit more than two stacked quarters. About the same as factory sights. I have had no problems with this sight catching on any of my holsters.

Not sure I have free float rail with flip up sights mounted on a 45 degree angle.

The supplied mounts work well, as long as your gun is listed. I have the front site on a HK P-30L and love it. the supplied bases will raise the center of the red dot above the front site correct height so you would not use the front site unless the DeltaPooint sight failed, and Leupold DeltaPoints just don't fail. I have had mine for 2 + years now and have had no issues. I also have one on a 1911 in 38 Super.

Not sure, The scope I bought was fine but the mounts were no good so I bought these. I also wanted to use the original sights, But this set is to tall to clear the back sight. for now At least they hold the scope well.

Thanks for the quick reply. BTW, would you recommend the Ameriglo sights you purchased, or another manufacturer?

Brandon the answe to your question is negative. These sights are specifically for S&W; M&P; full size, not for any other model.

i used a utg rear flip sight with it, that's probably your best bet. since they are made by the same company they can be used easily used together!

I have these sights with a red dot with a 1 inch riser and they work "ok" I wouldnt rely on them being perfect but it's one of those things, "you get what you pay for" if I were to do it again I'd find a better quality iron sight. remember these are for lowered gas blocks I have a DPMS Oracle. FYI Panther is the manufacturer you should include the model so we know what you're working with, good luck!

You have to keep in mind that these are fixed sights so i'm not sure that you will have the same accuracy placing them on a longer barrel gun with a more powerfulround. I can't say for certain of the fit but if this sight was made for a specific caliber and barrel length, i'd think twice about using it on something totally unrelated. Call up the local gunsmith in your area for a definite answer.
