I have a S&W Model 41 Performance Center. Does anyone know if the front sight of the model 41 needs to be removed to accommodate the view angle?

Hi PA. I would not remove the front sight. It is designed to be used as a backup just in case the batteries go out on the red dot.

PA I am no expert, but I have a firearm setup or two where the front sight is on the periphery ( at the six o`clock position) of the Aimpoint sight picture. It is not a distraction when you are using the Aimpoint focusing on a target. Hope this helps. Bill

It sits pretty high on the rail so co-witnessing will be a problem unless you have aftermarket sights possibly using a riser to bump them a little higher. I'm pretty sure that it won't co-witness with any stock sights on a firearm.

Yes, I mounted a 3x9 scope on a M&P; Sport and don't notice the front sight.

You will not be able to co-witness the front iron due to the magnification of the ACOG. I would recommend the AimPoint CompM4s if you want the total picture.

You don't any front sight with the See All. Just line up the target with the top of the triangle in the lens and you're on. Simple to sight in and very accurate. Love mine, and have three deer this year to prove it.

Nope - the front sight assembly (much later, because of the baoynet) on the M44 is different, as far as I'm aware.

No....look up the sights for that gun. I have one too. Requires a different sight.

Yep, it's removable.I actually removed it from the pic mount to directly screw it onto a different system. The rail performed perfectly, I just wanted it mounted closer in line with the bore.Additionally, the sight came with (off the top of my head) the star allen wrench, the pic rail, mounting screws and alternate mounting screws.

The SeeAll sight does not require a separate front sight. It functions sort of like a red dot, except that you do NOT look "through" the sight. The intended target is viewed on top of the "point" of the sight, like iron sights.

I was able to put it in just fine. I'm handy, but by no means a gunsmith. Make sure you get a good brass punch set so you don't mar the finish. Also, take a wax pencil or something like that to mark the position of the rear sight before you move it to the side. A sight press made (I got something like this: http://www.sightpusher.com/) it much easier to remove the sight, but you could probably tap it off with the punches. Good luck! This trigger made all the difference.

Did you install the rear sight? If so, how did everything turn out? Do the front and rear sights line up and provide accuracy? I have the 590A1 and am looking forward having this kit installed. thx for the feedback.

It should. No change in front sight. Not a problem to do yourself....if you have a padded vise and punch. The punch provided is a little flimsy.

I have not tried it on a M&P22.; I did remove the rear sight from a M&P; Shield but could not get the front off. On the M&P22;, which sight are you trying to remove?

Won't be a problem at all since you can remove one side of the mount on the sight. Remove the side and place the sight where you want on the rail then tighten back down.

I had good luck with this sight, however my rail system required that my gunsmith place a small shim under the back of the site. I think it is a solid product and the price is right. It also helped my grandson learn to shoot accurately. i can't answer the slight angle movement question, as I didn't experience any problem when shooting at targets.

No. However the front irons usually dont affect the sight picture enough to warrant changing your sihht tower. When i used this on my dpms Oracle with the front sight folded in the up position it didn't interfere with sight picture. But it was an 8-32 zoom scope as well, with a 1x setting it may be visible in your field of view.

Hello, I have 1 of these. If it's the same as mine there should be 2 allen screws holding 1 side on. As you look at this photo it will be in the back or right side of the photo. Unscrew those allen screws w/ an allen wrench appropriate size, the 1 side piece should come off. This is then placed over the end of barrel pushed all the way on and it should slide around the front sight. If your front sight is triangular in shape it won't fit and you probably have a model 91/30. Your sight should be what's referred to as a hood sight. Rounded metal over the actual sight. The muzzle brake should slide on and the piece that came off should be located just behind the guns sight, on top of gun of course. The screw on piece should fit snug just behind the sight in its proper place as when you first removed the piece to slide it on the gun. These screws made by NC Star are cheap quality. If you get it on and screwed on tightly you're lucky! They usually strip out. Find replacement screws if that's possible before installing. To keep these screws on without loosening up while shooting use "lock tight" on the screws. I hope that answers your question.
