Could someone please comment on the size of these compared to the factory Shield sights. Thanks!!

Sight pic pops immediately without concentrating so much on alignment on target. Factorys are very good, these are better for quick target acquisition.

They're about the same size and shape. What's nice is the front dot is nice and big. Great acquisition.

These sights sit about the same height as the factory sights do. They are very easy to pick up and even quicker to get on target. Great sights, worth every penny.

I have these on my full size and compact. I think they would be too wide for a Shield. Ameriglo makes Shield sights and it describes them for the Shield only.

The spec is the same for the dovetail for a sig sight. BUT Springfield dovetails are tighter. I've installed these on a XD and I had to use 1000 grit Emory paper to clean out the dovetail before installing the XS SIGHT. I Don't know if Springfield still peens the sight in from underneath but they used to and it makes the factory aight difficult to remove

Because the Shield has a narrower slide, this Trijicon set will fit the rear dovetail but will be too wide for the slide (ie, it will overlap slightly). Also, because the Shield has a shorter slide, the front sight picture will appear wider then on a standard M&P; 9/.40 (possibly a moot point simply because you'll be lining the dots up instead of relying on perfect sight picture).With that being said, they *WILL* work. Everything I've seen on the net has said they aim POA/POI quite well on the Shield.PS- If you don't have an installation tool, have it professionally installed! :) Because the Shield has a narrower slide, this Trijicon set will fit the rear dovetail but will be too wide for the slide (ie, it will overlap slightly).

I just read reviews that say it fits. Other reviews that say it fits but is a little taller than the original sight. Hope this helps.

No they will not, talk to meprolight. They have great tech support and will be able to point you in the right direction. They are awesome sights, they work well, look good and glow bright. Hope this helps

Just go to sylvanias sight and use there fitment guide. It is the best out there and has been 100% accurate for me over the years. Hope this helps...

I had a bad experience with truglo tfos on my springfield xds. It shot VERY low (2.5" at only 10') and sights weren't adjustable. I got so fed up I put on Trijicons and threw the TruGlos in a drawer. I love the Trijicons... Spot on to mfr specs, very visible, and so far totally durable. Of course, I've only had them for two months. But love them so far!!

It fits beautifully on an XDs 9mm. I had them professionally installed($30 in my neck of the woods) because it does require a special tool to make sure it is on center. Excellent sights!

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

These are dovetail sights. If you have a front and rear sight then these will work for you. Switching these with the stock ones is tricky, look up you tube videos on dovetail sights and decide if you want to do it, or just have a gunsmith do it, they wont charge much.

I called TruGlo a few weeks ago (because I now have a Shield) and they said yes. They said if it's an older version the rear sight may be a smidge too wide, but it will fit fine. The newer versions have been adjusted a little and will fit both M&P; compacts and Shields perfectly. If you have any concerns TruGlo is very helpful.

They are 1". I've mounted a Burris Fullfield II 4.5-15x42mm scope on my Rem 700. There isn't much space left. They won't work with larger scopes.

I do not own one, so I cannot speak to the size, but measure carefully and pick a cover that fits most snug to your sight. Additionally, some scope manufacturers will list the BC cover model number to purchase for your particular sight. Good luck!

Amazon sells flip up cover by butler creek and come in a wide choice of dia sizes, and styles for both the eye and front, im not currently near my ar or I would of put my calipers on it and gave you a good measurement of each. Ive been thinking about getting a set myself.

Im not sure about that. But I do have them on my shield and they are just a touch big.. and I mean barely over the edge big. I love them and would buy them again in the future. You honestly cant tell they arent made for the shield unless you are tryin to pick out a problem. LOVE THE LOOK!

Sorry I really don't know. I put them on my S&W; M&P; full size pistol and had a gunsmith do the install. They fit well and I like the green dot, they acquire the target in low light very well. Hope this helps out a little.

I ordered these sights for a friend of mine this past Christmas. Before ordering, I contacted TruGlo and received an e-mail stating that they don't make a specific TFO for the Shield. I was told that there is just a slight overhang on each side of the rear sight, and it shouldn't interfere with carrying.It doesn't. The family friend that I purchased the TFOs for couldn't be more satisfied with them, and I think that the fit is nothing to worry about. I wish that I could put these sights on all of my handguns.
