Overview

The Dawson Precision Fiber Optic Front Sight is the front blade competition M&P shooters reach for when they want the fastest possible daylight front-sight pickup. The optic is counterbored and fully cradled in the blade, which focuses the light into a bright, crisp dot rather than the hazy glow cheaper fiber sights produce, and the cradle protects the rod for a longer service life. Dark serrations across the blade face blacken the background so the dot stands out.

Dawson ships it as a front sight only, with both red and green fiber rods so you can match the dot to your eyes and lighting. It is offered in a wide range of heights, from .125 inch to .585 inch in Patridge serrated and ramped serrated styles, which is the point of the Dawson system: you select the exact front height that zeros your specific M&P and load, backed by Dawson's Perfect Impact promise. Tools, hardware, and instructions are included. It fits the standard Smith & Wesson M&P dovetail, including the M&P M2.0, but does not fit the M&P22 or the M&P Shield.

Pros

  • +Counterbored cradled optic gives a bright, sharp daylight dot
  • +Red and green fiber rods both included
  • +Height range from .125 to .585 inch dials an exact zero
  • +Pairs with a blacked-out rear for a competition front-sight focus

Cons

  • Front sight only; the matched rear or sight set is sold separately
  • No tritium, so it gives up low-light performance
  • Fiber rod is more fragile than a solid steel blade
  • Does not fit the M&P22 or M&P Shield
