I have this on three of my guns. It is very bright in light. Not visible in the dark, but that is not what is was trying to do. I love it for what it is. I had it installed by a gunsmith.

Good colorful bright sight. Replaced the stock sight perfectly. Tough job on a S&W MP9 Shield Plus. The old sights are VERY difficult to get out. Gunsmith recommended.

Fit very well with just some minor filing. Really like the looks, merchantability of inserts. My S&W M&P 40 is much easier and quicker to get on target.

Had one of these before and really liked it. Was looking for a shorter sight for Hudson H9 and since it uses the same front sights as the M&P decided to get another. Nice big dot allows for easy pick up in light and medium light. Most Fiber optic sights use thin narrow fiber rods which is actually better for precision shooting. But I like the way my eye naturally draws to the bigger fiber rod. Also the bigger the dot the easier it is to pick up naturally. Changing the front sight is really easy on this sight because they give you a red and a white replacement rod a carrier so you don’t lose the rod and a built in tool to change the rods in the carrier. When I purchased mine I believe it was 25 bucks or so. Most aftermarket front sights are gonna run you 50 bucks after shipping. Some more than that before shipping. This is a lower height than what my gun had on it from the factory so it should alleviate my shooting low issue as well. I have pistol sights from HIVIZ. A shotgun sight from HIVIZ. Gotta say when it comes to being able to see your sight HIVIZ defiantly lives up to the name.

Awesome sight! I had installed on my m&p 2.0 compact in probably less than 10 minutes. Fit perfect and required no fitting on my part. I can't guarantee that you will have the same luck as this is the first time I didn't have to file anything down.I really don't get all the negative reviews. If you install them properly you won't damage the sight. You can't bang on the part that holds the fiber optic. I literally used a C clamp to hold the slide firmly against my work bench and grabbed a punch and tapped it in.. Carefully! I just used a regular punch, although it will make mar the black finish on the sight. Not a big deal to me.. Little touch up flat black and you would have to look really hard to tell. If that would bother you.. Invest in some brass punches. I do have them, but it's much quicker with a regular punch so that's how it went down.Further note, these are not night sights! However, they really pop in regular outdoor light and will be a huge improvement over that factory white dot. I have installed Hi Viz on just about every gun I've bought. I usually buy a set of rear sights to go with, but decided to just black out the factory white dots with this gun. $25 after tax... I'm a happy man.

This is a great sight, I like the ability to change the light tube colors. I would recommend that anyone buying it should watch the HIVIZ installation video for their particular style of sight. This will help you determine if you have the skill level to install it or have it done professionally. I installed my own and had a lot of difficulty removing my old sight, because it is a very tight fit and I had to do some sanding on the bottom of the HIVIZ sight base to get a perfect fit. The SW2014 has a tapered side that goes in first just like the original sight so the sights can only be removed and installed in one direction, to do otherwise will result in damage to the sight.

They fit perfectly, just be sure and follow the instructions for installation from the HiVIz website as it is the correct way to install it. I changed out the light tube to red and it stands out extremely well. I did not change the rear sight although I bought the HiViz rearfor the M&P fullsize and still have the white dot rears. It is a good contrast and I hit the targets fine. My pistol still shoots a bit low, so I'm looking for an adjustable sight to make the point of impact the same point of aim. I have reviewed videos of myself shooting USPSA and Steel Challenge matches and I'm not dipping the pistol at all, so I can correct this. If you are looking for something to make your front sight stand out, this is the way to go. Other brands tube are too small and don't even think about night sights unless you REALLY need them for home defense.

I have a red fiber optic front sight on every pistol I carry. This one was easy to install and has held up well for a long time, and believe it will continue to do so. I've had no issue with the light pipe breaking or coming out; it's very well protected, but enough exposed to capture a lot of light. The only pro tip I can offer for these bombproof sights is to occasionally use a shirt or Q tip to remove dust from the light pipe for maximum light collection. For someone with bad eyes, I need this sight on my guns. It did come with other colors, but I'm just used to red for everything. This should work for any competitive or daily use need. Highly recommended.
