It takes skill to bend a Warren Tactical front sight on an M&P...

[TGO David]

And I've either got mad skill or I've got the worst damn luck.

I installed some Warren Tactical night sights on my M&P 40 a while back. I know for a fact that they were perfectly straight when I installed them, but somewhere along the line the gun took a lick and now the front sight post is canted to the left. I noticed that I was printing my shots today low and to the right even at close distances. When I got home, I started trying the different grip backstraps on it to see if I was gripping the gun weird.

Then I noticed the sight. Handed it to my wife and asked her if the front sight seemed odd to her. Immediate reply "It's bent."

Yayyyyyy.

Dude, you're not supposed to use it as a hammer.

[TGO David]

No, but a hammer and a steel punch got it straightened up enough to get me by for the next few days. I'm thinking about ordering a set of XS Big Dot sights for it now as a replacement just to see how I like them.

My brother say's you were staring at it too hard.

I had the big dot...and now only use it on my primary carry gun. They are nice sights. I use the standard tritium dot for IDPA though...the big dot will cover up a pepper popper and the standard is still fairly big enough to get a great sight picture:D

Also...if you don't want the tritium...give'em a call...they may just have the white dot...they did for my XD.

David, I'm wearing a black T shirt and khaki cargo pants tommorrow if you want to copy me on that too. You got it mixed up though. You were supposed to get the big dots for your G21. BTW, I should have my new sights in hand by Monday PM if we can get together so you can help me put them on.

If I had been able to find some Big Dots locally for the M&P on short notice tonight, I'd have had them on the gun. I want to borrow Todd's G19 with the Big Dots tomorrow and see if I really like them or if I'm just building it up in my mind. The Warren sights normally work great for me... but they normally aren't bent either.

It's going to be too cold in the morning for me to wear cargo shorts, so if you can change that to cargo pants, we might be able to pull off this twins thing.

Where did you get cargo shorts? Reread my post and put the crack pipe away this time. No, I know it's been a long day for you. Have fun killing more targets tommorrow.

Sorry... somehow I saw "thong" in that post as well.

Give me a shout on Monday. We'll get the sights taken care of.

Getting ready to head over to Camden?

That was low. Not down in a ditch low, but low.
