Trijicon HD Night Sights Smith Wesson MP Superior 3 Dot Set

Description

The Trijicon HD Night Sights Smith Wesson MP set is the standard height HD configuration for the Smith and Wesson M&P family, with an orange ringed green tritium front blade and a blacked out rear. It fits the M&P, the M2.0, the SD9 VE and the SD40 VE, excluding the Shield and the C.O.R.E. series.

Three Trijicon Options For An M&P, And How To Pick

Trijicon makes three different sight sets that fit this pistol, and shooters routinely order the wrong one. The Bright and Tough set is a conventional three white dot arrangement at factory height. The suppressor height set uses taller blades to clear a can or co witness with a red dot. This is the third option.

The Trijicon HD Night Sights Smith Wesson MP set sits at factory height like the Bright and Tough, but replaces the three white dot picture with a single orange front ring and a blacked out rear. If your pistol wears irons only and you want the fastest front sight pickup available, this is the set to buy.

Why The Rear Blade Is Blacked Out

Three white dot sights ask the eye to align three equally bright objects. Under time pressure the eye tends to settle on whichever is closest and brightest, which is usually a rear dot, and the front blade goes unwatched. That is a training problem that a design change can largely remove.

The rear blade here carries tritium lamps for darkness but no bright ring for daylight. In good light there is only one thing to look at, and it is the orange ring up front. Shooters who switch to the Trijicon HD Night Sights Smith Wesson MP layout commonly report finding the front sight faster without changing anything about how they train.

Notch And Blade Geometry

The rear notch is a U shape one hundred and sixty nine thousandths of an inch across, with a front blade one hundred and forty four thousandths wide. That leaves twenty five thousandths of daylight in total and a rounded notch base that guides the front blade into alignment rather than fighting it.

Overall front blade height is two hundred and eighty two thousandths of an inch with the rear at three hundred and eighty two. Those are factory heights, so the Trijicon HD Night Sights Smith Wesson MP set will not clear a suppressor and will not show inside a slide mounted red dot. Buy the suppressor height version if you run either.

Why Shooters Choose The Trijicon HD Night Sights Smith Wesson MP Set

• Orange photoluminescent front ring for fast daylight pickup
• Blacked out rear so nothing competes with the front blade
• Wide U-notch with a curved base for quick alignment
• Hooked rear blade for one handed slide manipulation
• Green tritium front and rear with no batteries to change
• Factory height, so holster fit is unchanged

Tritium Construction And The Rack Hook

Each lamp is sealed inside an aluminium cylinder, cushioned in silicone rubber to absorb recoil, and capped with a sapphire jewel that spreads the glow evenly and shields the lamp from bore solvent and from a slipped punch. Tritium is self powered and needs no light to prime it.

The front face of the rear blade is steeply hooked, giving you a shelf to catch on a belt, a holster mouth or a table edge so the slide can be cycled one handed. Brightness fades slowly across roughly a decade, so the Trijicon HD Night Sights Smith Wesson MP set will outlast most of the rounds the pistol will ever fire.

The SD9 VE And SD40 VE Are Included

That is worth calling out because sight options for the SD series are thin. Smith and Wesson positioned those pistols at a budget price point and the aftermarket largely followed the M&P instead. A set of proper tritium sights is one of the few upgrades that meaningfully changes how an SD shoots.

The exclusions are the Shield and the C.O.R.E. models. Both use different arrangements, and a blade cut for the wrong dovetail will not seat correctly. Check the pistol rather than the model name before ordering the Trijicon HD Night Sights Smith Wesson MP set, particularly if it has already been to a gunsmith.

Installation And Ordering

Both blades are dovetail fits and want a proper sight pusher. If you do not own the tools, a gunsmith will fit the Trijicon HD Night Sights Smith Wesson MP set in minutes for less than the cost of refinishing a marked slide. Sights are not returnable once installed, so settle the height question and the front colour first.

Ordering The Trijicon HD Night Sights Smith Wesson MP Set

The Trijicon HD Night Sights Smith Wesson MP set ships as a matched front and rear pair under one part number, so nothing else needs to go in the basket alongside it. Decide between factory height and suppressor height first, then between the orange and the yellow front ring, because neither choice can be revisited once the blades are pressed into the dovetails.
