The drop-in, no dovetail front sight version is here.
They are now available for purchase/install.
Must say that they did a great job and fast turn around.
What do you guys think??

Looks very nice to me. Guess there must be a lot of CM/CW Kahrs and demand out there for them to make a front sight screw in.
I've always been interested but have not yet tried those sights on any of my pistols. Would you share what you paid for the sights and the installation? You say fast turn around, ow long was your slide gone? Have you shot with the new sights to see if point of aim is still on?
Thanks...

Very nice. These old eyes are looking forward to a set on my CM9.

Looks good, can you take a pic of the underside of the front sight for us? Thanks

Am I understanding you sent your side to XS for the install, or did you send it to someone else? Good looking install I will be doing this to my CW40.

Sent my slide to XS and had them do the install for me. Figured it would be easier to have them do the install and get it right the first time then for me to futz with it and run into any install issues.
These run $120 plus install. Took about a week door to door.
I have XS sights on my Ruger LCR and love em.

These are not on the website yet.
If you want these, just call them order. Part number in my pic above.

Turns out that XS is local to me about 20min from the house. I'll have to call on Monday...

I have XS's on almost everything I own.....till recently when I discovered Trijicon HD sights; they have become my new favorite. Only problem is they have limited applications. I put the orange ones on my 40 Shield.:59:

Jeepster: The HD's caught my attention but they tell me they are not yet out for the Shield. Are you using the standard M&P sights and did they go on easily without overhang on the rear of the slide?
Ameriglo has some out soon that are similar to the HD's

M&P model sights work fine for me, just a little overhang.

That grip sleeve must make the Shield almost as thick as the M&P.

MDH65: Do you notice any difference in accuracy with the XS sights? Thanks.

Sent this info to my gunsmith working on my CM9 and he was very excited and should have sights on Sunday. Thank you for the post. Saved me the dovetail cut.
