At one time, night sights and fiber-optics were only add-on features. They are still available as aftermarket options. However, more and more, pistols are coming out with upgraded sights<\/a> right out of the box. Sometimes they are offered in several variations with different sighting options, such as the Smith and Wesson M&P Shield or 340PD. This is fortunate for the consumer, as we can save money \u2014 and time \u2014 getting the firearm<\/a> exactly as we want it from the factory.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Aside from the general, budget, three-dot-painted sights, the two main sighting options you\u2019ll see are night sights and fiber-optics. Brass or gold beads, and blacked-out posts are also out there, but they are more common among serious target shooters. Much of what is manufactured and marketed today is geared toward self-defense, and that is what we\u2019ll focus on for now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
