AmeriGlo SW245 i-Dot Night Sights Smith & Wesson M&P Shield

The AmeriGlo SW245 i-Dot sight set transforms target acquisition on the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield with its distinctive orange outline front sight and green tritium rear configuration. This sight system addresses the common challenge of quick sight alignment in varying light conditions through its contrasting color scheme and self-illuminating tritium inserts.

What Makes This Different

The i-Dot configuration eliminates the traditional three-dot confusion by using a single front sight with orange outline paired with a plain rear notch containing green tritium. This design speeds up sight alignment compared to standard three-dot systems where shooters often struggle to distinguish front from rear dots in stress situations. The contrasting orange and green colors provide immediate visual reference points that work across different lighting scenarios.

Key Features

• Green tritium front sight with bright orange outline for rapid target acquisition
• Green tritium rear sight with plain notch design eliminates dot confusion
• Swiss tritium vials provide 12-year guaranteed illumination
• Machined steel construction with nitride finish resists corrosion
• Factory height specifications maintain proper point of impact
• Snag-resistant profile designed for concealed carry applications
• Direct replacement for factory M&P Shield sights using standard tools

Field performance shows faster sight alignment times compared to traditional three-dot configurations, particularly beneficial for defensive shooting scenarios. The orange outline remains visible in bright sunlight while the tritium maintains visibility in low-light conditions without requiring batteries or external light sources. Competition shooters report improved split times when transitioning between multiple targets due to the simplified sight picture.
