I sent Dawson Precision an email requesting info about which of their sights would work best on the M&P .22. I would like to match the .22 to my 9L. This is the reply I got:

 

We have someone sending a M&P .22 slide in for a sight. As soon as we get it and design the sight, it should be available on our website.

 

Please check back with us in a week or two.

That's good to know, i've been thinking of getting one of these, just need to get some permits.

You won't regret it, I know I certainly don't.

 

The sights on the M&P 22 are adjustable, so if all you want to do it match the POA/POI you can just adjust them. Though the rear sight is just black whereas the centerfire M&P have three dot.

 

Also, IIRC, the dovetails (front and rear) are the same as on the centerfire M&P.

Dawson is showing FO sights available for the M&P22 now. Link for the front sight, http://www.dawsonprecision.com/CategoryProductList.jsp?cat=SIGHTS+FRONT:Smith+and+Wesson+MP+.22+Front+Sights

I'll bookmark that just in case. I ordered one of their other M&P FO sights and put it in with green loc-tite. So far, no problems.

The folks on some other boards think the dovetail is the same between rimfire and centerfire. I know with my dawson I had to file it to get it to fit my .40, so worst case you'll probably have to do the same.

It is the same size. The main difference is that the 22 slide is not stainless steel If you try to force the sight in, you could ruin your slide. I did have to file the sight slightly and then it slid right in. Green LocTite is a gap filler, not a thread locker and seems to be doing a great job. I have about 1000 rounds through it since putting the Dawson sight on and all is well at this time.
