Frequently Asked Questions
Will these sights fit all versions of the S&W M&P Shield?
The TruGlo TFX Pro TG13MP1PC is specifically designed to fit the standard Smith & Wesson M&P Shield chambered in 9mm and .40 S&W. If you own the Shield Plus or Shield EZ, it is important to verify compatibility before purchasing, as those models may require a different sight model. Always confirm your exact pistol variant and dovetail dimensions when ordering replacement sights.
How long does the tritium illumination last on TFX Pro sights?
Tritium is a radioactive isotope that naturally decays over time. TruGlo TFX Pro sights are rated for approximately 12 years of effective tritium brightness. After that period, the fiber optic element continues to function fully in daylight and indoor lighting — only the low-light tritium glow gradually dims. Most shooters find the sights remain functionally useful well beyond the rated lifespan.
Do I need a gunsmith to install these sights on my Shield?
Installation typically requires a sight pusher tool or a bench vise to press the rear sight into the dovetail — standard punches and a hammer can work but risk damaging the sight or slide finish. While experienced DIY gunsmiths can install them at home with the right tools, having a qualified gunsmith perform the installation is recommended to ensure proper fit, zero, and protection of your firearm's finish.
