Ameriglo Pro i-dot fail

When the Gunmonkey traded off his Glock 26 for an M&P Shield 9, he started searching for a set of night sights. After looking all over he decided to go with the Ameriglo pro i-dot.
During the installation, he beat the holy shit out of the rear sight dovetail portion. It was so mangled, he decided it would just be better off to go with the original rear and just rock the high visibility front sight. 
 Seriously smashed to the point it would not go into the slot. Damage caused by striking with a BRASS hammer.


   The sight mated right up and provides a great high speed sight picture. Just find the bright orange dot and "BANG!".


   Today, after a range trip to requalify, he noticed the orange insert was walking out. That's two strikes. First the metal proved so soft that a brass hammer mangled it and then the insert starts to fall out. He did call and leave a message, giving them the opportunity to make it right. 

                 This aint right!


G. Monkey is a certified M&P Armorer, so despite his redneck tendencies, he does kinda know what he is doing. We'll let you know how the customer service thing works out.
