TAM, I've put TruGlo TFOs on both of my M&Ps (45 and 9mm) and highly recommend them (at least the front sight). It's bright green day or night. The rear sights I don't like as much because they are equally as large and bright (even got mine with yellow rear sights and still too similar to front sights). If TruGlo ever decides to sell just the TFO front sight that would be perfect coupled with a plain rear sight or one like a Dawson Precision "charger" with much smaller tritium lamps.

I think when all factors are considered, the M&P45 is the best polymer .45 to come out yet (and possibly The Best .45, or at least the best non-JMB-designed .45 so as not to offend the 1911 fanatics). It's way cheaper than an H&K or Sig. The grip angle, size, and overall ergonomics are way better than a Glock (and I'm a Glock fanboy) or any other double-stack .45 ACP. I personally shoot the full-size M&P45 as well as or better than a quality 1911. But again - I've got 13+ years of Glock shooting ingrained in my subconscious, so that's a factor.

Another vote for M&P45. Add the Apex Tactical action parts too.
