Todd, thanks for the feedback. When using Warren Tactical sights, PLEASE remember that they were designed, not by a casual shooter, not by a machinist, not by some businessmen, all of whom are motivated by producing products purely for profit. They were designed by a serious tactician, who does excel in the competitive arena, but whose heart and mind are directed towards keeping those who work in the real world and on the job alive and well. At a true tactical or defense time, when you have to conduct that one handed slide manipulation drill, you will come to love those sharp edges, knowing that they will not fail you as you cycle the slide with your only one good hand. Then you will be able to deliver those well placed rounds into your attacker(s). Further and just as important, remember those sharp edges were not designed for the fashion minded.
Over the past few years, I've also ripped up and punctured some concealment garments practicing those same drills because of the Warren sights. But the reality is, better to rip up a golf shirt than discover during a Bad Time that you can't rack the slide one-handed (which is a definite problem with the current stock M&P sights). For myself, I'm just going to use a Wilderness belt and throw-away concealment shirt for classes like these in the future. I'd rather ruin some dedicated training gear than walk around with equipment that won't actually do what I need it to do under worst case scenarios. YMMV.
