Default Possible to create new cuts in slide to mount Truglo sights?

My vision isn't stellar. I have a CZ SP-01 with Truglo TFX fiber optic and tritium sights. I can see these sights clearly and I'm very happy with them. I also have a CZ Rami. Truglo sights are not available for the Rami. On the Rami, I used the original sights, then upgraded to XS Big Dot sights, then swapped those for CZ Trijicon Tritium sights. I could see the Big Dot sights, but they didn't work for me. None of these sights work all that well for me. The only time I see a good sight picture is in full daylight with the sun shining over my shoulder directly onto the sights.

Why did CZ make the sight cuts different on the Rami? It's so frustrating. Is there a way for a gunsmith to alter the sight cuts or make new cuts on the Rami so that the CZ 75 Truglo TFX sights will fit?

Modify the sights to fit the slide, not the slide to fit the sights...

Oh? Can you suggest a gunsmith who could modify the Truglo TFX sights for me to fit the Rami?

"always modify the cheaper part" is the mantra of the WECSOG but it's usually more trouble to hold the sight and mill it than it is to hold the slide and mill it.
If the sight does not have flat surfaces to clamp to, it can move while milling and that will possibly trash the sight.
I bet that most gunsmiths will prefer to mill the slide because the likelihood of success is much higher.
It really depends on how much room there is in the sldie though.
I don't have experience with the particular slide you are asking about to know how much room there is to cut for a more standard sight into it.

I found a gunsmith who is willing to take a look at the Truglo sights on my SP-01 to see if he might be able to fit them to my Rami. If so, I'll buy another set of Truglo for the SP-01. Hopefully this will work!
