CZ sight question

[cusco19]

on my P01, the sight is very hard to get a good sight picture; especially when i've been practicing to shoot with both eyes open.

here's my two options i'm looking at:

1) get the CZ 75 Tactical Rear Sight Standard Dovetail from CZC.
use SiteGlo or GlowOn to fill into the existing front sight.

2) get the Mepro-Lite nite from CGW and be done with it.

i like option one, cuz the rear is very much like the TS for the sight picture, but night time it won't help me much if my viridian C5L-R battery dies.

option 2, if ever using the P01 as HD gun, then it'll be nice to have the glow in the dark sights. but range day shooting.. not sure if i'll like the sight picture with both eyes open though~

Here is the rear sight I would recommend. I would call CZC to make sure it fits and if they have any recommendations on which Fiber Optic front sight will match it.

Night Sights IMHO are basically worthless. If you can see the green glow from the tritium, chances are that identifying your target will be difficult. If you use a weapon mounted light, it will wash out the sights. I have a few installed since they are better than the stock sights and I got them used for a terrific price. I would not buy them new for any reason.

i don't have a race hammer installed, so would this CZ75 H-TAC Rear Sight get in the way of the stock hammer? it looks to be positioned further back on the slide as compared to the one i was looking at.

I honestly don't know how the fitment will be, that is why I said to call and ask CZ Customs. I sold my P01 years ago because it combines two things I don't care for, aluminum pistol frames and a decocker lever.

Between the various CZC sights and MePro sights, I'd go CZC sights w/o a second thought after using/trying both. Not to mention, CZC has a lot more options.

You might also look at fiber sights. I've installed Hi Viz front and rear on a 75B and a 75 SA. The SP01 comes with the Meprolight and they are better than the stock sights but in normal light they don't show up as well as the fiber sights.

Hi Viz is no longer selling the front and rear sights as a set, you have to purchase them separately.

On my P01 I was shooting high so I ordered the Hi Viz rear sight and then a Dawson Precision front sight. The advantage/disadvantage to the Dawson is that you get to choose the color of the fiber but you install it yourself. Not difficult at all. Also, the size of the fiber is smaller than the Hi Viz which does differentiate it from front/rear which may or may not be useful. To each his own.

The Dawson front sight has been pre-drilled for the cross pin. The Hi Viz front sight needs to be pushed into place and then a drill passed through where the cross pin is installed. It's not a difficult operation but it is required since the cross pin needs to be installed for the front bushing.

The Hi Viz rear sight does not need a hammer change.

A fiber sight will be much better than glow on paint.

On my cz compact I kept the stock rear and went with a .100" wide fiber optic front with the small .040" rod. On the rear sight I dug out the paint in the dots and cold blued the holes. I now have a very good sight picture. With the sights lined up right the fiber dot is pretty much centered in the rear sight.

I decided to put the CZC tactical and fiber optic on my 75 compact. I debated about the night sights, and decide against them.

railroader, does your CZ 75B Compact wear the CGW's 050-390 F/O?

(.095") vs OEM (.125")

Also, can I just pen/cold blue over without digging out the rear sight dots?

CGW states which F/O sights work with the stock rear sights in the product descriptions.

You can do that or you could flip the rear sight around.

I've been looking at those, has anybody (over 50) got the CGW Fiber Optic front with the stock rears? (SP-01 &/or P-01)

My issue is that my up close vision is getting bad enough that I can't get a good focus on my sight anymore.

1.25X readers is enough to correct it, but I've noticed that the F/O on my Buck Mark is much easier to see than the night sights on my SP-01.

From CGW's website:

"050-390 - Correct OEM height F/O front sight. An excellent upgrade that ONLY works with the stock CZ rear sight. Fits SP-01, P-01, PCR, 75, 85, & 97B. Does not fit the RAMI or Shadow.

$39.00


You will be amazed how well this F/O front sight works with the stock OEM rear. The 050-390 is much narrower (.095") versus the stock front OEM sight (.125") which allows for a dramatic increase in light on both sides of the front post. An excellent upgrade for a modest price."

"You can do that or you could flip the rear sight around"

Is the sight dovetailed and/or can be drifted into the slide from either side?

Thanks for the out of the box thinking! Would never have considered that
