Title: Adjustable Rear Sights for CZ 75B Limited Edition THAT DOESNT REQUIRE MACHINING?
Post by: NASTY1 on March 26, 2012, 11:45:00 PM

Hi guys,

Greetings from Down Under!
 
I wasnt sure which section of the forum to post this inquiry hence I posted on two sections (hope thats ok).

I'm a relatively new shooter and I own a CZ 75B Limited Edition (or Special Edition as its also known as).  I'm hoping you can assist me with a small dilemma I have.

Can anyone recommend any adjustable sights for this gun that doesn't require milling or machining of the slide? I purchased the LPA sight 0420-0621-02ND from cz-customs as I was advised that this was the correct one for this gun. However after taking it to a gunsmith to install, he advised me that it was impossible to fit this on properly without machining the rear of the slide to allow proper up and down adjustment.  He said the issue is the little raised area behind the dovetail groove. I was very disappointed as I'm not too keen on getting the firearm machined, hence I'm wondering if you are familiar with and can advise any adjustable sights for this gun that wont require machining. Would I also need to change the front sight as well?  I tried to attach pics of the gun but couldn't work out how to do it properly. Any-ways, its just a standard limited edition model.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.

LPA TPU line.  I put these on mine a week or so ago.  Work fine with stock height front sight.  Bought direct from PSI.

Thanks Joe,

That looks perfect. Do you have a model name or number by any chance?...I bought what I was told as being the TPU type but it looks totally different to yours. See below.

Did you look into these by any chance before purchasing the TPU ones?

Nope.  I had the TPU on my SIG P226 first and liked it.  Fits the CZ even better.  No problems in a year of shooting.  Not a good carry sight with the overhang but perfect for range and IDPA monthly matches.
