Title: TruGlo TFX on Compact 75D
Post by: DXT_Shooter on May 21, 2016, 03:51:36 PM
Got the sights installed today haven't shot it yet but way better than the stock sights at least I can see these. Hopefully they are as accurate as factory sights.

Nice! I have a pair of the TFX pros coming in for my p01 tomorrow - very excited to ditch the factory sights. Btw, what grips are those?

They are the CZ Custom shop textured aluminum grips very aggressive but I like the feel of them. I also have the aluminum ones with the skateboard tape but I don't like them as much and will probably sell them.

Is the front sight pre drilled on these?
Title: Re: TruGlo TFX on Compact 75D
Post by: Obiwan on May 29, 2016, 10:46:32 PM
Yes, the front sight has already a groove for installation. No drilling necessary.

So, with that, and pardon my ignorance, these then do not require a gunsmith for proper install?  It would seem not...

What other sights might one consider, comparable to these?

You should be able to install yourself...I didn't have the tools so I brought mine to local gunsmith took him about 5 minutes.

Ditto that.

Thank you both for your input.

With respect to tools, I imagine a padded vice... Punches, front and / or rear?

No, I don't have my PCR yet.  This Wed...

With tritium sights, I've always avoided punches for fear of breaking the vial(s). I used to have a local gun shop that would install them for $15-20 so that's what I always did. Brought in a gun one day and they decided it was now $75 to install sights (direct swap mind you, no milling) so I figured that was the sign to buy a sight pusher. There are several options available on Ebay for pretty reasonable prices now, so if your local shop wants a lot of money to install them, I'd go that route.

TLDR: if the sight has tritium vials, a pusher is the safer option.

Joe, that makes sense alright.  I can appreciate the precaution.  I've been trying to find videos.  This one is a fiber front sight though...

Even if inexpensive to have a local shop do it for me, I'd prefer doing it myself, for educational purposes.  I say that while in the garage, with a car I need to re-assemble...  I hope to get that level of familiarity with the CZ, eventually.

So, I'll be looking for a "pusher".  Thanks much for your help.

They shoot low so I will have to get use to them. My eyesight is horrible which doesn't help.

was afraid of that, seeing as they are for the full size gun. Thanks for the feed back.

I had these on my short list of sights, and was wondering the same...  Thank you.

The CZ Custom ones have not been in stock...

I think I made a costly mistake buying these sights. My POI is way to low at 30 feet.
TruGlow does not recommend these sights for the PCR. I think the rear sight is to high causing POA to be way different then POI.

Sounds like you spoke with or communicated with TruGlow.  Thanks for sharing.  And, welcome to the forum!

So, as a relative newbie myself, what are the comparable sight options for the PCR, and related compacts?
