Will this sight combo work on my CZ 75?
« on: April 23, 2020, 01:03:16 PM »
Recently bought a CZ 75B SA (it came with an old Kadet kit too!) and absolutely love it - but I'm not a huge fan of the stock sights. My favorite sights are Ameriglo Protectors (matte black rear, bright green dot up front) so I went to order a set for my CZ...lo and behold, Ameriglo doesn't make sights for the CZ 75. :(

So I've been trying to figure out which sights I can get that can match that sight picture as much as possible, and think this may work:

- CZ Custom short tactical rear sight
- CZ Custom gold tritium dot front sight, 5.5mm height

My concern is that the front sight might be too thick for the 0.125" wide notch in the rear sight. How can I make sure it'll work before ordering? (I'd measure the Ameriglo sights I already have, but...sold those guns to fund this CZ. Oops.) I tried using the sight calculator on Dawson's website, but just ended up confusing myself. The ammo I typically use is 124-grain NATO-spec Winchester, but sometimes shoot whatever cheap 115gr ammo is on sale.

If it turns out the front sight I want is too wide, are there any other good options I could go with? I really don't want a fiber optic front sight, I'm not a fan. Thanks for the help!

Have you thought about
- TRITIUM PRO NIGHT SIGHTS
or
- MEPROLIGHT NIGHT SIGHTS

Or you want rear tactical black and find front only?

I'd like a solid black rear and a bright dot up front, so I haven't really considered the Truglo or Meprolight options. I do like the Truglos, so they may be a good backup option even though I'm not a huge fan of tritium rear sights.

I am running a similar CZC sight setup on my SP-01 Tac. There is light on each side of the front sight when the pistol is held in a shooting stance. The front sight is tight in the rear notch but there is some clearance.

Do you have any photos of that setup? I'd love to see it. :)

Here is a post that i made on the installation of the sights some time ago. It has some pics.

Great post, thanks! I'll definitely have to get a decent file before trying to install my sights.

Well, I decided to go out on a limb and try something different this time, so I ordered a set of Truglo Tritium Pro sights (the orange dot version). I got a notification saying it might take up to two weeks to ship them, but in the meantime I'll read up on sight installation and make sure I have all correct punches and files to do the job right. :)

Got the sights in last week and installed them the other day, finally got a chance to shoot the gun again this afternoon. :) While I still prefer the Ameriglo Protectors (the front dot on those is way brighter, at least to me!), I do like the sight picture I get with these Truglos and I think they actually look really good on the CZ 75:

Yeah, I've heard the same about Ameriglo... unfortunately these are not for us  ???
Handgun looks nice. I like the mag release button on proper side  ;D

Only problem with flipping the mag release to the proper side is that now I have to file new holes on the other side of my Kadet mags.  ;D
