Do the PT ones have the white inserts to help with day time sight allignment?

I didn't see any with white inserts, but there are white outlined models. There are 5 color options total, and each of those 5 come in each of the 9 styles. I've been looking for a good pair of sights (non-adjustable <ahem>), and think I'm going to go with the 2 Dot Bar in yellow/green/yellow for my 25th Anniversary 75B.

Oh, I was off a bit with the price. They are $89 + $12 shipping.

From the reading I've done, these seem like the best company for high-quality CZ sights. I just wish Truglo made their Sure Sight for CZs... they are sweet!

PT sights have a very checkered history.  A number of us have had problems with PT sights, and they are NOT as durable as some of the other sights.

The company has changed management and ownership several times and, perhaps, they've finally gotten their act together.  

Meprolights and Trijicons are the best.  If I had to pick betwee Meps or Trijs in non-adjustable format, and an adjustable PT -- even if I wanted adjustable night sights -- I'd still go with Meps/Trijs.

I thought with so many L.E. contracts, they must have had something good going. Are there any other makers of CZ sights (night or non-night)?

Most police guns I've seen come with factory-installed night sights, when they have night sights.  That's certainly true of the S&W and SIGs I've been around.

(My S&W 4043 has bright factory night sights, and its several years old.)

I've got PTs on one of my guns, and they're doing fine.  But I've had one pair fail quickly, and several friends have sworn off the brand completely.  (Their problems were a few years ago, and PT latter acknowledge a bad supplier, and replaced many bad sights under warranty.)

Sometimes a lower price means comparable quality at a savings.  Sometimes a lower price means you got what you paid for.

Whatever you do, get something with white surrounds around the tritium vial.  Without that, the sights are only marginally effective in daylight.
