Shadow 2 Adjustable Rear Sight / Width of Factory Sights
« on: October 06, 2018, 11:02:53 PM »
Does anyone know the width of the of the notch in the factory rear sight on the Shadow 2?  I'm looking for an adjustable rear sight with a narrower cutout - something like this ..

I measure 0.121"  I pair it with a 0.095" wide front sight.

Thanks for the info Mo...  That sucks, the CZ replacement sight looks to have to same width as the original.  If anyone knows of an adjustable rear sight with a narrower notch, please post some info.  Thanks.

In case this means anything, the measurements I gave above are a factory Shadow 2 rear and a Dawson replacement front, which is a little narrower than the factory Shadow 2 front.  You can also get different thicknesses of front sights from Dawsons if you want it to take up more space in the rear notch, if that's your concern.  I personally wanted a bit more space on both sides.

Mo, you gave me the info I was looking for, but that's actually a good suggestion.  I want to cut down on the left and right space around the front sight and a larger front sight might be an option.
