Sight numbers/night sights
« on: April 03, 2019, 04:51:10 PM »
So I?ve decided to put night sights on my 83 but i?m Unsure of which set to get from the CZ USA website due to the different numbered rear sights. Anyone know which set fits or what number the stock rear sight is? Thanks

     Hiya and thx for your thread 007. Think I recall you recently traded a sweet revolver for your cz83 and glad to hear you are liking it enough to take on the night sight project. I kept it as a backup to shotgun and 9mm,but after a little trigger tuning, a treat to shoot,most reliable. I love projects but where it sat in the batting order,left it as a get off me gun at best.So what about the factory set up lead you to have to entertain the thought? Any eyesight issues? See anything in the forums old posts that tripped your trigger?   Well ya might give Cajun gun works a call as I believe they may have a dawson precision tritium that may work, and can holler at czc as I believe they still carry the trijicon product line. My experiment of trying a trijicon front on a p-02 failed and I had to have em swap back the factory blade, and had another smith machine a groove across the top of it,and functioned perfect as a night'low light level sight. And hope you haven't ruled out fiber optic tech that is on the market today. Those places can also estimate the cost of instal as well, my guess some milling to the rear sight would be needed. And since the cost of a sight pusher is more than the sight, rules out being a good do it yourself project. Let us know how the process is progressing. With pics if ya don't mind. Be well.

Thanks for the reply. I?m on disability now but my career was in law enforcement. I guess i just got used to having night sights on my handguns. Plus the front sight has lost whatever the ramp was painted with so it doesn?t offer much in the way of a sight picture. I guess I?m going to contact CZ USA and see which one they suggest. I?ll let you know what they say

Cz82 takes CZ75 sights.

     Hiya and thx for the thread. Well we haven't heard back from ya 007 so hope ya sorted it out. I didn't much shoot my cz83 out more than 7yds and my eyes are almost 60 with lil burryness in one eye. Id think trying some florescent green on the front blade could offer the relief,if not add florescent red to the rear. Either a testors or fingernail polish. Be well.

I haven?t gotten around to changing them yet. Getting ready to purchase a new firearm and been putting a lot of thought into what I what. I?m still going to change them though. From what i can tell if I buy the front and rear sights as a pair I shouldn?t need to worry about the height numbers on the rear.

As already stated, the CZ75 sights fit the CZ82.  I ordered mine from Amazon.  I bought night sights, and fiber.  The fiber are brighter.
