Which location is the right one to use center punch? I peen the bottom of the sight, but I feel like this maybe the wrong location because the sight won't sit on top of the slide.  Shall I peen at location #1 front and back?

The #2 position if anything. You may be just fine with screwing it down in place. Then go shoot it. If he stays put I'd leave it that way first . Put a few 100 round through it  If it continues to stay put . Take it out and you'll see where the screw made a slight indentation . Put a dimple there if you'd like, But more importantly put locktite in the hole and in the dovetail . Tighten down that screw and you're done.

We have a tendency to forgot what we did ,when not doing it daily. Or for a living. After looking at yours I remember that's what I did with mine.ALl that dimpling isn't needed. But if you decided you want to : #2

Also Your original rear like everything else on the Sphinx is a bear to get out . Maintain Left to Right out .

After refreshing my Memory looking at yours . I didn't even bother dimpling . I have yet to have any issues

Sorry I keep doing that don't I? I meant right to left. If you could get access to a sight pusher use it. The rear sight probably won't survive removal. At least not cosmetically . Not on a SHpinx

here is my test on original sight. The bottom group is shot with I aim at center of the front sight dot. The top group is shot with aiming at the bottom of the front sight dot.  It looks like I need to start my sight replacement now .

I just installed the front ZRT sight and rear 10-8 sight. I am surprised that the rear sight has no gap like other people posted previously.

You have a gap. It's not that others had a different gap. It's that they complained :) Mine looks just as yours does Glad it worked out

I don't see any for the Sphinx on that page.  The way you said it is making me wonder if Novak sites are universal and i can use any of them as long as i go through the trouble of finding the correct height front sight. is that the case?


Shooting low seems common with this pistol. Mine hit low as well. 2~3" with the 115 gr bullet and almost on target with the 147 gr bullet at 10yards.

I recall someone was recommending one of these Novak low mount sights but removing the rear sight sounded light a PITA.

Anyone using Meprolights from Peppers? They have all green and orange rear with green front. $79 for the set.

Looks like all green is all they have left...

Can someone measure the width of the ZRTS Fiber front sight? I didn't see it listed anywhere.

They shoot really low. The front sight is even taller than factory and the rear is approximately the same height as the factory.
