Tritium front sight for Kadet?
« on: March 05, 2018, 03:02:32 PM »
Love my Kadet kit on my SPO1 Shadow, but I use it exclusively for training at an indoor range and it?s a bit difficult to see the sights.  I understand there are two fiber optic options for replacing the front sight (one from Dawson -- https://dawsonprecision.com/cz-kadet-22-fiber-optic-front-sights/ and one from CZ Custom -- https://czcustom.com/cz-parts-all/front-and-rear-sights/front-sight/cz-fiber-optic-front-sight-1-0-x-6-5mm-3-1mm-blade.html ), but are there any options for a tritium front sight that would work?  My range is so dark that I have a hard time seeing even the fiber optic sights on my 9mm Shadow.  I was wondering if this 6.5 mm tritium front sight from CZC would work on the Kadet -- https://czcustom.com/cz-parts-all/front-and-rear-sights/front-sight/tritium-front-sights/cz-tritium-front-sight-6-5mm.html ?

Any of those should work on the Kadet.  Just determine what height you want.  Factory front should be 5.5mm tall.

I believe the Kadet front sight is taller than a 75. I think 6.5 is correct.
I had the right to remain silent...

but not the ability.

Angus confirms that 6.5 is the correct height for Kadet front sight.

I am in the same boat, I would like to replace my front sight.For some reason from using it for all these years
there is very little color to it. worn off I guess. I was curious what the height of the sight was.Thanks for answering my question
before I had to ask it :)
