PCR rear sight options?
« on: February 20, 2021, 05:18:08 PM »
I have a PCR with CZC’s Trijicon® Tritium Rear Sight Tactical 1 DOT &  Trijicon® Tritium Front Sight GOLD Outline . As I age, I’m finding I need something bolder for my front sight and a plain / serrated rear sight.

I recently put CZC’s TRUGLO front sight on my 75b stainless and am impressed.  I’d like to do the same with my PCR, but it appears most rear sights available (that cover the PCRs shelf ) don’t have a notch deep  or wide enough for this specific front sight.

I like the aesthetics where the rear sights cover the shelf, other 75/P01 rear sights on the PCR just look awkward

I looked at Dawson Precision with no luck- rear sights are too shallow/ narrow & don’t really want a FO set up.

Any suggestions?

Have you considered having it milled for an optic?  Or you could have it milled to take the sights you prefer.  Having the same issue, but so far I can still see the Gold Outline front just fine.  Please post what you do, I may not be far behind you.

While I have a rx exchange kit for my P320, I’ve not fully drank the red dot kool aide yet- am sure I will soon ;D. As such, don’t want to mill my PCR- think it ruins the aesthetics.

I’ll update this from what I find

I am partial to Truglow TFX Pro sights and had CZ Custom install them on my PCR.  My old eyes are happy...

Just for those whom might not know, the pcr does share the same sight cut as the 75, the pcr will just have a small "shelf" of metal missing in front of the sight. 

On my pcr I run a green f/o front and for the rear a CZ custom HTAC.  I can't stand 3 dot sights and those TFX drive me crazy. 

On my second pcr it runs a CZ custom rear that covers the shelf and brings the face of the sight to the rear of the slide.  Have you thought of just buying the TFX front and modifying the rear?

Maybe even call Dawson precision, I asked about a custom rear sight for a M&P, slightly taller and wider notch, an extra 10 bucks.
