What would be the best sights for the CZ52?

[n-44-Canon]

These sights will fit the gun like their made for it.

Just make sure NOT to remove the origional rear sight dovetail all the way, but rather cut a new dovetail in it as if the origional were not their. Also make sure to sight the gun in BEFORE installing the sights. Do this by superglueing a poster board tab to the rear sight and cut your adjustments in to it until the gun is sighted in and then install the new rear sight according to the sighted in specs.

44 Cannon!!  Long time no see!!  How've you been?? I haven't seen a post from you in months and months.

Y'all need to click on 44 Cannon's link and see his modified CZ 52's etc.  Just too cool for school!!!!

My website says where i've been. Nice to see you guys again. I no longer have those picture accessable from the main site (I don't think) so here they are:















The 2 CZ-52s on the bottom have Trintium sights shown in the picture. The one with the trigger-guard mag release is my own CZ-52, although it's had MANY updates since the picture was taken.

44 Canon I am in awe of your projects.  Incredible, just incredible!

I'd love to see you sneak in a design using the 7.62 x 25 cartridge.  The world needs an updated CZ 52!! (other than the Zastava M57 Lux!)

I still have the grips you made, they are the best!

I already have a design that uses a modified CZ-52 upper. The upper modifications are just the sights mod I used on my CZ and a Beretta style safety system.
The lower section only shares a few parts with the lower section of the CZ-52 and uses Para Ordnance P-18 mags and a tac rail.
 The design overall looks similar to the Vector CP-1 but with the "bulldozer" style the LRB Magnum has as well as the same basic component based grip design.

Here is a sketch I just scanned of the design overall:



As for in color, it's the same style and color patterns as this:

My gunsmith installed sights from a Colt 1911 Government Model onto my cz-52. I couldn't be more pleased.

Aside from the Novak sights which are available for the CZ52, I've found that some stuff called SiteGlo works pretty well.  I heard about it online, and saw some lofty claims on their website, then I found some viral marketing that the guy tried to do which was suspect, but ultimately I gave it a try.  I found that putting a couple tiny dots of white nail-polish base-coat on the rear and front sights before applying the SiteGlo really helped it to stand out and look brighter as opposed to going straight on the dark frame.  The glow lasted about 30 minutes top at it's initial brightest, and sort fades away completely in one hour.  During daylight it has a phosphorescent yellow/green tinge.  Will try to post photos when I get home....

Here is the photo of my CZ52 with the Siteglo paint-on sights.  The key to getting it to look good is to put little dots of bright-white nail polish on beforehand as a primer to make the Siteglo paint brighter.  I also used tiny little stencil stickers that I made with perfectly round holes punched in it to make perfect circles.  The color in the photo is after putting it under a bright light, and then taking the photo in an average lit room.  I like the result.  The front sight has a small vertical stripe also.
