Shadow F/O front site install

[Bomadera]

Can't get new front sight to start, what's next, take material off the bottom of F/S dovetail, like other front sites?

[nothing]

yep

bomadera!   taper the leading edge very slightly that goes into the groove to help with it starting. once you have the sight so it enters the groove use a magic marker to cover the surfaces of the sight base sides and bottom . by fitting the sight in and out of the groove a little at a time  you will see where the marker gets rubbed off. that's where you have to gain some more clearance.  I did my p01 fiber optic sight that way and when fitting it the results was a snug fit but not so tight I ran the risk of damaging the sight during installation.

Thanks to all, I did as mkd suggested, and it worked fine.
I have the CZCustom Target Shadow with barrel bushing, the bushing is suppose to keep the front sight in, although the bushing does not touch the bottom of the front site, I do not see how the bushing retains the f/sight.

BTW, my Shadow with barrel bushing is scary accurate, I had a CZCustom Shadow without the barrel bushing, which was not near as accurate as this gun. Also the SRT is an amazing improvement, needless to say I recommend both options. Both are as advertised!

Bomadera.... do you have an Accu Shadow?

[Bomadera]

Yes, I do, and it is a 'keeper'. I use to have a 2011 9mm which was the most accurate 9mm I have ever shot, this Accu-Shadow rivals that 2011.

Disregard! I missed the Accu-Shadow part.
