Sights for Stingray C?

[bigwilly]

Will CZ P-01 sights fit the Stingray C?  I picked one up at a gun show last weekend and it is shooting high.  It is the fixed sight model.  Not sure what to do other than buy a taller front sight.  Any suggestions?

I'm not sure what sights will fit your Stingray-C, but I do concur with your observation of the pistol shooting high. My Stingray-C shoots 2" high at 7 yards.  Also, terry mc's (another forum member) Stingray-C shoots about as high as mine does at the same range.  I wouldn't think Canik would release a pistol that shoots as high as it does.

Got any plans to correct it? I like the gun, but I'd like it a lot better if it shot where I was aiming.

What sight hold are you two gentlemen using? Maybe if you used a 6 o'clock hold it would be dead on for you. Just a thought if you can't find any sights that work.

No plans as of right now.  One of the reasons I bought the Stingray-C was due to its price.  I really don't want to spend another $100+ to correct a problem the pistol shouldn't have had in the first place.

A six o'clock hold is relative to the target size and distance.  By the way, I did a six o'clock hold while shooting the 1" inch target at 7 yards.  Bottom line, the sights are off!  The high point of impact is extrapolated by distance.  At 25 yards the pistol is shooting about 7"-8" high.

Wow! That sucks Paul. Sorry for your situation.

I am using the 6 o'clock hold also. Could I black out the dots and file down the rear sight to make it short enough to level everything out?

Filing down the rear sight will not work unless you cut through the white does.  I calculated it out (geometry) and if you are able to remove .01" from the rear sight best you can do is lower about a half inch from the impact point at 7 yards.

Thank you calculating those numbers. I may just try to fit a taller front sight on there. Any idea what height I would need to get?

Are the fixed sights the same dimensions as the adjustable sights? They look the same from the side as my stingray with adjustable sights. Maybe call Century for a replacement?

I talked to Cajun Gun Works and I was told that they offered a fiber optic front sight which is the correct height for the canik fixed rear sight. It is item number 050-390 if anyone is interested. It is .216" tall.

I ordered it and hopefully this will fix the issue.

thank you for sharing bigwilly. Can you please document your installation of your new front sight and post it up here?

Here are my calculations with the new sight (.216") if used on my pistol.

We all know that raising the front sight will lower the bullet impact, which is what we want.  I measured the height of the front sight on my Stingray-C and it measured .116".  My pistol shoots 7"-8" high at 25 yards.

The new sight calculations:

New sight height is .216 - .116 (my sight height) = .100" difference.
Stingray-C sight radius: 5.700" (dot to dot)
Convert 25 yards to feet and then into inches = 900"
900"/5.7" = 157.89
157.89 x .10" (sight difference) = 15.79"

There will/should be a lower bullet impact of 15.79".  Meaning, if my pistol shoots 7-8" high at 25 yards then the new front sight should have me shooting 7"-8" low at 25 yards.  In my opinion, the sight would be too tall.  However, proof is in the pudding. The pistol will need to be fired with the new sight installed.

PLEASE LET US KNOW YOUR RESULTS ONCE YOU HAVE INSTALLED THE NEW SIGHT AND FIRED THE PISTOL.

Thanks, Paul

Genin, I'll do my best. It should be here early next week.

DexterGSP, you're significantly better at math than me. Those numbers make sense. The guy at CGW assured me that they'd tested this sight with the factory rear and said that it works. But I guess there's only one way to find out for sure. I will let you guys know how it turns out.
