Any reason not to get TFX sights? ** Ordered**Installed**
« on: June 24, 2015, 05:14:28 PM »
My eyes cant see the sights on my PCR very well and a friend has the TFX on his Glock and i liked them a lot.  Any reason why I shouldnt get them?

I have used them on my glocks they work very well I don't see a problem with using them on your CZ.

They look like very nice sights and will likely fit the PCR no problem but you will have a gap in the slide between the front of the rear sight and where the rib ends on top of the slide due to the forward design of the factory PCR sight. Some don't like the gap but it is purely cosmetic.

I have a set on a Sig P229, they're easy to pick up and fast to get on target. 2600 rounds since I installed them with no troubles.

Hmmm... I wonder if you can just use the TFX front and black out the factory rear, or if it would just be a "hack" job.

I just got a set. For the most part, I love them - they are very easy to pick up, but I do have a few minor nitpicks:

1. You lose about 1/8 inch of sight radius versus the factory sights because of the length of the front sights. It can't be helped - tritium vial + FO = a really long front sight.
2. I wish they had drilled some ports into the sides to let more light in, and from different angles. I know that a combat sight really needs to be i securely, but just a pair of small ports on either side of each sight would have helped tremendously without compromising structural integrity. It's not a big deal outdoors under daylight, but inside, the fiber optics only glow if the gun is directly underneath a light source.

Have TFX sights on several of my Sigs and like them a lot. If you decide to go with TFX sights better prices can be found on Amazon and eBay. I saved over $50 over what was posted on TruGlo's site.

Installed!!  I will not get a chance to shoot with them for a few days tho.  The rear sight looks a little bulky, but the stock sight is so small it should be expected.  They are much more visible in all lighting conditions that I have tried, I think I will like them..  Here are a few pics.

They're incredible under direct sunlight - even with the limited ports, they're somehow brighter than other FOs I've seen.

Thanks for the update! Did you purchase them from TruGlo or somewhere else? The TFX sights for CZ are harder to find than the TFX sights for my Sigs.
