Night Sights - Is the front sight the same on CZ75 as P07 Duty?

[homebrewer]

I'm trying to find night sights that will work for my P07 Duty.

TruGlo and Meprolight both make night sights for the CZ75 "Series", whatever that means. I'm wondering if anyone on  the forum knows for sure whether the Brite-site TFX model for CZ75 from  TruGlo or one  of the night sights from Meprolight will work with the Duty?

All I've found is a lot of contradictory "I think... As far as I know..." kind of information on the net but haven't been able to find anything definite. Some people say the front site on the CZ75 and PO7 Duty are the same and others not. I''ve never owned the modern CZ so I ave nothing to compare.

If neither of those work, does annyone know of a tritium sight that definitely DOES work? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

As far as I know, the P07/09 use different sights than the 75/85 series (most of the non Omegas)
CZ USA carries metal night sights for the 07/09.

These are #4's. They also have 3's & 2's. Not sure which you need.
    They are out of stock on the 2 & 3's. Check CZ Custom also.

Thanks for your replycntrydawwwg!

While, in some ways I  like the idea of metal sights, those really don't look like they have much for visibility. While every CZ I've fired Pre-B 75, P07 Duty, RAMI are all very accurate out of the box, the stock sights pretty much ALL suck. Especially now that I''m heading into middle age, tritium really helps out in low light conditions. Has  anyone tried these sights? Are they better than they look in the stock picture?

I got mine (night sights) from CZ USA.  Installed them and got lucky as it was sighted in still (same POI as with the plastic sights that came on my DUTY P07).

They are bright enough that when I lay it on the floor between the bed and the night stand when we visit my mom you can see the sights down there in the dark when you walk into the room.

The P-07 elevation is adjusted with the front sight. Remove the front sight that is currently installed on your pistol and it should have a number on the underside. Order the correct number front sight set from CZ-USA in tritium and you should be good to go. These work for sure. I have them on My gen2 P-07 and they are great.

I just joined this forum to answer this question once and for all.  I have been in pursuit of night sights for my Gen 1 P07 for a long time and I keep getting conflicting information regarding your exact question...does the CZ 75 sight fit the P07?  The answer is YES, they do in fact fit the P07, but with a few things to note.

I decided I'd go out on a limb and ordered the TruGlo TFX sights from Amazon. I just fitted them up yesterday (2/14/16) and I can confirm that both the front and rear drifted beautifully into place on my Gen 1 P07 with minimal efforts and ZERO shaving or modifications of the sights. That being said, there are two things to note. First, you must pull your factory front post and note the number under it. Being a first gen, my factory sight post is #1, meaning it is the lowest factory sight setting. This may be an issue as my factory sight post measures at 5mm (#1) and the Truglo sights are 5.5mm. Secondly, the rear sight sits slightly taller and rests just above my slide instead of sitting flush on the slide. It's not enough to snag on anything and it's not a lot, but it doesn't sit flush. This variance may actually level out my Point of Impact with the slightly taller front sight. I'm also confident this will not stress the sight, as they are machined metal and high quality. The only question is how this will effect my point of aim and point of impact. I will be going to the range this week to see what impact this change has. There's a good chance it has altered POI, but I won't know for sure until I run some rounds through it. I will post back with my experience. For what it's worth, I have TFO sights on my M&P Shield and they have been flawless through thousands of rounds. Best sights out there as far as I'm concerned. That's why I was willing to give this a try. Worst case scenario is if my POI is grossly off, I can always put my factory rear sights back on and leave the very awesome, very bright front post in place with only a slight change in POI.  Again, I WILL post back this week with my results. 

I know there are other options out there, but there are literally none that I could find for my #1 front sight.  I am a huge fan and believer in the TruGlo system.  The fiber optic inserts are very bright for daylight shooting and the Tritium is superb for night visibility.  It's literally the best of both worlds.  Provided I am within an inch or two of POA and POI at defensive distances, I would consider these a viable option.  I am not doing competition shooting with my P07.  I am not trying to stretch the distance, though I will measure distance shots and variance with POI.  I will also post pictures as well.  I use my P07 for CCW and home defense.  I'm simply not reaching out to even 30 yards with it, but for this test, I will measure out 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, and 20 yards, though that is pushing it for precision firing.  Any other requests?

The thing is from the factory the elevation on P-07/P-09's is adjusted by using different height front sights. For the 75 series guns the rear sights are numbered and available in different heights. It will be interesting too see how your gun shoots now. The other thing is if that front sight doesn't fit real good and tight in the dovetail it will go flying off in short order under recoil. CZ addressed that issue by adding a set screw to the new P-07/P-09 sights.

Thanks.  I've actually read previous posts you've made that's educated me to the facts you stated.  Thanks for that!  It will certainly be interesting to see what happens.  I plan on going to shoot Wednesday.

As for the fitment of the front sight, it is extremely snug as it is.  It took a good deal of force (but not so much that I was concerned I was going to break the sight or slide)to tap it into place.  The original plastic sight was significantly looser and I never had it move through several thousand rounds.  I had intentions of at least using some Lock-Tite but it doesn't strike me as necessary.  I'll run a few hundred rounds through it and see if I have any movement.  I'll be reporting back soon.

I'm not sure of the dimensions on the TFX sights but I had a 1st gen P-07 Duty when they first came out that I put a set of standard 75 series night sights on and it shot real nice poa/poi. There were no night sights specifically for the P-07 at that time. The rear sight was the #5 with the standard 5.5mm front sight. My original front sight was a #2 from the factory and it kept backing out hence the replacement set.

[Decipher]

Thanks for that info!  It gives me hope since I'm not sure what's going to happen. I'm obviously not carrying it until I know what it does. If I find the front sight backs out, and it sounds like it might, I'll drop some lock-tite on it and see if that helps. Again, thanks for the feedback.

[Decipher]

Here's a few pics.  Does the rear sight flow smoothly with the lines of the gun?  No, but my gun is a tool and as long as it doesn't snag, I'm good with it.

[viking499]

I like the looks of those as far as functionality.   Cosmetics.......well that might be a little different.....

Where did you get them from, factory or dealer?

[Decipher]

Thanks.  I agree.  They look so smooth on my Shield, but a little rough on my CZ.  I will say, my iPhone pics made my gun look rougher than it is.  The sight picture is awesome.  I ordered them from Amazon.  Best price I could find and, being a Prime member, free two day shipping.  I paid $121 for them.

[viking499]

What is the life expectancy of the sights?

[homebrewer]

I'm with Cypher on the looks. I'm much more function over form and I can always put the original sights back on if I ever sell the gun. I'm not worried about snagging because this is the IWB carry holster that I use.



I just pulled my front sight and it's a #2. I'm going to be curious to hear how your's shoots with the TFX sights on it. That fiber optic sighting is a thing of beauty!
