Sights for Sphinx SDP Compact?

[danno_man]

It's an Allen wrench. Not sure what size, as I have a lot from other sights.

New 10-8 sight came. Fits much better than the sight that was fit to another gun.  I might try to get to the range tomorrow to try it out.

Looks great!! I love 10-8 parts, especially their rear sight design. I would love to get that sight for my gun.

Do you have a sight pusher or did you use a punch and hammer to remove the old sight and install the new one?

Thanks for sharing the info.

[danno_man]

I have a sight pusher.  Only needed it to remove the old sight.

Nice!  I didn't realize the SDP's rear dovetail was Novak cut.  It's a shame the front sight isn't as easily replaced.

Looking at their Instagram account, they are going to make FO front sights, which should be available soon.

Nice.  I can't believe the tritium / FO combo 'halo' sights are still unapproved for import after 3 going on 4 years now.

Kriss has blown deadline after deadline on that deal. Clearly they dont care about importing the sights.

Any chance of a range report with the new sights?      if it lines up I'm doing the same right away!  Did not know the rear was a novak cut.

Been on the road during the week, and had other things on the weekend. So no report yet.  Maybe Weds

Here's a picture of the fiber optic sight from their Instagram page:

That looks like a new rear sight as well.

Hey guys, my first post here on CZ. Just picked up my Sphinx sdp compact about a week ago. I've ran about 350 rounds through it already and it runs like butter! Like everyone else mine shoots low. I was reading this post and I don't know if it's the 24 hr shift affecting me or if I'm just not picking up on this sight improvement.

The 10-8 sight that the op is talking about, is this something that was milled down or some how fabricated to fit on a different gun but fits his Sphinx? Or is this a sight that I can pick up from 10-8 and install? I'm just a bit confused. Can anyone help?

I noticed also that the front sight has 4 dots, I'm assuming it's a #4 like some other manufacturers. Since I haven't been able to find shorter front posts for these are there any others anyone has found that work? Thanks to anyone who can help.

In regard to the rear sight on the pistol, it's a Novak cut.  10-8 1911 sights are Novak cut so they fit. Danno_man helped shed the light on that and tried the 10-8 sights.
