They usually install into the existing sight.

Got you, thanks.  Have you or anyone you know ever used them?

Nope, just know they are always recommended for tritium.

I read the Kriss Facebook, it states XS dots will have Sphinx sight in Q2. Does anyone have experience with XS dot sight before?

toolteckgunsight is making me a new front sight.  It will take several months.  I just look at it like having a sparks holster on order.  (BTW, I just received a VM 2 for my P 01.  Beautiful holster, as expected from sparks).  have a novak tritium rear among my spare sights that should work. If it doesn't its easy enough to buy novak sights.   I have to say, based on past experience its kind of hard to believe that Kriss will meet self projected deadlines.

That setup would make the Gun shoot even lower. You could do the reverse with a taller rear sight But not the otherway around. *If you remove rear sight make sure to go left to right to remove it.*  It's a bugger

thank you for the tips. It looks like I have to place an order on rear sight as well.  do we buy the .325" tall and .140" notch 1911 low mount sight ?
In addition , how to peen the sight to make sure it sits better on the slide ? Any photo will help.

All you have to do is put the rear sight on a towel upside down. Take a small punch and tap a hole approximately 1/4 of the way in and in the middle from both ends. All you are doing to spreading out the material. Just experiment : You really can't over do it. Remember Left to right out and Right to left install.  The sizes are correct : Some guys say loctite : IMO not needed on rear : 

To find a video just go to U-tube and search Rear sight dimple or dimpling. It doesn't matter what Gun is shown Just look at technique

Thank you for the info. I am still waiting for the spring kits from ZR tactical, it only has hammer spring and firing pin spring, but I am not sure if the firing pin spring is a lighter spring or a heavy one.  too bad that CGW don't sell any spring kits for SDP

Call cajun because they used to sell other springs. Here's one  https://cajungunworks.com/product/rp-trs-reduced-power-trigger-return-
spring/    I wold call them and ask. I know they still have the springs because they are Springs that work in the 75 series CZ's.  If you watch the CZ videos you can use those to do your SPHINX.  *I polished mine as well* Made a Huge difference   Here read this as wellhttp://www.czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=63874.0

Sphinx Night sight is in stock now from XS sight.

https://www.xssights.com/Products.aspx?CAT=10224

I watched their you tube video and it looks like the sight needs some elbow grease

Which location is the right one to use center punch? I peen the bottom of the sight, but I feel like this maybe the wrong location because the sight won't sit on top of the slide.  Shall I peen at location #1 front and back?
