I didn't have the tools so I brought mine to local gunsmith took him about 5 minutes.
Ditto that.

Thank you both for your input.

With respect to tools, I imagine a padded vice... Punches, front and / or rear?

No, I don't have my PCR yet.  This Wed...

With tritium sights, I've always avoided punches for fear of breaking the vial(s). I used to have a local gun shop that would install them for $15-20 so that's what I always did. Brought in a gun one day and they decided it was now $75 to install sights (direct swap mind you, no milling) so I figured that was the sign to buy a sight pusher. There are several options available on Ebay for pretty reasonable prices now, so if your local shop wants a lot of money to install them, I'd go that route.

TLDR: if the sight has tritium vials, a pusher is the safer option.

Joe, that makes sense alright.  I can appreciate the precaution.  I've been trying to find videos.  This one is a fiber front sight though...

Even if inexpensive to have a local shop do it for me, I'd prefer doing it myself, for educational purposes.  I say that while in the garage, with a car I need to re-assemble...  I hope to get that level of familiarity with the CZ, eventually.

So, I'll be looking for a "pusher".  Thanks much for your help.

Thinking f getting those also let us know how they shoot
Will do
They shoot low so I will have to get use to them. My eyesight is horrible which doesn't help.

was afraid of that, seeing as they are for the full size gun. Thanks for the feed back.

I had these on my short list of sights, and was wondering the same...  Thank you.

I think I made a costly mistake buying these sights. My POI is way to low at 30 feet.
TruGlow does not recommend these sights for the PCR. I think the rear sight is to high causing POA to be way different then POI.

Sounds like you spoke with or communicated with TruGlow.  Thanks for sharing.  And, welcome to the forum!

So, as a relative newbie myself, what are the comparable sight options for the PCR, and related compacts?
