New Sights: FO Front and EZ/D Trapezoid Rear, from Cajun Gun Works

[robscz97b]

Hi all,

I posted this in the "Introduction" section and 1SOW was kind enough to let me know that I should post it in the CZ 97 area of the forum.  So, for your reading pleasure (?), I'm re-posting it here.  I wrote this early this week:

Today I replaced my front "glo" sight with an FO one from Cajun Gun Works.  Did it on the dining room table too!  ;-)   The kit they sent was top-drawer, even included a punch to get the factory sight off.  They included both fluorescent red and yellow fibers about 1 1/2" long each, which should last a long time.

From the several hundred rounds I've fired downrange so far, I believe this change-out will work a lot better at 50 yards and further.  With the standard front sight, I was all over the target in mid-afternoon sun.  I also bought a new rear sight - the "EZ/D trapezoid" - but haven't had time to swap-out the factory one.  For that, I'll need to use my padded vice to put the slide in...  The Cajun kit came with a punch to remove the existing one and as long as I can correctly sight the new rear one in, I think my accuracy will improve.  Maybe I should say "I hope...".

Any comments on this setup are greatly appreciated!

Best regards,

Rob

That's the same sight set up I just put on my 97B.  The EZ/D is easier for me to use to focus on the front sight, align the tops and evenly space the front in-between the rear's.  Always had problems with the original CZ sights with that.  I started with the red FO and switched to the green.  It is just easier for me to see and focus on.  I also think the additional 1/2" of sight distance the EZ/D adds makes aiming more accurate.

The biggest problem I ever had was centering the rear sight for correct POA/POI.  Got the CZC sight pusher and never had a problem after that!

Thanks longgonedaddy!  I might need to get the CZC rear sight pusher, since I am concerned with getting the sight correct.
