CZ-75 Sight Options

Ok, first off let me get this out of the way. I love my CZ-75B compact. It is everything I'm looking for in a handgun. However, I was looking at a Springfield XD at a local gun store today and realized just how lacking the CZ is in the sight department. What are the options out there for swapping out the sights on this puppy. I don't need nites, I'd just prefer something big and visible that doesn't cost a fortune. Any ideas?
FWIW - The XD feels really nice in the hand, but the slide release drives me nuts, and the grib saftey pinched my hand several times. What a shame...

I put a set of Express Big Dots on my CZ75-PCR. It was $90 (only the front is tritium), but the standard Big dot, non-tritium is $60. My wife and I really like the Big Dot, but if you plan on doing a lot of shooting at more than 20-25yrds, they may be too big. The express sights are very quick on the "pick up", they are great for CCW and defensive shooting. Here's their web site so you can check them out.

Check out CDNN, they carry adjustable sights for the CZ75B. I picked up a set for mine; they cost about $30 IIRC. You just use a brass punch to drive out the old ones and drive in the new. There is a new front sight with the set, both front and back sit up higher than the factory sights. There is a roll pin holding the front sight on, it drives out with a small punch. Careful, though, it's easy to mess this pin up. I'm not sure where to buy a replacement pin.

You CAN put Novaks on a CZ, though it isn't very common. Presumably, you could put Heinies on one, too.

Keep in mind CZ made the Compact (not the PCR/PO1) with the CZ 83 sight configuration. Standard 75 sights wont work....gotta be for the Compact/83...happy shopping.
PT's are very reasonable...if you get good service from them, you may like your sights....

Does CZ use Trijicon as their nite sites for retrofit? I am thinking about installing these on my CZ-75B (full size).
