Howdy! I'm looking for a set of fiber optic sights for one of my CZ 75's. I've looked at the LPA TTF's and have heard that they sit higher than stock.

Does anyone know of a set of fiber optic front and rear sights that work for them? They don't have to be adjustable like the LPA's, but I'd like them to be close to stock in height.

Thanks!

I've looked over CZ Customs sights and do like them, but I'm really interested in fiber optic front AND rear sights. Any thoughts?

Nekkid, I can't help you specifically with the CZ. But for others reading this thread, I have used front/rear fiber optic sights from Dawson Precision (excellent!), Hi-Viz (good), Caspian Arms (front sight only, very high quality, specifically for 1911 pistols), and TruGlo (not bad at all). I've used them on 1911, Glock and shotguns.

The HiViz sights for Glock pistols are easy to find at the store or online. They are easy to install. But soot from the muzzle tends to reduce the effectiveness of the 'glow' more than the others I mentioned above. Nevertheless, the light pipes are easily swapped at the range.

I have a set of Tru Glo fiber optic/trititum sights on my Sig 239. The front sight has both a fiber optic tube and a tritium vial. The rear sights are just fiber optic.

I like them. I wrote a detaled review over at epinions.

Tru Glo Tritium/Fiber Optic sights (http://www.epinions.com/review/Tru_TG131HT_Tritium_Fiber_Optic_Sight_H_K_Usp_Models/content_423361678980)

Trebor I'd wanted the TFO's for my defense pistol, a CZ 2075 RAMI, but TruGlo does not make them for this pistol. Good article over there on ePinions!

I don't know of any that fit in the stock dovetail. If you're okay with machining then Novak makes some fiber optic rear sights that fit well on the CZ's (I believe the custom shop recommends the 1911 size)

The link from ainokea is a good one. I have the FO front and target rear on my CZ75SA.
I did have to reduce the hight of the rear about 7/1000th to get it to shoot where I wanted it to.

I'm not impressed with fiber optic sights for a SD gun. They just don't work indoors or at night, which is where most encounters will probably take place. I low light, they are just another set of iron sights.

I think they are great for outdoors and for shooting games, but don't think they contribute anything to a SD pistol.

[Buck Nekkid]

CWL I agree with you. My SD gun (CZ 2075 RAMI) has the tritium TruDots, I'm lookin' for a set of fiber optics for playin' outdoors at the range, etc.

CWL and Buck, I agree. Tried some on a Beretta, and could not see them in anything other than direct light.

I'm really interested in fiber optic front AND rear sights. Any thoughts?

My thoughts are, you do not need FO on the rear sight. If you're doing it right, you won't even notice the rear dots, as your focus should be on the front sight only.

I have FO on the rear sight currently installed on my STI (a discarded sight the 'smith used as a replacement for my broken one) and I never noticed the rear FO once during the 300 rd match I just shot, but I DO remember seeing the front sight. (at least a couple times....)

Tru-Glo, Novack, Meprolight. Can't go wrong with any of them

Got them on my MK III, I like them, it is a target/plinking pistol so I don't know how they would stand up to more rigerous use, that would the question, as the firber optics has to be exposed to pick up light. The ACOG has the firberoptic inside of a clear window on top.
