cpa5oh Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I've got a cz shadow that I just got from czcustom about a month ago. It's just the basic Shadow seen here: http://czcustom.com/CZ-75-SP01-SHADOW-PolyCoat-9mm.aspx I'd like to have a more narrow front sight with a smaller fiber optic rod. As I understand it, czcustom measures from bottom of sight to top while Dawson measures top of slide to top of sight. I think I'm getting a 5.5mm measurement for the stock sight from bottom of sight to top, and I think I'm getting .155" from top of slide to top of sight. As I understand it, that would mean I'd need the .155" Dawson sight. Since using a dial caliper isn't something I do every day I figured I'd just double-check here to see if my measurements are making sense. I read a bunch of threads on here and think I read in one that the factory shadow uses a cz custom 6.0mm front sight and that equates to a .170" Dawson sight...but that's not what I'm getting in my measurements.

skippyaz Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Go with the .170" sight. I have put several Dawson's on my Shadows and always use that height. I personally like the .100" width sight, but YMMV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpa5oh Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Thank you! I've ordered the .170". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
