Superpipe9 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 What's the better sight to go with on a accu shadow? Cz custom hajo or fixed rear sight? I currently use the fixed tactical on my shadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRevolutionIX Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Adjustables are nice to be able to dial in any load but they break. My HAJO broke and I replaced it with a comp rear. For my reloads, I had to shave down the 7.0 front to 6.75 and it is perfect now. I would recommend going with fixed. Once you are zeroed, you don't have to worry about it.

CodyAxon Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I would recommend against the Hajo sight. Mine broke and I fixed it 3 times before I gave up on it and replaced it with a competition rear and a 6.5 front sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorfish Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Another Hajo victim here. My pin broke and the internal springs and detent evaporated. For now I've rebuilt it but I'm going to a fixed rear as soon as possible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewtac Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Fixed sight. I filed mine down until it was correct and it will always be zeroed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justpaul Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Almost Everyone in our club that shoots an accu shadow has broken the adjustable rear sight maybe 8 guys total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himurax13 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Dammit, I just bought a brand new Hajo and used it for USPSA last weekend. The springs are definately too short and some loctite is needed. I did notice that I could lift up on the sight once I had it zeroed out. I wonder if CZC will be offering Flat Black H TAC non tritium rear sights soon.

bockerSV Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 This thread is making me think I have a ticking time bomb on my hands. Been shooting the hell out of my Accu shadow for about 6 months or so and haven't had an issue with my HAJO yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Fixed for me too after two broken adjustables (not hajos though). In ipsc reliability is number 1. Fixed is the most reliable. Once you have a good load, stock up on components, get the appropriate height front, drift the rear if needed and you're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I'm coming up on 35k rounds through my Accu Shadow and have had three HAJO failures. On one, the head of the height adjustment popped off during a stage. Not a big deal since the targets were close. Swapped out for my backup blaster on the next stage and drove on. CZ Custom says that they made some changes to the screw as this happened to several people. On the two others, the hinge pin broke and started working loose. In both cases, I noticed the problem at the end of a drill and replaced the part. It's always good to have a backup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midas Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 If they have so many problems with this adjustable sight you would think someone would build a better one. Maybe CGW will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickboy44 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Yes I had the same problem...the hinge pin broke on mine too. I did buy another HAJO and I plan to buy a back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrpredictable Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Talked to CGW, they won't make it until they are aware of a demand. I'm looking for a fixed comp rear, anybody know where one is available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Not trying to hijack this but it is related...has any tried the LPA/Champion adjustable sight? I have been thinking of that option but I haven't heard too much on it. I almost purchased a Hajo a few weeks ago and now I'm glad I didn't after reading this.

d_striker Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) I'm wondering about the Champion/Kensight adjustable sight as well. Are all you guys breaking just the HAJO or this one as well? http://czcustom.com/trtchampionlpacutts.aspx#reviews My only experience with adjustable sights has been on two xdm 5.25's. While I have heard of the occasional breakage, most seemed pretty robust. This contrasts with the cz adjustable where it seems like 90% of users report breakage.

cnote Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I've has good luck with it, just have to cut the slide and that will limit options in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRevolutionIX Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 As much as I've seen adjustables break (yes, I am a part of the broken HAJO club). I will only run fixed rears. Too much time and money go into what we do, epecially bigger matches, to run the risk of potentially having a sight break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

515CUSTOMS Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Do TS people run then LPA/Champion rear sight, or the fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsons1480 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Fixed sights break too. Mine broke with about 6k rounds through the gun. Not clear on how it happened, but it snapped in half while I was practicing yesterday in the middle of a string. I don't shoot 3 gun, throw it in dump buckets, use the sight as a slide racker; in fact, I'm generally pretty nice to this gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got an email back from the manufacturer. He told me they were aware of the issue. They redesigned the sights after finding out about the issue, and he's sending me one of the new ones free of charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
515CUSTOMS Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 From CZC site May require some minor fitting, please check there is a light gap under the sight blade after fitting.If the rib is touching the underside of the sight it can put pressure on the sight blade and cause breakage.
