OPENB Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 On 3/22/2022 at 11:30 AM, rbx said: Hey OPENB, What exactly did you do last night? Did you remove the front sight and roll pin and put the pin back? Was it hard to remove. Any help is appreciated as I am not to mechanically inclined...LOL Sorry, been so busy, not on here a lot. Yes, I removed the front sight and reinstalled the pin to keep the bushing in place. I had fired a magazine's worth of ammo before putting the pin back in, and noticed the bushing had started to walk out. Just use the right sized punch, it's really very simple.

TY so much and........................I just finished mounting mine and so far I have removed the red fiber optic. I may leave it that way or grind it down. I iwll have to see after I try it. Without the fiber, it is much less noticeable, but still in view my dpp looks pretty much the same. I personally just ignore it. on the rare occasion that i don't find the dot immediately, i know i can just put the front sight at the bottom of the window and the dot will be where it's supposed to be. also if the dot decides to die mid-stage, I'm confident that i can hit some things. I had a different cz a couple years ago that had the front sight ground down, and I never noticed it not being there either, except when the dot died mid-stage, lol.

On my S2 Orange I have not removed the front sight, lol~ It was machined to accept the Trijicon SRO and I decided to leave the front sight to acquire closer targets faster...

rbx Posted April 27, 2022 Author Share Posted April 27, 2022 I took out the fiber and don't even notice it with the SRO now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcernese Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I’m still new to CO so more then once the front site has helped me find the dot while drawing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapribek Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I’ve been shooting CO since it began. I’ve removed the front sights on my 3 CO guns. Just keep practicing until the dot is there. Muscle memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest getting rid of that habit fast. Learn to draw your gun so the dot shows up where you're looking without reference to anything else.

Eli_a Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 How are SROs holding up on these shadows ? Read a while back that shadows could be a little harder on optics than slides that don’t sit inside the frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read a while back that shadows could be a little harder on optics than slides that don’t sit inside the frame. It’s probably the most popular carry optic set up I’ve seen. I only know of one in my group that has failed and he shoots a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read a while back that shadows could be a little harder on optics than slides that don’t sit inside the frame. I had an SRO go bad on me at the beginning of April after 3 years of shooting… 20K rnds maybe? -hey, there’s an ammo shortage going on, or it’d be more. Dealing with Trijicon CS was very straight forward. Called them, explained the issue and they sent me a RA and shipping label. 4 week turn around including shipping time there and back to get the sight repaired. According to the paperwork, they replaced the 5MOA “electronics kit” and the lens (which surprised me bc there wasn’t anything wrong with the lens that I could see). Same body, according to the serial number. Mine is direct milled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever said that has no idea what he's talking about. How the slide connects to the frame has zero influence in the foces and stresses applied to the optic or its fasteners. Both of my SROs are doing fine. The oldest one has to be over 10K rounds. Edited May 16, 2022 by Johnny_Chimpo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
