1911vm Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I got a separate slide for my SP01 shadow and was going to send it to CZC to get it cut. Before I do that does anyone do a cut were the rear sight is still there? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunachaser Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I you tried CZC. This might work. *SKU 10467: Fixed Shadow Sight Plate * Fits SP01 Shadow / 75 Shadow only. Does not fit Shadow 2 or Firing pin block model pistols ( $75.90 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1911vm Posted September 1, 2022 Author Share Posted September 1, 2022 What i was hoping for is to have the dot and rear sight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunachaser Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Yes...fixed sight plate, the plate is for the optic and a rear sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1911vm Posted September 2, 2022 Author Share Posted September 2, 2022 this will be my first optic on a hand gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultimase Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) I kinda went through something similar. I don't 100% trust the dot yet and wanted to have a BUIS. I don't believe czc plate cut is forward enough to preserve the rear sight dovetail. There are a select few companies that can mill it, but then you lose the plate. There are a couple of options. Some RDS have a rear iron sight built in, the holosun 507k and the 407k have this for example. Take a look at the picture, you'll get the idea. When my holosun had an issue I finished a stage or two of steel with the built in BUIS, shot a bit low, but close enough. There are some options to add a BUIS to the RDS. For the RMR, and I believe the RMRcc you can add a IDRS sight that is added to the RMR. https://chpws.com/product/pmm-independent-drop-in-rear-sight-idrs-for-trijicon-rmr/ I've tried both of the options above, and currently am using the ISRS, the front sight is admittedly pretty tall in this setup, but works fine.

I have found that removing the irons works well for most people as they are forced to use the dot and dont try to use the irons as training wheels.

Not to mention it makes the view way too busy especially if your have any sort of hi-vis iron sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you join the dark side of dot shooting, you too will realize "back up" irons are pointless. Of course there's always the "bling" factor of having both on the gun. Enjoy!

Enjoy! As a new convert to the "dot" I totally agree with @HesedTech! And for my transition, not having BUIS makes it much easier to remain "target focused" vs allowing my eyes to focus on the dot or front sight........

1911vm Posted September 2, 2022 Author Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) I will be honest I am defiantly not on the dark side yet. I am still Just as fast and accurate with irons than most of the dot guys around me. it could be because the suck LOL. I am just wondering if I get better. What scares me is if I really like it this will be a very expensive problem. The same as when I got my first LPVO I am at 4 now looking for a fifth one LOL Edited September 3, 2022 by 1911vm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1911vm Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 different question . how difficult is it to go back and forth between the irons and a dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer is always in how one perceives things. For instance, an open gun can cost close to $10K plus all those model expensive mags and stuff. Even a custom Limited gun is $6K+, so with this in mind CO is really affordable. The only problem with CO compared to Production is the competition is by far at a higher level. Just check at Max Michel, he even smashes open shooters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. Having a carry 2011 commander built this winter and it won't even have dovetails for iron sights. Red dot, single port comp and done.
