CZ 75D PCR Night Sights

[GMT210]

Angus,

I've searced high and low for set of nightsights for my PCR that would have the same general profile as the original reverse low Novaks.  Are they available, or can the originals be modified to accept the vials?  If they can, would the sight picture remain the same, or are the rear sights further apart, does it matter?

If anyone has done this conversion, please post a picture of the side profile and the sight picture.

Thanks

Bump,

Angus any thoughts??

I wish I had an answer for you, but I'm on the same search.  If I find anything, I'll let you know.

I have a PCR (Eric's - of HBE Leather, no less -  Custom PCR if anyone remembers …)

Yeah, this is a very frustrating topic. I have never seen a clear explanation on this site … so here goes my shot …

The story on PCR sites is basically this:

• Any CZ 75/P01 night sight shaped like the factory one will fit as far as I can tell (see below for while it is not ideal).
• These WILL fit.
• Anything like this WILL NOT fit.
• CZ "says" there are night sights available… but they have not responded to multiple emails asking about availability
• You can have your factory sites drilled and plugged by a smith with tritium inserts (and maybe some fiber optics)…

The issue with using CZ75B nights is basically the forward 'wedge' shape. Forward of the dovetail the factory sight requires the slide ribbing to be removed for about .5".  So if you place normal sights there is a gap and becomes somewhat unsightly.



I honestly have no idea why this one pistol in the CZ arsenal has this … 

Ghost Holster has a custom PCR and on it they shave the top ribbing off and then put competitions sights on

I also recently emailed GhostHolster regarding the sights CZ says exists and have not heard back …

Anyway, I think I am going to try to order up a set of the stockers and have a local smith drill them for a tritium insert and/or have some fiber put in front of them … who knows how it will go.

Here is my PCR:

As far as I am aware there is no direct replacment rear sight for the PCR
On the Pro TeK1
we machined in Height adj only novak tritium rear, the flat toped the gun to get rid of the ugly cut in front of the sight.
To this day I have no idea why CZ UB do not fit a "sensible" sight on the PCR.
It is by far my favourite carry gun, with a  fairly worthless rear sight.

Yes of course the rear can be drilled for inserts.

The tritium front we have will fit.
I am not sure but there is some legality issues with playing with tritium vials?

Angus, Don & CZubaru,

Thanks for the responses, at least I know that I am not alone in searching for the PCR nightsights.

Angus it sounds like an opportunity for either CZ-UB, CZ-USA or Ghost to develop a reasonable PCR night sight.  I would imagine that there is a sizable PCR population just waiting for a well made night sight.

count me in, can't always use the crimson trace, John

I am resurrecting this thread as I am curious if this has ever been resolved.  It is now 2015, 7 years later, and the question remains if there are in tritium front and rear sights for the PCR. In addition, it would be nice if the rear sight could be more flush with the frame. I'm finding a small gap between the bottom of the sight and the top of the frame.

I think I will just use the Glow paint for now and hope they make original night sights soon.

The CZ Custom 75 Rear sights will fit, so you can use them but the will leave a flat spot in front of the sight.

I have the PCR and I had Cajun Gun Works add the Meprolight night sights and no they do not have the sloped contour but the look great on the gun and are waaaay superior to the stock sights  for both day or night shooting.  Just got my wife a PCR  and she's getting the same sights.  CGW also added the kit that makes the first double action pull much easier.  Wife will also be getting that.  Love my PCR  i shoot it very well right hand, left hand, and off hand.  Great pistol.

We have a tritium for the factory rear dove tail now. two styles.
I will add links and photos later.

Stuart,

Do you know if this rear sight will work with the Trijicon night sight front post?

[Stuart]

its set to run the 5.5mm tall front sight, which is the factory height front.
