who warrantys the night sights P09FDE?
« on: September 26, 2015, 08:51:53 PM »
I purchased a CZ P09 FDE earlier this year it came with nights sights. The rear night sights work but the front does not. Anyone know how long these are suppose to last? I purchased online and had it sent to my FFL dealer.

The tritium sites are supposed to last up to 18 years before they start fading..

I already received a e-mail back from them acknowledging my e- mail to them about the night sight. I am impressed with CZ USA even more

well they sent me a ra # with the free label to send back, I sent it just hoping it is the same sight height, it was on as far as elevation.

Not to worry, Oldtimer. I'm sure the front sights CZ uses are all the same.

I have the steel tritiums on mine too. Still burning.

Hi Oldtimer and P09 FDE owners,

I just received my P09-FDE with night sights as well, but I can only see
the glow when it's literally +90% dark.  Otherwise, they are basically
useless... Does anyone else have that problem?
I would've gotten the black to save the extra $$$ and put a F/O sight on.
I will probably do that after I put the CGW pro package on and see how it runs..

Thanks.

Unfortunately, Truglo doesn't have them for the P09.

My P-09 came with regular sights, and I got the aftermarket night sights. I can see them in low light without difficulty, with enough light to see my target. If yours are prematurely dead, contact CZ-USA about replacement.

Hi armoredman,

The sights actually glow but room has to be almost completely dark...
I'm probably going to just get the F/O front sight since TruGlo doesn't have any
for p09.
I just assembled the CGW pro-pack last night and can't wait to test it out tonight!

Wonder if it will outperform my xdm 5.25 with PRP trigger??

Well got the slide back today with new sights shooting 1"-1 1/2" low at 10 yards, seems like the front sight is taller and the rear sight is lower, what a let down.

called CZ USA  it seems they were out of the h-3 front sight and they installed a h-4 instead the rep told me when the h-3 are back in stock they will mail me one, patiently waiting.

Honestly, I'm a little disappointed in mine too.  The glow just fine when the room is pretty dark but they're not as bright as I expected.  I read on another post that his were almost bright enough to use like a small night light.  Mine are ok, but not as good as I'd hoped for. 

I put some Glo-On paint on the sights of my P-07.  When charged, they are much brighter than the tritium inserts on the P-09.
Other than that, I love the gun.
