Some people choose to replace the entire sight set when upgrading their factory CZ, while others prefer to replace only the front sight. Some want to mix and match the front sight and rear sight. We have something for everyone.
The purpose of the firearm determines the choice of front sight
CZ models are distinguished by their precision craftsmanship, high-quality materials, long lifespan, reliability, and excellent ergonomics. These qualities make them ideal firearms for versatile use, from sport shooting to everyday carry (EDC).
Depending on the purposes for which you use your CZ model, you can select the ideal type of front sight. Each type of front sight is suitable for a different shooting style.
Types of front sights available
You can choose from several types of front sights in our range. Each has its own advantages and is suited for different purposes.
Fiber optic sights
Characteristics: Fiber optics capture and direct light.
Advantages: Fiber optics ensure very good visibility of the front sight in good lighting conditions.
Usage: Fiber optics are used by sport and competition shooters who need to aim quickly and accurately even on sunny days.
Tritium sights
Characteristics: Contain tritium, which glows in the dark. Tritium capsules are completely safe and non-toxic.
Advantages: Tritium sights glow without the need for external power and have a long lifespan (approximately 10 years).
Usage: Suitable for self-defense and shooting in low-light conditions.
Classic steel sights
Characteristics: Simple steel front sights without optical elements.
Advantages: Durable and provide a traditional look to the firearm.
Usage: For self-defense, EDC, suitable for those who do not seek functional upgrades and prefer simplicity and classic design.
Sights with white dots
Characteristics: White dots provide better contrast than traditional steel sights without optical elements.
Advantages: Offer better eye contrast and quicker orientation when aiming.
Usage: Universal.
How to choose the right front sight
Although general recommendations suggest that fiber optic sights are best for sport shooting due to their better and quicker visibility when aiming, every shooter has different preferences. Therefore, in addition to these recommendations, consider what works best for you and what aligns with your experience.
You don’t have to replace the entire set
Our customers often choose to replace only the factory front sight with a fiber optic front sight while keeping the original rear sight. This is a somewhat cheaper option for upgrading your CZ.
If you decide on this option, we recommend a front sight with a fiber diameter of 1mm. Choose a front sight with a diameter of 1.5mm if you are also changing the rear sight. The contrast between the 1mm fibers in the rear sight and the 1.5mm fiber in the front sight will enhance and speed up your orientation.
We have also received very positive feedback from customers regarding the different colors of the fiber in the front sight and rear sight.
