Choosing the right sight for your CZ Shadow 2 Carry is essential. Correct sights improve accuracy, speed, and give you a setup that simply feels natural in your hands — so every shot lands exactly where you intend.
Sights for CZ Shadow 2 Carry – precision for carry & sport use
In this category, you’ll find classic and co-witness backup sights made specifically for the CZ Shadow 2 Carry platform.
The Shadow 2 Carry is factory optics-ready and allows direct installation of red dots with the Shield RMSc or Holosun K-series footprint. No adapter plate is needed. Even after installing a red dot, you do not lose your iron sights — meaning you can achieve a low, clean co-witness setup.
Because the Carry model is designed for both defensive and dynamic shooting, shooters appreciate adjustable, high-visibility sights with fiber optics that allow fast target acquisition in all light conditions.
Before choosing your sights, consider the following
Replace the whole set or only the rear sight?
Many shooters are fully satisfied with the factory front sight. The CZ Shadow 2 Carry uses a consistent front-sight height across most aftermarket options, which gives you flexibility.
If you like your current front sight, you can simply change the rear sight without replacing the entire set.
What type of sights should you choose?
If you want the fastest possible aiming, shooters frequently choose full fiber optic sights for both front and rear.
The best visual contrast is achieved by combining a 1.0 mm fiber in the rear (closer to the eye) with a 1.5 mm fiber in the front. This size difference provides a clean, intuitive sight picture.
If you prefer only a fiber optic front sight, a 1.0 mm fiber is usually sufficient.
Ultimately, the right choice depends on your preference, shooting style, and lighting conditions.
What happens to the sights when you install a red dot?
Red dots on the CZ Shadow 2 Carry sit extremely low because they mount directly into the slide cut.
This design means you retain your original sights. Unlike many other pistols, the Carry model does not require the removal of the rear sight and does not need a front-sight filler. The backup sights remain functional and allow for co-witness with compatible red dots.
Sight fitment on the Shadow 2 Carry
The rear sight of the CZ Shadow 2 Carry uses the same dovetail profile as the standard CZ Shadow 2 family. Thanks to the OR cut being separate from the dovetail area, the iron sights remain in place even when using a red dot.
This combination — direct red-dot mounting + preserved iron sights — is a key advantage of the CZ Shadow 2 Carry over many other CZ models.
