Hi Guys

I have a CZ 85B and am looking to upgrade the rear sights to something that is adjustable.
I am not very picky (still a noob) but I prefer a 3 dot sight and something I can do easily myself.
Any suggestions on what to get and where to get it?
If you guys have any other upgrade suggestions for my gun please let me know!

Thanks!
 
Have you considered a rear sight for and 85 Combat? You may be able to get one from the importer.
 
For small parts of this sort you can order direct from the CZ Custom shop in the US.

Some of the CZ sights have a set screw to lock them in place and others simply rely on friction of the dovetail. But either way you will require either a sights pusher or a sturdy bench vise, set of brass punches and a medium to large hammer. Without a sight pusher or other custom made pushing tool you simply can't hold the slide well enough to drift it out with a punch and hammer without a vise.

To protect the slide from the vise jaws use a layer or two of card stock similiar to cereal boxes.

Note too that the CZ sights come in a variety of front heights. You'll need to measure the one you have. It will also depend on which rear you get if you get one which is a different height from your stock combat sight.


It's up to you but for speed of sight picture acquisition in matches I've found that the 3 white dots simply gives too much visual clutter. I far and away prefer the fiber front sight and plain blac rear notch as the fastest and most clear quick acquisition sight. Second best has proven to be a white or other colour dot front and plain rear notch. And finally I'd rather have simply black sights over a three white dot or any other outlines markings on the rear.

The dots and other markings are to aid in use during low light such as night time or dark indoor use. As Canadians shooting for fun at the range we seldom or never run into dark conditions. For us it's all about what makes the eyes pull the sight picture together the best. If the three dot setup is what works the best for you then fine. But perhaps look at some other options first.
 
This is slightly off topic but it may help me find what I'm looking for.Does anybody know the dovetail sizes for a 75b and a pre B?I picked up a 75 but it's made of bits and pieces.Frame with ambidextrous safety,single action trigger system and a preB slide assembly.The problem is whoever had it before stuck a rear sight on it that doesn't fit properly.I'm left trying to find a rear sight for a 75 pre B slide.Doesn't sound like something that would be hard to find but,after multiple phone calls and emails, apparently it is.Adjustable would be nice but from everything I've found out so far unavailable without machining the slide.CRAFM has tried to help but they say I'm probably going to have to have any sight they can get me fitted by a gunsmith.You would think that with the amount of these preB pistols out there that at least a factory fixed sight would be available.
 
Thank you very much for the info!
