I recently purchased a new CZ75 SP01 Shadow and it was hitting consistently high. It then dawned on me perhaps the sight picture was a 6 o'clock hold instead of centre hold like the rest of the pistols I own. Sure enough, when I switched to 6 o'clock on a bulls eye target I was shooting nice groups dead centre. My problem is I primarily want to use this gun for PPC and IDPA and unlike bulls eye targets, the 6 o'clock position doesn't seem to work very well on the "humanoid shaped targets". So it seems the solution is to change the factory sights for adjustable sights so I can set them to centre hold. I'm assuming others have done this. Can anyone make recommendations for new sights and where to get them? Thanks, I appreciate your help.
CZ75 SP01 Shadow sights set to 6 o'clock?

What bullet weight are you using?
How much higher at 10 yds is it shooting?
Have you had someone very experienced shoot it, to confirm it's the gun and not you?
If you're new to the FO FSP, for precision, you want to line up the top of the black frame on the FSP with the RSP, not the FO rod itself. It's easy for people new to FO to try and line up the FO, but then you will shoot high.

I have six or seven CZ's and they all shoot POA with 124 gr lead, plated or FMJ bullets. If you are shooting 124 gr bullets, it is you not the gun would be my bet. Those things are put together with state of the art CNC equipment, The chances of a CZ doing anything but what Rob says would be slim to none in my opinion. At 10 yards/meters I doubt bullet weight would have much effect but maybe the math says otherwise.

The way I shoot 1" higher at speed is just poor sight alignment by me. :>). Locally a long IPSC shot is 5 - 7 yards. IDPA runs out to 25 yards occasionally.

At speed, I'll vary by a few feet. lol!
Was that a typo, or did you mean your local IPSC matches are really 5-7 yds? We get quite a few close targets locally, but also stretching out to over 20 yds. Had 28 yd shots at the last local IPSC match.
