Is there a taller (prefer non-FO) aftermarket front sight for Shadow2?

I tried to Google search for one but I am not sure if they will work for the Shadow2. Anyone has an exact make and model I can use as a reference? If it says for CZ75 then it will work for sure like this one (or it has to say for Shadow2 specifically?) https:// czcustom.com/cz-parts-all/front-and-rear-sights/front-sight/cz-black-plain-front-sight-3-1mm-wide-blade-cz-75.html I see this one works but out of stock there and can't find this one within Canada...

Looks like the only option for now is the one from Select Shooting Supplies.. but I prefer a non-FO version

First question, why taller? As for non FO, you can fill the hole with a piece of drill rod using super glue, or colorit with a felt pen
 
I put the Select front sight and a target adjustable on my shadow 2 and it works great, hated that florecent one!
 
You using it for IPSC or for something else? If you are using it for IPSC I don't see any value in having a front sight backup. It ends up just being a visual distraction in the lens field of view. If your optic fails it's better to have a backup one available.

This!

If ithe front sight happens to be the same colour as your dot in your optic it is easy to use the front sight and not your Optic dot if you are running as fast as you can. I know...it happened to me once. LOL Two rounds went into the back berm over the target. Off came the front sight. That was on my PPQ Match. I have since moved to the SIG 320 for my Optic with a green FO front sight. It should not happen again.

IMHO the whole idea of co-witness sights is over valued. Slavex has the right idea. My bet is it will be a rare instance for the Optic to fail but it certainly could.

yeah if for competition totally waste of time to co witness a pistol sight in my opinion. if the optic fails you're gonna have a crap stage regardless. Better to just own a spare.
