Members of the CZ Custom Shop participate there, along with some very knowledgeable CZ owners. The folks who created the first CZ Forum on the web have been connected to this site below since that late '90s. Note: while there is more than one out there, this one is the ORIGINAL, although another makes the claim. If you haven't already done so, you might want to spend some time on the CZ Forum. I suspect, however, if you're ordering sights for a full-size gun, and the makers says they're for a full-size gun, you'll be OK. It may be that it makes a difference, so check with the sight maker. I've swapped them between full-size and compact guns and never really noticed a difference in POI, and never bothered to measure the sights themselves. I have been told that the rear sight heights for the vary with full-size and compact guns - compensating for different barrel lengths. If the rib is intact before and after, any other sights should be fine. And if you use a non-adjustable sight, and might see an ugly spot on top of the slide behind the dovetail. That sight may work on a standard 75B, but it can't be lowered as much as when it's installed on the 85 Combat. The rib is cut away at the factory behind the dovetail. Meprolight is a leading manufacturer in the optics, handgun, shotgun, and thermal sights industry. It's similr with the 85 Combat, which has an adjustable sight that overhangs the rear of the dovetail.
#MEPROLIGHT CZ 75 FRONT SIGHT INSTALL#
If you install a sight from a different model in that dovetail, it'll work, but there'll be an unsightly gap in front of the sight, previously covered by the sight. That sight won't work on other compact CZs unless part of the rib is cut down near the dovetail. The PCR, for example,has a Novak-like sight that sets/overhangs in front of the dovetail and not behind it. There is a rib on the top of the slide with nearly all 75B models, and whether the rib of the top of the slide is cut away before or after the dovetail COULD matter, depending on the gun and the sight you're trying to mount. The oldest front sights, for example, are staked and don't fit in dovetails. Pre-Bs can be different, and the older they are the more different they're likely to be.



I've changed a bunch over the years, and that's been my experience. I've been told that the dovetails at the rear are the same for all CZ 75B-based models. There are a couple of other issues that, while they may not affect you and this particular question, could affect others.
