Red dot adapters for CZ models

This collection brings together every red dot adapter we have for CZ models: optics ready plates for CZ models with a factory optic cut, and red dot mounts for CZ models without one. Pick your model above and you see only the plates or mounts that fit it.

Plate or mount: which one does your CZ take

It depends on one thing, the factory optic cut:

• Optics Ready CZ models have a factory optic cut in the slide, closed with a cover plate. They take an optics ready plate. The plate goes into the cut and connects it to the footprint of your red dot.
• CZ models without an optic cut take a red dot mount. The mount replaces the rear sight in its dovetail. You need no slide milling and no permanent modifications.

A mount does not fit an Optics Ready model, and a plate does not fit a model without the cut. Choose your exact model, including the Optics Ready (OR) part of its name.

Optics Ready CZ models

CZ has two Optics Ready families. Their optic cuts are different, so a Shadow 2 plate does not fit a P-10, and the other way round.

• Shadow 2 Optics Ready family: the Shadow 2 Optics Ready, Shadow 2 Compact and Shadow 2 Orange OR. See Optics ready plates for CZ Shadow 2 Optics Ready.
• P-10 Optics Ready family: the P-10C, P-10F and P-10S Optics Ready and the P-10C Ported. See Optics ready plates for CZ P-10C Optics Ready.

Footprints for the Shadow 2 Optics Ready

The Shadow 2 Optics Ready has the widest choice. Single-footprint plates exist for Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Docter, Leupold DPP and Holosun K-series. Further plates take the C-More RTS, Aimpoint Acro, Aimpoint A-CUT and Holosun 509T. Multi-footprint plates cover several red dots at once, for example Toni System type A (Shield RMSc, Leupold DPP and Docter) or the CZ factory plate (Shield RMSc and Holosun K-series). Impact Machine makes steel plates with a built-in rear sight, so you can co-witness through the red dot window.

Footprints for the P-10 Optics Ready

For the P-10 Optics Ready, plates exist for Trijicon RMR, Shield RMSc, Docter, Leupold DPP and Holosun K-series. Further plates take the C-More RTS, Aimpoint Acro, Vortex Razor and Holosun 509T. CZ also makes a factory plate for the Shield RMSc and Holosun K-series footprints.

Red dots without a plate

Some red dots fit the CZ optic cut directly. The Holosun SCS P-10 fits the P-10 Optics Ready, and the Vector Optics Frenzy 1x20x24 fits the Shadow 2 Optics Ready. See Direct-fit red dots for CZ P-10 Optics Ready [S, C, F & Ported] and Direct-fit red dots for CZ Shadow 2 Optics Ready.

CZ models without an optic cut

CZ models that look alike do not always share a rear sight dovetail. The mounts are therefore made for model families:

• Shadow 2 and 75 SP-01 Shadow: most mounts fit both. They do not fit the Shadow 2 Optics Ready. See Red dot mounts for CZ Shadow 2.
• Shadow 2 Target and TS 2: the Shadow 2 Target has its own mounts, made for the TS 2 and Shadow 2 Target. See Red dot mounts for CZ Shadow 2 Target and Red dot mounts for CZ TS 2.
• CZ 75B, P-01 and 75 SP-01: one mount family fits all three. It does not fit the 75 SP-01 Shadow. See Red dot mounts for CZ 75B, CZ 85, CZ 97.
• P-10C, P-10F and P-10S: the mounts fit the P-10F in both 9x19 and .45 ACP. They do not fit the P-10 Optics Ready models. See Red dot mounts for CZ P-10.
• P-07 and P-09: one mount family fits both. See Red dot mounts for CZ P-07, CZ P-09.
• Kadet: one mount fits the Shadow 2 Kadet, 75 SP-01 Kadet and 75 Kadet. See Red dot mounts for CZ Shadow 2 Kadet.

Footprints for CZ mounts

The Shadow 2, P-10, TS 2 and CZ 75 families have the widest choice: mounts for Shield RMSc, Trijicon RMR, Leupold DPP, Docter, C-More RTS and Holosun K-series. The choice for the P-07, P-09 and Kadet models is smaller. The title of each mount names the footprints it takes. Multi-footprint mounts use a type letter, for example Toni System type B (Trijicon RMR and C-More RTS) or EGW type S (Shield RMSc, Leupold DPP and Holosun K-series).

What happens to the rear sight

The mount takes the place of the rear sight, so you aim with the red dot only. Keep the original rear sight. Because the mount needs no permanent modifications, you can refit it later.

Makers and materials

CZ makes its own plates from steel in the Czech Republic. Evo Arms and Eemann Tech also use steel, as do Zendl and KMR for their CZ mounts. 2BME in Poland, Toni System in Italy and Outer Impact and EGW in the USA machine their plates and mounts from aluminium. Steel parts are heavier. Shield Sights in the United Kingdom also makes mounts for the Shadow 2, SP-01 Shadow, P-07, P-09 and P-10.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my CZ is Optics Ready?

An Optics Ready CZ has a factory optic cut in the slide, closed with a cover plate, and "Optics Ready" or "OR" in its model name. The Optics Ready models are the Shadow 2 Optics Ready, Shadow 2 Compact, Shadow 2 Orange OR, P-10C, P-10F and P-10S Optics Ready and the P-10C Ported. If your CZ has a rear sight in a dovetail and no cover plate, it takes a mount.

Can I install the plate or mount at home?

Yes. No milling is needed, and you can do it yourself.

1. Plate: remove the cover plate from the optic cut, screw the plate in and screw the red dot onto the plate.
2. Mount: drift the rear sight out of the dovetail with a sight pusher or a punch, push the mount in and tighten it, then screw the red dot on.

Put a drop of threadlocker on every screw.

Which red dots will fit my CZ?

It depends on the plate or mount you choose. Every one takes one footprint or a group of footprints. Find the footprint of your red dot in its specifications and take the plate or mount that names it.

Does a Shadow 2 mount fit my Shadow 2 Optics Ready?

No. The Shadow 2 Optics Ready takes a plate, not a mount. The same applies to the P-10 Optics Ready models.

Does a P-10 plate fit my P-10C Ported?

Yes. The P-10C Ported takes the same plates as the other P-10 Optics Ready models.
