Sights

This collection contains iron sights for pistols, revolvers and rifles. You find sights, separate rear sights and front sights, co-witness sights and front sight fillers. Every sight is made for specific firearm models. The fit depends on the dovetail and on the sight height. For this reason the sights are sorted by firearm brand and then by model. Start with your brand below, then open your model.

Sight picture: fiber optic, tritium, luminescent or plain

The last part of each title names the sight picture. It decides how fast you find the sights and in which light they work:

• Fiber optic collects daylight and shows a bright dot. It helps you acquire the target fast in good light. It is a common choice for sport and competition shooting.
• Tritium glows without any outside light, battery or charging. It works even in very bad light conditions. Some titles call these sights night sights.
• Luminescent dots charge in light and then glow for a limited time. They help in bad light conditions.
• White dots and white lines give contrast against the target in all conditions. They do not glow.
• Blank sights have a plain grooved surface without dots or inserts.

Adjustable, semi-adjustable or fixed

Fully adjustable sights have screws for windage and elevation. You can set your zero and test different types of ammunition without changing parts. Semi-adjustable sights adjust for elevation only. Sights without "adjustable" in the title are fixed. You correct windage on fixed sights by moving them sideways in the dovetail. Elevation on fixed sights is set by the sight height and cannot be changed.

Rear sights, front sights and fillers

Check the title to see what you get. A title with "front sight" or "rear sight" means a single part. Most other sights are complete sets of front and rear sight. You do not always need to replace both parts. An adjustable rear sight lets you keep the factory front sight and still adjust your zero. A separate front sight lets you change only the front, for example to a fiber optic front. A front sight filler replaces the factory front sight with a part without a sight. On the CZ models it fits, the pin is included.

Sight height: low, standard and co-witness

Most sights sit at a standard or low height. Co-witness sights are taller. They stay visible when something sits above the slide:

• On an Optics Ready, OR or MOS pistol with a red dot, the sights show through the red dot window. If the red dot fails, you still have working sights.
• With a suppressor, standard sights are hidden behind it. Sig offers Suppressor Ready variants of the P220, P226, P229 and P320. These take their own co-witness sights.

Each co-witness sight fits only the variant named in its title. Standard sights for the same pistol often do not fit an Optics Ready variant.

Why one sight fits several models

Many pistols share the same slide geometry and dovetail. A sight for one model then fits a whole family. For example, one rear sight with a 9.5 mm dovetail fits four models. These are the Tanfoglio Limited, EAA Witness, IWI Jericho and Springfield P9. Where models look similar but have a different slide, they have separate sights. The CZ P-09 Nocturne and the Optics Ready variants are examples.

Sights by firearm brand

CZ. The sights for the CZ 75B also fit the 75 SP-01 and P-01. Sights for the Shadow 2 also fit the 75 SP-01 Shadow. The TS 2, Shadow 2 Carry and P-07 and P-09 each have their own sights. So do the P-09 Nocturne, P-10 and P-10 Optics Ready. See Sights for CZ models.

Glock. Glock sights fall into four fit groups: standard models (G17, G19, G26, G34), MOS variants, Slimline models (G42, G43, G43X, G48) and Slimline MOS variants (G43X MOS). Sights from one group do not fit another. See Sights for Glock models.

Sig Sauer. The P220, P225, P226, P227, P229 and P320 take the same sights. Optics Ready and Suppressor Ready variants need their own sights. The P365 has separate sights. See Sights for Sig Sauer models.

HK. The VP9, SFP9, VP40, P30 and HK45 share one sight family. The VP9 OR and SFP9 OR take their own co-witness sights. The USP and P8 share another family. See Sights for HK models.

Walther. The PPQ, P99, Creed, PPX and PPS share one sight family. PDP sights fit both PDP 1.0 and PDP 2.0, in all PDP series. The Q5 Match SF and Q4 SF OR share sights. See Sights for Walther models.

Springfield and HS Produkt. HS Produkt makes the XD pistols that Springfield sells. Sights for the Springfield XD and XDM also fit the HS Produkt XDM, HS-9 and SF19. The XDS shares sights with the HS Produkt S-Line. See Sights for Springfield models and Sights for HS Produkt models.

Beretta. The 92, 96, 98 and M9A1 form one group. The 92A1, 92X, 92XI, 98A1 and M9A3 form a second group. The 92X Performance, APX and PX4 have their own sights. See Sights for Beretta models.

Ruger and Tanfoglio. Ruger sights cover the Mark series, P85 and P89, P91 to P97 and Max-9. Tanfoglio sights cover the Limited, Force, Stock, Match and Custom models. See Sights for Ruger models and Sights for Tanfoglio models.

Sights for 1911 pistols

1911 pistols use different rear sight cuts, depending on the maker and model. The main cuts here are Novak, G.I., BoMar and Kimber. A sight for one cut does not fit another cut. Several Colt models use the Novak cut. See Sights for 1911 models.

Sights for revolvers

Sights for Smith & Wesson revolvers fit K, L, N and X frames. Examples are the 686, 629, 19, 66 and 586. Your revolver must already have a factory adjustable rear sight cut. Some products come in a version for new frames and a version for old frames. Red dot ready versions have a Picatinny interface on top, so you can add a red dot later. There are also sights for the Ruger GP100 revolver. See Sights for Smith & Wesson models.

Rifle and Picatinny sights

Folding sights for Picatinny and Weaver rails fit most modern rifles, including the AR-15 and M4. They fold down when you use an optic. The rear sight has 4 ghost ring apertures for different distances. Windage and elevation adjust in clicks, without tools. See Sights for Picatinny base. CZ 455 and CZ 457 rimfire rifles have front sights with an Ergal ramp. Their height adjusts from 14 to 18 mm.

Makers and materials

Most sights are machined from steel by LPA in Italy. Angry Bear and Night Fision make steel sights in the USA, Zendl in the Czech Republic.

Adding a red dot

If your pistol has no optic cut, a red dot mount replaces the rear sight. See Red dot mounts. If your pistol has a factory optic cut, you need an optic plate for your red dot. See Optics ready plates. In both cases, check which co-witness sights fit your setup.

Frequently asked questions

Which sights fit my pistol?

1. Find the exact model of your firearm, for example CZ Shadow 2 or Glock 19.
2. Check if your pistol is an Optics Ready, OR or MOS variant. These variants often need different sights.
3. Open the collection for your firearm brand, then for your model.
4. Open the product and read the compatibility list. Your model and variant must be on it.

Do I get both the front and the rear sight?

Yes, in most cases. Most sights are complete sets of front and rear sight. Only a title with "front sight" or "rear sight" means you get that single part.

I use a red dot on my pistol. Which sights do I need?

Co-witness sights. They are tall enough to be seen through the red dot window. Choose the co-witness sights whose title names your exact model and variant. Examples are Glock 19 MOS or CZ P-10 Optics Ready. Co-witness sights for one variant do not fit the other variants of the same pistol.

Fiber optic, tritium or luminescent: which one should I choose?

Choose fiber optic for shooting in daylight, for example at the range or in competition. Choose tritium if you shoot in the dark or in very bad light. Choose luminescent dots for dusk and bad light. They need light to charge first. Choose white dots, white lines or blank sights if you prefer a sight picture without glowing parts.

Do I need adjustable sights?

Choose fully adjustable sights if you want to set windage and elevation with screws, for example for different ammunition. Choose semi-adjustable sights if elevation is enough. Choose fixed sights if your pistol already shoots to point of aim. You correct windage on fixed sights by moving them in the dovetail.

Can I install the sights myself?

Yes, if you have the right tool. Most pistol sights sit in a dovetail. You push the old sight out and the new one in with a sight pusher or a punch. You find these in Installation tools. If you do not have these tools, ask a gunsmith.
