Frequently Asked Questions

What tools are needed to install Truglo TFX sights on a CZ-75?

You'll need a bench block, brass/nylon hammer, small punches, an Allen wrench, a non-marring punch, alcohol for cleaning, and blue Loctite. Digital calipers are also useful for precise alignment.

How do Truglo TFX sights improve handgun visibility?

Truglo TFX sights utilize both tritium for a constant glow in low light and fiber optics to gather ambient light during the day, providing a bright, three-dot sight picture in all conditions.

What is the process for removing the old rear sight from a CZ-75?

First, remove the set screw with an Allen wrench. Then, use a punch and hammer to carefully drift the old sight out of the dovetail on the slide. Clean the channel afterward.

Why is blue Loctite recommended for sight installation?

Blue Loctite is a medium-strength thread locker that prevents the rear sight's set screw from vibrating loose due to recoil, ensuring the sight remains securely in place and maintains zero.
