I'm really not in the market for another pistol. The N+1 bug isn't biting me, and I don't have the funds to allocate right now.

I keep telling myself that, anyway.

Even so, just because I like to look around from time to time, I was on GunJoker and saw a CZ PCR with Dawson fiber optic sights, and it piqued my interest. I have a PCR, and it's usually my EDC piece (my other current EDC is my P07). I have considered shipping the slide to be milled for a red dot sight, but I don't really want a RDS for a carry piece because I don't want it to snag on stuff as I draw. I am also reluctant to spend the money.

Like one or two others here, I'm dealing with some age-related Presbyopia, and I keep wondering whether fiber optic sights would help in proportion to expense compared to a red dot sight (I have a P09 with a red dot, and I kind of like the RDS, but not for a concealed carry piece).

I've poked around on the Cajun Gun Works site, and while I have a fair bit of mechanical aptitude, I wonder whether having someone with more training and experience mount such sights isn't a good idea.

I want to try out some fiber optic sights, if for no other reason than to convince myself to not pay for having them installed on my PCR.

The Fiber Optic sights are significantly easier to pick up than almost any except maybe the old dot the 'i' sights with a line at the rear and a dot at the front.

agreed. they are much easier to see. when practicing fast shooting drills, I am MUCH faster with fiber optics. also, less problems with shooting on dark paper or plates

I don't know about Dawson personally, except that they seem to be one of the default options for FO sights in the CZ family and its derivatives. I'm interested, because I'm interested in joining that family, but FO only come stock on the competition grade guns that are well out of my comfort zone price-wise.

I swapped to the green fiber on my Mark IV, but I really like them. The one time I tried a red dot - on someone else's pistol - it was terrible because of prismatic effects on my correctives. Fibers work great, and I highly recommend them. OTOH, I also have the XS style lollipop sight that sig230 mentioned on my .45, and I like it a lot too. It's probably suboptimal for long distance targets, but it's the gun I would hand to an inexperienced shooter in a zombie apocalypse. I figure it would take a few shots before they learned to flinch. XD

The cheap option is nail polish.

I’ve painted my fiber optics white, which I pick up much more easily than any color.
