Replacing Night Sights on a CZ-82

**Al-Mumit** · November 27th, 2009, 01:53 AM

So I got my first C&R purchase, a really nice CZ-82 that looks like it was built, put in a box for 19 years and shipped out to me unissued and unused. Its really a nice pistol... but the night sights don't glow for crap!

They're supposed to be tritium but they look like white paint and glow just as well. Hell even my old Yugo SKS has chargeable night sights that still work!

My question is this; what are the options in replacing/fixing the night site capability? I love the sights otherwise, easiest pistol sights I've ever used, I just wish they would glow...

Go to-gunboards.com-,then to the Makarov section,it deals with anything that fires 9x18 rounds.

From whom did you buy this CZ-82, and was it advertised with tritium sights?

And how about a photo, particularly of the sights? Here's mine:

I think CZ just uses some type of "glow-in-the dark" type paint on their sights. I have a CZ85B with three dot sights, and they glow for a little while if you hold them near a bright light for a few minutes. Sorta like a McDonalds happy meal toy, ya know. I love my CZ, but I can't call them night sights.
