Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this and the Optic Ready mount?
This Dovetail mount replaces the rear sight on standard CZ Shadow 2 models. The Optic Ready mount is designed for CZ Shadow 2 OR models that have a factory optic-ready slide cut.
Will this hold zero as well as a milled slide?
A properly fitted dovetail mount holds zero reliably for competition use. For maximum rigidity, a milled slide is superior, but the dovetail mount is the practical choice for shooters who don't want permanent slide modifications.
Can I co-witness my iron sights?
The rear sight is replaced by the mount, so you lose the rear iron sight. Some shooters add a backup sight plate or rely on the front sight for emergency use.
Which red dot sights fit this mount?
Any optic with an RMR-pattern footprint, including Trijicon RMR, Holosun 407C, Holosun 507C, and similar models.
