CS9 Sight

[bobwadd]

Looking for a rear white dot sight like the ones that originally came on the CS9. My newly acquired CS9 has the plastic sight which I absolutely detest. I know that NOVAK made them so I gave them a call today. Their response was, "Not available".
Before it comes up, I am not interested in Trijicons on this pistol. I just want the original CS9 2 white dot metal sight. If anyone has a pull-off or know where to get one please let me know.

Thanks

I used a 3913 rear. required a little fitting. I also changed to a front steel sight. I prefer a single dot front and plain rear.

^ My front sight is already steel so I'm good there. What type of fitting was required?

Also, how is your POA vs POI?

I did this a couple of years ago. just dressing the sight dovetail (not the dovetail on the slide) till my sight tool pushed it in with enough resistance that it would not move under recoil.

it took several tries and I would use the sight as an indicator of where I needed to remove material.

now that I am thinking....the front sight is stock.

no issues with poa/poi out to a police qual course (50 rnds) distance contact all the way back to 25 yds.

I have a qual target pic somewhere.

I will measure my sights for you

approx .200" tall front (brownells shows .204)
rear sight bottom of dovetail to top of sight .370"

remember, this was not a drop in rear sight. the dovetail was made for the plastic rear.

holding the gun up to the light...I can see the slightest of light on the rear of the dovetail (where the sight meets the slide)...meaning its not sitting perfectly flat.

the sight is solid in the dovetail despite a small ray of light

Thanks for the help. I will start my quest for a NOVAK Low-Mount 3913 White Dot Sight.

I exchanged my sights on my 3953 and my cs9 - worked perfectly - the 3953 came with factory night sights and the cs9 came with plastic white dot sights

I prefer a single dot front and plain rear.

Just curious,why?

All my duty type or CCW are single dot front.

Cheaper to buy only one tritium vial (if going night sight)
my eyes can line up a single dot in a notch faster
in a close combat situation, not going to have time to line up sights.
my focus is more on the front sight (instead of two other dots)

For years I carried a Glock 3 dot sight on duty and off duty was a Colt Officers ACP with a single dot front and a King Tappen rear which is just a white bar under the notch. the speed in which to get my officer's on target and shooting was much faster.

I took a single piece of 1/8" white pin stripe and placed it just below the rear sight notch and it improved my shot time. in fact I blackened out the rear tritium dots

my current set up
DW CCO tritium front black 10-8 140" rear
Springfield Armory MC OP factory front tritium black 10-8 140" rear
Custom Colt 5" tritium front, black Heinie rear
Colt Officers ACP front dot King Tappen Rear (no longer made)
Glock 17 10-8 brass dot front and black 140 rear
Glock 19 Trijicon 3 dot night sight with the rear dots black sharpied out
SWCS9D front dot, black novak rear
Glock 34 front dot, blacked out white bar rear
MP9 front dot, blacked out rear dots

when and if I ever get a Shield Nina it will have the rear dots blacked out or switch to a 10-8 rear sight.

the green nail polish front sight is my duty 5" Springer. I always ran a .125" rear notch for best accuracy. my eyes were getting up in age and for sometime I fought with myself to go bigger rear notch to speed up my first shot. My Glock first shot was much quicker last year than with my duty carry. It was making me frustrated until I realized the rear notch on a Glock is huge compared to .125". I switched to a .140" rear notch and used some of the wife's nail polish to grab my attention should I need to make a hasty shot and I can at least get that quick green flash. My first shot speed returned and me happy. Did I mention I like a single dot front?

here is how I ran my CQB from 98-2005 (I never saw the rear bar unless night time)

SW CQB 45, did you used to own my 5906?

The reason I ask is, I just recently acquired a LE trade-in 5906. Upon further inspection of the rear sight with a magnifying glass the dots are painted black! The front sight is still white. I have always had pistols with 3 dot sights and was going to paint the rear sights. I thought they were just faded. I do seem to shoot very well with it,like it is. I think I might just leave it this way.
So,the officer that owned it intentionally painted them (which might be you ).

hahahahaha.....the only 5906 I owned was a DPA which had 3 dot Mepros installed. Guess what I did with those rear dots?????
