Thread: Fibre optic for CZ Shadow

Just curious, any idea why / how it fell out?

They are only made from thin plastic and sit on top of the slide at the muzzle.

It's very easy to knock and break them. Many competition holsters don't cover the slide, so just walking around the range can lead to banging the front sight into stuff.

Simple fix if you have the fibre and a lighter.

Curious on any specifics as I have a couple of them and it hasn't happened to me yet....

Hasn't happened to me either, but I've seen it happen a couple of times. I keep a spare length of fibre in my range bag.

You must treat your guns too nicely haha. I tend to replace mine quite regularly to keep them bright, but I've still broken one or two. Usually the melted part at one end breaks off then the slide cycling bounces it out.
