Fusion Firearms has the fiber optic adjustables on backorder for a month or so now.  Here is a link to their regular adjustable rear sight.

They never shipped the sights and promise to someday refund my money.  Four months now.

How does the pistol currently shoot? a little high? a little low?  Replacing the front sight is a great opportunity to get your shots to go exactly where you want them to.  CZ Custom offers fiber optic front sights in different heights to meet your needs:  http://czcustom.com/cztritiumfrontsight55mm.aspx

If you need help figuring out what height you need, the guys at CZ custom or someone here on the boards can help.

I'm not having any sighting problems, my sights are just old and I'd like to upgrade to FO. I appreciate the advice on czcustom, but they don't have any FO rear sights. Any suggestions on that end?

Fusion Firearms has been putting me off on refunding my money.  At first they were looking for the items I ordered, as they thought they were in stock.  Then they said that they were out of stock, but would be in stock in a week or two.  After two months I asked for a refund.  They said "no problem", but did nothing.
Next they blocked my e-mail address as SPAM. 
I can not recommend that anyone give them any payment information for any reason.

I've been doing a lot of research on this specific issue.  If you don't replace the rear sight, any 5.5mm FO front sight for the 75/85 series will do the job.  I am considering getting the CZC Competition Rear Sight (fixed) for several of my pistols, which requires a taller front FO sight (6.5mm).

I haven't actually done it yet, but the CZC products are actually available and come highly recommended by "internet acquaintances."
