What dovetail does DW use for their front sights...Colt, Springfield, etc.? Also what does the "Match" designation mean on the barrel hoods?

I'm no DW expert, but I would give CZ a shout or maybe DW customer service? I believe they've used a few differing sight curs over the years,
DW barrels, regardless of match designation, are all "semi-fit" drop in affairs and may or may not ride on the link rather than the slidestop axle or pin

I'm not 100% sure but I think DW uses Springfield sight dovetail. Also John Harrison of Harrison Design makes sights that fit DW.

Check with the folks at Dawson Precision. They will sell you a sight that you can install or send them the slide and they change the sight. They also know what fits which gun, I bought their fiber optic front for my CCO.

Kensight was very helpful and Dawson precision too, DW should do better with help on this issue I have replaced two sights,fronts are easier to find,I still had our gunsmith install. You can find the size of cuts online and go from there
