CZ Trigger Job???
1 - 18 of 18 Posts
I have the single action mod from the CZ custom shop. To be honest, it was a disappointment -- the result is a long do-nothing pretravel followed by the single action pull, in a "two stage" setup. Using the adjustments to correct this, the gun cannot reset the trigger for the next shot; the long pull is *required* unless something else inside the gun is modified to work. So, really, its virtually identical to a cocked shot on the standard DA/SA.
My wife loves it, I found it to be "meh".
Also, the cz shop really messed up my gun. On the phone, I ordered a left handed rami -- it would get the trigger job, a left hand mag release, and an ambi safety. The delivered gun: right hand safety, left hand mag release, and crappy trigger. Called them back and they explain "no can do" --- the ambi safety wont go in the metal gun and the trigger job won't go in the plastic gun or something like that... I was NOT happy but I kind of let it slide because they did a 125% awesome job on my wife's purchase.

Years ago, I did a simple trigger job on a CZ PCR-BD Compact which turned out quite well. Classic SIG quality? No...but really close. Since, I've built and fired several single-action conversions on the full-size frame that turned out to be exceptionally rewarding on the range.
If you actually shoot what you customize, you'll appreciate how good CZ pistols are before conversion.

I do my own trigger work. If you don't have 5 thumbs on each hand, it is not difficult and there is all kinds of information on the web for how to. You need two things: the right tools and patience. When doing such delicate work, you do a little bit of work, reassemble, and test. It is much easier to take metal off than it is to put it back on.
There could be a problem with having it done locally. Are there smiths who know how to do it correctly? Having a bubba dremel tool his way may not be in your best interest.
This is what I worry about. I may just change some springs and maybe do some polishing. Thanks for the advice guys. Any links to a good video of CZ polishing?
What model are you talking about?
Some spring replacement should be done on a regular basis. Some places may offer spring kits.

A real gunsmith is certified and insured, and on the rare occasion he makes a mistake, will fix it for you on his dime. They have the proper tools and manuals and experience to do the job. They are usually a FFL as well. I do not know where you guys go to find a dremel tool bubbasmith, but most of that sort of thing is DIY people that only mess up their own guns.. ?? It should not be too hard to find a reputable smith.
A lighter hammer spring can do wonders but it can also lead to FTF problems on some ammo (light strikes). A lighter trigger spring can help too; many guns (not sure about cz) put an overwhelming do-nothing spring on the trigger (all it does is pull the trigger back to the front for the next shot, which takes like 1 oz of force) ... some guns have 5+ pounds of spring for that!
You can go to a 13 pound spring and an extended firing pin which will smooth it up. Putting the competition hammer from CZ Custom will help too. I'd stay away from polishing any of it.
I'll second Matt as well as CZ Custom.
I think both shops do really good work but I did a trigger job on both my CZ 85 and SP-01 myself.
I did the SRT and changed a lot of other components and did some polishing. I had never had a CZ apart but there is a lot of information available online but you have to hunt for it, not as readily available as say information on a Glock.
Both of my CZ have great light trigger pulls with a short reset and 100% reliability.

David at CGW is wonderful and if I didn't do it myself I would send it to him.
Here's is a walk through for a simple trigger job.
