I'm sure this is all old news to you CZers. Just thought I would pass this along to the new to CZ folks. We took 4 Czs here, three full size and one Compact and did noting other than change the Hammer Spring to a 13 pound spring we had on hand for Beretta 92s. AMAZING!!!!! AMAZING!!!!! 100% ignition with everything we ran through it. It is So good that it had some of us wishing for this in a DA only version with this spring installed. Better than any stock K Frame S&W ever. Try it.

No one cares about gunsmithing, went want to know if you tried those blue pills yet????
 
It's the one thing that makes the biggest difference. Add in a hammer from CZCustom Shop or Cajun Gun works, and gently polish the internals that rub against each other during the trigger pull. This will take it to the next level...… which is really good.
 
Yup....cuts the DA nearly in half. The 3 spring kit from Cajun Gun Works (hammer spring, firing pin spring, and firing block plunger spring) is a no brainer upgrade at a whopping $17 for the springs.

How hard is it to install the 3 spring kit?

Not hard at all. Knock out a couple of pins, trade springs, knock pins back in.

As Bowwow said, polish a couple things up while you have it open, and it's a huge difference.

There's one feller in particular on YouTube that has a fantastic series on installing custom parts and the 25 cent trigger polish job. I'll see if I can find it real quick.

Brb lol

Geezer is hoarding them. I begged him like a dog to let me have them and he wouldn't. Hell. he doesn't even have a gun to shoot em in. My Pal!!!
@Butter , here's what really happened. I took them to Billy's yesterday and told him we needed to shoot them. He said, "Sure, but first let me go out here and see if I can set the woods on fire."

Once he got the fire raging out of control, he had to eat butter beans and rice. He left me and @garvin to fight the fire by ourselves. Try to picture a 2 man bucket brigade with 2 mid 60's gentlemen having to carry 5 gallon buckets of water from the pond....uphill...both ways!!!

Of course, @garvin and I got the fire under control and finally extinguished. As @garvin and I were reflecting on what had just happened and were giving thanks for being alive, Billy strolled up, rubbing his belly. After he saw the condition that @garvin and I were in, I think he actually forgot about shooting the ammo. I was pretty light headed from smoke inhalation and I forgot about it, too.

The trigger return spring is tricky without a drone pin, for some reason I didn't think to make one.

On a cheap copy of a CZ I got a 6lb4oz DA pull and a SA right around 3lb.
TRS, plunger spring, and 11.5# hammer spring, too lazy to polish. 100% ignition with WSPs and S&B's.

This might read as comedy BUT it is actually a damn good description of what Exactly happened. Ya'll wouldn't believe the stuff old men can get into.
 
It is not as easy on a CZ as other pistols. They are IMHO overly complicated. The first time you take a sear cage out you are like WTF..... ! I agree with @Beef15 get yourself a slave/drone pin to if you are getting into the trigger return spring. I believe CGW sells them. Simple spring changes really help the CZ and they are pretty tolerant in terms of ignition. Or you can just send it to CGW and let them got nuts.

Abyss1232 and shootingleft on YouTube are the two that have the best CZ tutorials, imho.
Abyss has the polish job vid and I dont think shootingleft has that at all on his channel.
 
Got my springs in today. Took 15 min to install tops and it really made a world of difference. Put 100 through it this afternoon with zero issues.

Heck yeah....Ive got a couple I picked up over the last year that Ive been slack about getting the spring set for.
Need to fix that asap lol
 
I just finished the same upgrades on my Sp01 and also used the slave pin from cgw for the trigger spring installation. The slave pin made it easy.
I have also pulled the sear cage so I could remove and polish the internals. The slave pin for the cage, also from cgw, really simplified that process. I was able to remove and reinstall the cage without disassembly. Trigger is really smooth and sa pull is just under 4 lbs. The instructional videos are great!
 
@Slappy McTrigger , @Slacker, @NKD, If I do this to my SP-01, will it result in light strikes on the kadet kit?

Yes, it will.

IMO, the best performance from the Kadet would be a SA only gun. Because a heavy hammer spring doesn't affect trigger pull weight like it does for DA.

Good thing I tend to shoot it SA only. ;)

If you always start cocked and locked, you may consider it. It will make trigger freaking awesome.

Would make it non compliant for USPSA Production. You'd have to shoot limited. But only kweerz shoot production.
Plus you can do big mags and your Kadet will be sublime. Or, find a nice CZ75 lower for Kadet.

Present company excepted of course!

I had light strikes when I used a 13lb hammer spring. It would run the 9mm upper just fine with pretty much any primer and, as others have mentioned, helps the DA pull a ton but it won’t reliably crush the rim on a .22 in my experience.
