We all try and make that very same promise with different wording. I know I have but then I do some trading/finish a project and its off to the races.

As my dad used to say (he was an elder in the church): "the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak" !

Hey guys, trigger mechanism quwstion: in my P01, just replaced the hammer, disconnector, trigger, and firing pin block lifter with some CZ Custom parts, along with polishing the internals and swapping a lighter hammer spring and trigger spring, also doing an extended firing pin
heres the issue.

After doing the work, my double action is releasing too early. I haven't test fired it yet but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get light strikes. It releases what looks to be 1/4" shy of where my similarly modified SP01 (albeit with CGW parts) releases.

Which component dictates that release point, and what can you guys tell me about it? Thanks!

We've had this problem a few times before. Did you just get these parts or have you had them for a while? Pretty sure the issue is the disconnector.

That is caused by the side wing face of the disconnector. It is possible but not likely that the length from the face to the center of the pin hole is short giving you a shorter release of the hammer. The DA wing face mates up against the trigger bar face and at the end of the DA hammer travel it slides upward and off the trigger bar face and Bang!

I've heard that, and they're also might be tension on the trigger bar. Going to check the spring tension first, before I tear everything down. Thanks for the ideas guys

So ..... what did you think about the 365 ? I haven't even seen one in person yet.

Another viewpoint:

I think, based on the video and issues reported across the net, it may be best to wait for Sig to address the various issues with the gun before recommending one. Too bad, as I really like the gun. Hopefully they'll work out the problems and get a version 3 out. Despite what MAC reported, the version he tested was version 2, as the first version had standard 3 dot sights (like the one I rented at Point Blank a month or two ago when it was first released). I believe the trigger was improved between the first and second versions as well.

Well...I figure it is about time I dip my toe in this thread. Picked up my first CZ yesterday. The CZC custom that gregkl had listed came home with me. Then I turned around and
bought a NIB Rami BD off a CZ forum. Here we go.... :):

There's a CZ Forum?

Replaced the recoil springs in my 9MM Rami this morning. Smaller diameter spring was noticeably shorter than the new spring. Looking forward to laying hands on my .40 and seeing if the new springs will make a difference in it's reliability.

I did the 1st rough fit up on one of the current projects on the bench. The single stack. It has a few issues that are easily addressed. Usually takes 3 complete fit ups to get everything happy.

Glad to see you have time to play a bit. How's the lovely spouse holding up this fine day?
