The CZickness XLIV Girding our loins for 2022

[patience0830]

With the frame in hand the spring on the left side when out of the groove should look like it is up about 1/16" above the bottom edge of the trigger bar. The right side should be up about 1/8" above the bottom edge of the trigger bar. This should give sufficient upward tension on the trigger bar. I use a small pair of needle nose plyers to adjust the spring up or down. Pay attention that the spring is located center of the groove or that could possibly cause it to jump out especially if it does not have sufficient upward pressure.

This sounds like a complication that will keep me from buying an SP01. Is my P07 suffering from a similar setup?

The P-07 only has one trigger bar spring on the right side if memory serves me correct. The SP-01 mentioned is the first one I have heard with that problem. When properly set it will never be an issue.

OK. So if I unseat the springs and put towards inside 1 spring goes down a 1/16th or so. The other 1 doesn't come down at all. When I go to reseat that one I have to actually push it down into the groove.

Guess I need new springs

If you send it to the Wizard(llh1956), he can tune that baby up with CGW goodies. You won't believe the difference. Congrats on the SP-01, by the way.

Just finished cleaning the Green Monster and the 365 after getting some gun powder therapy. I love shooting both of these. Thanks H45 for letting me borrow the GM.

Excited for Tuesday for sure.

It kind of sounds like the reach reduction setscrew did not have Loctite applied. If so as you shoot more that setscrew will back out causing the DA not to reset.

This was the culprit. Set screw was loose and allowed the spring to shift and lose tension. Tightened the set screw and rechecked function. Perfect. Now I'll pull the set screw and loctite in place.

Definitely will want to cajunize in the future, just not in the budget at the moment.
Wife just had me spend over 2k on a new mattress set. Had to book/rent a home for daughters wedding in July. New dryer a month ago. Pretty good size vet bill a week ago for the mastiff.

The cash has been flowing

My SP-01 is bone stock and has had zero issues. Trigger smoothed out nicely around 200-300 rounds and is a soft shooter and a really easy pistol to shoot.

Glad we were able to get it back on track

See, everyone...this thread does have useful CZ information...sometimes

If you pull that spring out it can be a real bugger to get back in its proper positioning. Because when you really put the tight to it sometimes it will move when you do not want it too.

Great. Now you jinxed it…. People are gonna come to expect it now…

 

[wingrider1800]

Great conversation. I need to remember about the set screw. That is definitely useful CZ talk.

I used a pick to put pressure on the spring in the opposite direction while tightening. It kept wanting to turn the spring in that direction without doing this. All secure and have now racked and dry fired 200 times without issue. Should be good to go, but will definitely be checking that screw every so often.

Thanks so much for the help

You probably already know this, but an oring or foam earplug works well for dry fire on the hammer fired CZ handguns.

Just don't forget to take the foam earplug out before you go to a steel match. It is embarrassing to be called to the line and your pistol goes thud instead of bang.

Yeah. Did the o-ring trick.
