CZ Adjustable Sear in BETA

You better make absolutely sure they engage the disconnector properly. If not, you, and the person you send it to, are likely going to jail for a LONG time for making a "machine gun".

I would love to try one I have a cz 75b and have been wanting to get a comp hammer for it but was a little worried about sanding down the leg to make it all fit, how do I sign up? Thanks

I cant believe more people haven't jump on this so here a free bump

I don't suppose the part works in the Omega series guns? (Probably too much to ask.)

I believe the sear is different in the Omega guns.

The main advantage to this sear is if you are installing or fitting a new or modified hammer.
Which usually results in a change in the relationship of the sear and the safety that blocks the sear movement. As Schmeky explains his part is adjustable and makes easier this process. instead of modifying or having to replace more parts.

Will this work in the 75 COmpact model and/or the 40P model? Thanks.

From the sounds of it this sear should make installing a comp hammer very easy. When fitting the sear on my 75 sa I had to put it in and out of the gun over and over until I filed enough material off. With an adjustable sear you can put it in once, adjust it and you are done. Mark

If I were able to shoot more often I'd jump on this but I wouldn't be a useful beta tester at this time. I do wish to keep an eye out though for this and other things you may have in development.

Too bad. My Compact is the PCR which has a decocker and my 40P also has a decocker. Would have been fun!

I can't wait to do some Beta testing been working on reloading this week

Hey sounds great!!! can't wait to try it out.

How difficult would it be to put the comp hammer onto a CZ75 with one of these? I'm very mechanically inclined but never taken apart my CZ75 before (other than new mainspring).

phoenix79,

The main problem with doing a hammer upgrade with a CZ is the slightest change in the hammer hooks affects the sear safety leg geometry. This means your manual safety will no longer work. Not good.

The only recourse is to tediously file and fit the sear safety leg. Sometimes you hit the sweet spot, many times you ruin the sear. A few thousanths of an inch is all you have to work with.

The adjustable sear will make any hammer upgrade a "drop-in" proposition. It will completely eliminate the guess work and tedious fitting.

I am shipping out the first batch of beta sears on 3-3-11. Hopefully I will get good input. If so, I will soon offer the sear by itself, or in a trigger kit that will allow most anyone to successfully drop-in an excellent CZ trigger kit.

Schmeky, while I think it's great you're doing something like this and testing out possible goodies for CZs, modding the sear's safety leg to work with an aftermarket or modified hammer's different-than-stock angles is in reality just a good way to give yourself a headache... Yeah it's a PITA, and as you probably know, it's not the ONLY way, which is why most just fit the safety which is easy as pie and takes 10mins tops. Yeah, usually you'd want to alter the cheaper part first, but in the case of a CZ when talking about the difference between a $9 sear and an hour or so of cursing assembling/disassebling and then reassembling the sear-cage vs. working 5-10mins with a file/stone on the $35 safety that's simple and easy to take in and out and hard to mess up, I'll take the safety method every time.

That said, figure out how to make thin grips that are light and inexpensive too (maybe plastic or even kydex?), and you may be buying a new boat before the summer is through!

schmeky,

Are you going to design one for a de-cocker, (PO-1) this thread is making me envious.

More pics

With Schmeky's permission, I am posting some pics of the installed sear in my 75B-SA. The sear install is very simple, and included adjustment instructions worked perfectly. Since I've worked on my CZs in the past, the install took all of 15min, by simply field stripping, removing the safety levers, removing the sear cage, replacing the sear. My factory hammer has been worked on, and it still has a very nice 1.5# pull after the install. My firing pin block lever has been removed, as the pics will show, and a spacer installed, so the sear was easier to install because of this, but a factory setup wouldn't be an issue if your carefull to not loose the FPB lever and tiny spring off the sear pivot pin as you swap the sear. Not sure if a competition hammer would actually help my pistol since my hammer has been recut, but this sear would be a perfect addition to the job.

Is this still available? How many rounds would you like to see tested?

I have a SP01, so I'm pretty sure it would fit. Would love to find out more, so if this is still available feel free to PM me. If not, best of luck.
