Those springs?

Try something lighter than the factory hammer spring. Wolff will have a variety available.

www.gunsprings.com

20lbs. is considered factory spec for the 9mm, and they have 15,16,17,18,and 19 lb. springs, plus some higher.

Don't go too far below the recommended factory weight. I'd order a 17 lb. spring and a 16lb. and try the lightest first. A 15lb spring would lighten the trigger considerably, but may not have enough force to ignite all primers.

Try it with your regular ammo, and anything else you might use -- or, if it's primarily a range gun (not used for carry or home defense), just shoot it and keep the original spring for replacement if it doesn't work right.

Getting the old spring out takes three hands. There's a little tab on the bottom of the mag break that complicates things. (Check the parts diagram in the manual.) I simply take that tab off (break it off with pliers.) The mag break will still work perfectly, and it makes getting the main spring out and back in much easier.

Twmaster, no, that's my SP-01 Phantom.

Cearbhall · September 20, 2011, 01:33 AM

Not having a .40 cal. pistol was a good reason to bring this one home today. I have a 97B and a 75B SA as well. I'll take it to the range tomorrow.

Roinex · September 23, 2011, 01:53 AM

My first CZ and my first handgun. Just brought it home today, an 83 in .380

Are there truly all-stainless CZ pistols? As in solid stainless-steel frames?

LongTimeGone · September 23, 2011, 02:17 PM

Bought this nib last weekend.
Grips are cocobolo from CZCustom.

Fastcast · September 23, 2011, 06:13 PM

Nice shooter!....That's a beautiful compact LongTime.

Far as I know the CZ 75b stainless is.

It is , isn't it.

It is my new favorite pistol, replacing my BHP for now.

Turn off your caps lock. Typing in all capital letters is the same as yelling. You wouldn't yell through a whole conversation. Don't use capital letters for a whole post.

Plus it is hard on the eyes.

no kidding it hurt just getting through half of that statement

armoredman · September 29, 2011, 01:09 AM

Considering he used lower case for the first letter of each sentence, I suspect caps lock was on by accident.

Longtime, that's classy, form and function.

Reddragon1260 · September 29, 2011, 02:15 AM

I have a question what do you guys like more cocked and locked or decocker for CC since I have a P-07 I can not decide

MikeNice · September 29, 2011, 05:03 AM

I carry my P-07 with the decocker. I found the safety a little too small. I had trouble hitting it solidly everytime.

armoredman · September 29, 2011, 04:04 PM

Decocker, all of them.

+1 on that. I grew up on Sigs, etc. with decockers so all of my CZ pistols have them too.

larryh1108 · September 29, 2011, 06:08 PM

I never owned a pistol with a decocker until I bought the PCR and then the 40P. I do love them. Previously I wouldn't consider a decocker but now they have their place and perform wonderfully.

Armchair Bronco · September 29, 2011, 06:24 PM

I have a CZ 452 Scout 22LR rimfire. It's one of my favorite target shooting guns. I use it all the time with my boys. They like the short 12" LOP stock; when I use it, I strap on a Pachmayr leather recoil pad to take the LOP out to 14".

I also installed the Brooks trigger kit and have some scope rings, too. What a great gun; if I were a cowboy, this is the gun I'd want to have strapped to my saddle.

armoredman · September 29, 2011, 07:04 PM

Yeap, that's my son's favorite rifle, straight shootin' iron!

I bought a Scout a few years ago for the Grandkids to shoot. I have to admit that I've taken in on walks around the property. Short LOP, but it's light and extremely accurate.

To "fix" the short LOP on the Scout when I shoot it w/ my boys, I just strap on one of these:

That's a neat idea.

Here is my newest. The CZ 75 Shadow T that I had converted to Single Action only.
