I only have one CZ pistol, an old-style 75B Omega which I got lightly used and has some issues (currently being worked out).
The old style Omega has the typical curved 75 trigger but it's colored black, and a non-swappable, single sided thumb safety.
Newer Omegas have ambi decockers and I believe you can swap those out for ambi thumb safeties if you wish, and the trigger has a flatter shape.
My Omega CZ75b came with a pretty different-feeling trigger, but apparently it's the norm based on another one I tried at a match.
The DA is typical service-pistol heavy (mine was 11 lbs 14 oz) and a bit gritty and stagey, but there's no stacking. It's usable, but not great.
The SA is very weird. There's no wall and there's lots of movement, but as it creeps through it just keeps creeping and then the hammer drops. Some people I've had shoot it really like it, and when going quickly it feels kind of like a very good Glock trigger that has a connector set up to remove the "wall." It's a rolling break.
Reset is longish, which is typical for standard DA/SA service pistols like this and the Beretta 92 and SIG P226.
I didn't really enjoy shooting the pistol due to the strange trigger (and the sharpish recoil, which is another subject) and the fact that it shot really high with the factory 3-dot sights.
I solved the POI issue with a Dawson front FO sight. Then I started having strange light strikes or no strikes from the DA stroke. I also started to have some weirdness in the reset.
I decided to install the Cajun Gun Works 75700 Omega trigger kit to see if it solved the issue. It did... for a few minutes. The CGW upgrade feel awesome. It comes with a new hammer, disconnector, safety lifter, firing pin, roller, and a bunch of springs (safety plunger, trigger return, firing pin, sear, mainspring, maybe some others).
It's not easy to install compared to swapping parts in a Legoglock, but I made a couple slave pins to help with trigger spring install (technically not needed but helpful) and the sear reinstallation and it went pretty smoothly. Apparently it's easier than messing around with the standard CZ75 type sear cage but I don't know that from experience.
Anyway the initial results were very favorable. The DA decreased to about 9 and a quarter pounds and is MUCH smoother and feels lighter than it is. The SA went from about 3.5 lb to a crisp, short 4.0 lbs, with a very short break and a very nice, shorter reset. Much more shootable. The pistol is currently back at CGW to hopefully sort out the weirdness (which as noted was present in the OEM pistol before the upgrade), but if anyone's interested I did a before/after comparison of the OEM vs CGW Omega trigger, with shooting impressions. If you're not interested, no biggie.
