    CZ PCR - all fixed up.

    I got my PCR out a few weeks back. This PCR was sitting at my FFL for over 6 months. I acquired it in the middle of SSE thinking it was off list. I soon found out it was on list, so it sat around while a ran other SSE pistols until the end of the year.

    This is my first CZ75 Compact. So far i have only had a chance to shoot it a few times. It is clear it is going to take some practice for me to adjust to the size and weight of this pistol versus my the full size steel CZ's i usually shoot. I like the feel of it so far, just need more range time. Ill post some targets if i shoot some worth posting. I am going to stick with the stock sights for now. I blacked out the rear and repainted the front sight white to make the sights easier to focus.

    I also had the chance to work on my first CZ decocker. I managed to avoid taking apart the sear cage using the CGW slave pin. Getting the sear pin out took some hammering. Reinstalling the FPB lifter arm spring was the most time consuming part of the install. Next time around when i go back in to touch up the polishing i will likely take the sear cage apart for fun. Hopefully this maneuver will not end up kicking me in the face.

    The serrated trigger is not bothering me so far, i have heard a few peoples dislike of this trigger. Due to the indentation in the aluminum compact frame i could install Nill grips without the decocking lever hitting the grips while decocoking the pistol. On a full size CZ decocker, Nill grips are no go if you want to retain the function of the decocking lever and not damage the grips.. I have always liked the look of this particular CZ model. I am glad i finely got it out. So far it feels as good as it looks.

    Here it is stock.


    I installed the CGW SRS Kit w/ T.2 Disco, D/C - Race hammer, Floating trigger pin, Extended firing pin w/ light spring, Compact Nill grips. Ill be using ether a 13 or 15# Hammer spring. I am testing out the 14# recoil spring atm, but i will likely run the stock recoil spring in this pistol.

    Oooh that does look sweet! I haven't had a chance to shoot a PCR or P-01 yet, but one of them are next on my list.. Looking forward to your opinion on that thing after some range time!

                    What kinda rear sights are those? Almost looks like they are on backwards or something.

                    edit: oh Factory PCR sights. Weird looking.

                      What is it about CZ that they seem to be able to make such great guns? My PCR is my favorite compact, my 75B SA has a trigger that rivals 1911s, and my 75B in 40 S&W is the best pistol platform I have found for that round, and is a total joy to shoot. And if not for the dumb "1 in 30" rule, my 97B would be in jail right now!

                      Perhaps due to my heritage (Czech and Austrian) the guns just fit me right??? Now all I have to do is learn how to dual wield a CZ and a Steyr (or Glock) and I'll be all set!

                          Nice! Looks like you did a better job with the FP lifter spring than I did. I last two a few nights ago and am now waiting for more in the mail. Did you use nail polish to black out the rear sites?

                            Nills give your PCR a James Bond level of formal wear. Nice work Tok. How's the reset now?

                              Thanks all.

                              CAGLS - The reset is much like my other CZ's with T.2 discos, shorter than i have the skill to take advantage of. By chance or because of the serrated trigger this pistol has almost no over-travel in the SA without a set screw. Another interesting aspect of the PCR for me is the way the aluminum frame effects the feel of the trigger. I can tell the disco is rubbing on aluminum rather than steel. It was a bit smoother in the DA than most of my other stock CZ's. The reduced weight changes the feel of the pistol more than i anticipated.

                              Catalyst81 - i did manage to murder a FPB lifter spring while installing it. Cracked it rite in half while driving the sear pin back in. Luckily i had extras on hand. For the rear sight i dug the stock paint out of the holes and blacked them out with a sharpy. It still needs some work but when holding the pistol out in shooting position all i see is a black rear notch. The PCR stock rear sight is wacky but it dose provide a slightly better sight picture than a stock 75B sight for me. I may have to change them out down the line. I am going to hold out and try and make this work first.

                              tmh1- Nice collection. Fun picture. Gotta love 1-30.......... I am waiting to DROS my next CZ as well.
