CZ75B vs BD in regards to trigger work?

[xxxx]

I have heard it is more difficult to do trigger work on a CZ with a decocker rather one with a safety, is that true?

[Par5In2]

Yup.

Sell it and get a safety version.

I've owned both, I still have the decocker. Send it to CZ Customs or Cajun Gun Works and they will take care of you.

Are you trying to infer that that the decocker version is not more difficult to smooth out the trigger?

It is more difficult on the decock models. If the weight of the trigger pull is what concerns you, I would get the SPGK1 spring kit from Cajun Gun Works. It will reduce the trigger pull in DA to 8 or 9 lbs, and shave a negligible amount off the SA pull. I've installed it on my 75 compact and it has dramatically improved the trigger in that gun. I also have one on order for my PCR, the kit works in both safety and decock models. I would replace the firing pin retaining pin with CGW's spring steel unit while you're at it, the factory units are known to break sometimes, especially with excessive dry firing and you'll have to remove it to install the kit anyways.

Other than that, I would put a couple thousand rounds through the gun before I did any actual trigger work. CZ's take a little longer to "smooth out" compared to other DA/SA pistols in my experience, but they do smooth out.

For me, it was very difficult to reassemble the BD. The B was a piece of cake.

It's not that bad when you use a slave pin to hold all the springs together, then push out the slave pin with the sear spring pin. You can use the main spring plug pin #23 in the CZ 75 diagram. It helps to take a pic of it assembled especially the underside of the assembled sear cage to refer back to.

If you've never worked on a CZ before, then yes, it is more difficult simply because there are more parts in the sear cage.

Otherwise, if you're familiar with the guts of a CZ 75, they aren't extremely hard to work on - just have to know the tricks to it. I started out with a decocker model. It just takes time, a lot of patience, and spare parts.

^^What those two guys said.

Your best bet may be to to go review the available guides to establish if i is something you want to do.

Major differences. In a safety model the sear cage is held in the frame by the safety lever shaft. The sear cage is held together by the sear cage pin.

On a decocker the sear cage is held together and held in place in the frame by the sear cage pin. So when you remove a decocker sear cage pin the sear cage will come out of the frame but the sear cage parts will also come out of the sear cage. This is where the CGW slave pin comes in, it allows the sear cage to be removed as one peace like a safety model.

So in the end decockers are not more difficult they are actually more fun. Edit: There is also the perk that decockers generally do not have loose sear cages like many safety models that i have encountered. While this can be remedied in a safety model it dose require extra work.

Exactly. As long as you're not taking apart the sear cage, and use that slave pin, neither is more difficult than the other.
