Looking to convert cz75 to SA

[Par5In2]

Ducky I have installed mine today, I think i did all good, but I question, I tried the "pencil test", it did not shoot the pencil out, it just move a little bit, but on my TS it would fly out. Is this normal?....im also emailing David from CGW tomorrow.

Do you have the CGW ext FP? If so, that's the problem. The retaining pin channel isn't long enough. Either file it and increase the length, or order on from CZC.

I got the CGW, I'll have to try this out at the range before I'll do anything. Anyway which side do I have to file....and how much material?

^^I might refrain from cutting on your FP until you have identified a real issue. An anemic pencil test dose not constitute a good reason as i see it.

I would go shoot the pistol and see if it works before i cut on my FP.

For reference some of my CZs have weak pencil tests and the function fine.

Edit: you stated that you intended on shooting it first. Somehow i missed that.

The key is the hammer. Either the CGW or the CZCustom one is amazing.

However, you'll have to adjust either your safety or your sear, I think CGW sells an adjustable sear that makes the job 1000x easier.

I got the whole package, I adjusted the sear to get the safety function. I'll have to get some red loctite......I did talk to David @ CGW, he said pencil test does not always tell if it will function or not, he suggested to try it at the range.

David is always helpful! CGW customer service is great. I know that this issue will be taken cared off, if this is even an issue.

I have a question for you. You say our FP channel is not long enough on our firing pins.

Our FP protrudes .080" from the breech face at full stroke. Is this insufficient?

We discussed this with Stu awhile back on Enos's. No one could cure the light strikes in the non-shadow... until we lengthened the channel. CZC is longer, and when dropped in, cured light strikes.

Edit: I'll post the pics/findings once photo bucket gets back up, or you can cruise on over to Enos's.

You imply our FP's cause light strikes. This is patently false. Our FP's are reliable enough to be approved for Law Enforcement use. When used with the proper hammer spring(s), they work as designed.

To increase the retaining pin cut out means with the hammer lowered, the FP could be in contact with the primer, so if the firearm is dropped, an AD could occur. For competition use this is acceptable, but otherwise could be a liability.

Don't know, don't care. There are numerous threads going on Enos's (and have been) addressing how to "fix" the CGW FP channel issue as its related to light strikes.

You can't discuss or deny that 1. CZC sells a firing pin that works (as proven)... 2. Multiple people have had the same issue, and remedied by increasing channel length.

I have seen this put forth over on the BE forums a few times over the last year. So i believe we are reading the same stuff.

When i have seen this suggested in the past it was a last resort fix for people already using the lightest hammer spring that is available, the 8.5#. I have also never seen it suggested outside of a competition setting.

To suggest this fix to a guy after he tells you that he has a weak pencil test is reckless in my opinion. Due to the affect of this mod i would be careful where and who i suggested it to.

I commend your will to share information, but i question your judgment.

Bump for response... or are we done with this?

[Beegee]

alright, Update, I went to the range, shot 100 rnds. without any issues.
I am happy with the parts upgrade, such a sweet shooter!
So Thanks for the input, recomendations. But the pistol did not need anymore modifications than the drop in parts.

Man, this thing is sweeeeeet!

[Tok36]

Glad you got it worked out. If you can throw us a picture of the new CZ.
