CZ Custom hammer vs CGW hammer

[Bug Splat]

I'm going to be adding more goodies to my cz97b SA and can't decide on which competition hammer to get. Has anyone tried either and can you tell me about your experience?

In the same boat I wanna know who does better work if you send it in too

My shadow came with the competition hammer, so I cant tell you what the differences are. My friend took his 97 and had the hammer changed then SA trigger only. It was a great shooting pistol.

I'm thinking either will be fine. I bought the cgw because they were in stock. Somewhere on the cz firearms forum, this was addressed, David at cgw designed his hammer with angles that matched the sear, I'm not sure if the comp hammer from cz custom is the same way. If you watch your hammer as you pull the trigger, you will notice that it cams back, with the cgw hammer and I'm guessing the comp hammer won't do this. Oh, also cgw is releasing a new sear next month that will match his hammers. My vote is for the cgw parts, takes about 2 maybe 3 days to get them.

The product itself is probably similar. I've done a lot of business with both companies. CZ Custom is the big guy and Cajun Gun Works is more like the local guy, but still has decades of experience. I think you get more personalized service from CGW and more attention to detail. Sort of custom vs. assembly line kind of a thing. Not that CZCustom is really to that degree or anything, but CGW is small enough to give your gun the attention that you would give it yourself.

My SP-01 used to have a CGW-modified Shadow hammer on it, and that was great. Now it has been switched to SAO and rocks a CGW Race Hammer. Trigger is GREAT. David tuned up the SA trigger and it's just awesome.

Thanks guys I think I will wait for CGW to come out with their matching sear and order the set. I do my own work so I will not be sending the gun to him. I might just order 2 hammers for my CZ PCR. I love playing dress-up

I installed the CZ comp hammer in my friends SP-01 and recently installed the CGW race hammer in my Phantom (decocker model).

Both are really great but I think the CGW hammer is slightly better. The SA trigger on my Phantom breaks like glass. There is no indication in the feel of the trigger it just breaks. I'm going to have to get used to it.

I want a comp hammer on my p01 and maybe a new trigger..

Last time I checked the only way to get a comp hammer from CZ custom was to send the gun in to them. CGW sells a decocker race hammer for the DIYer.

I was also wondering this. I have heard that CGW makes a slightly better hammer. Theyre coming out with a new sear in a month or so i think.

Isn't he still shipping them with the adjustable sear? Thats the best way to go IMO since you can dial it in a bit more.

Its the combination of hammer and sear work.

Can the sear be adjusted for reset? I thought it was just for adjusting the safety.

Reset has more to do with removing the firing pin block.

Sent from my fingers, to your face.

The P9 used to be the hot ticket for IPSC. 1.5 pound single-action only triggers used to be the norm. It shouldn't be too hard to find a gunsmith to set you up.
