Question: CZ trigger pull difference

[cusco19]

i'm hoping fellow CGer that owns CZ can chime in on this.

what's the trigger pull differences; if any, between these models in both DA/SA?

CZ75 SP01
CZ75 SP01 Tactical
CZ75 P01

from my research it seems in DA it's 8lbs and in SA is 5.5.. not sure if the same same across the models listed..

thanks

in MY experience, those are all gonna fall around the same area, not much difference between them. Although, the DA on any of those stock models feels like more than 8lbs to me. Although, CZ triggers are known for varying widely out of the box, especially in regard to smoothness.

I have all 3 which are bone stock. The SA feels the same for 3 at 5lbs maybe tad more, but the DA seems heavier on my P-01 like at 10lbs.

If left stock, the D/A trigger pulls will feel just about identical. I believe the stock mainspring is the same weight across all 3 models. S/A pull weights will vary slightly.

I own a P01 and a SP01. Before even shooting any CZs, I always replace the mainspring to 11.5#, 13#, or 15# depending on how heavy I want the D/A pull.

I've got all three, although my SP-01 Tactical has a CZC trigger job so I'm pulling from memory. As far as I recall, all three are roughly the same. The P-01 might be a tad heavier on the DA, but that may simply be misperception.

I love all three of them, regardless.

Each pistol is different. I had one SP01 with a 12 lb DA and another with a 9 lb DA. Now both of them are at 5 lbs.

just put a hold on a P01.. getting excited now.

they had a SP01 with manual safety.. but i didn't like. i wanted the tactical version with decocker.. which they don't have.. so either way.. they grip the same and i'm sure i'll be happy with my very first gun

I think my sp01 has a 20 lb pull or somewhere close to that

Ok maybe I'm exaggerating that, but only just a little!

[cusco19]

20lbs.. lol...

....... or you could step up to a Shadow Target and enjoy it's trigger 'out of the box':

Probably not that big of an exaggeration. I'd put my SP-01 Tactical at well over 12 lbs. DA, maybe 14-16 lbs.? My friend has a safety version that's at 9 lbs. DA after a spring change, and mine is WELL over that.

Not a big issue in HD mode, but not great for target practice.

Ideally would like to CGW-it down to about 7-8 lb.DA and a 4 lb. SA

CONGRATS! The PO1 is a fine handgun!

However, since you're concerned about trigger weight... Most would agree that a stock CZ could use some help in the trigger dept. Just be aware that the decocker mechanism adds complexity.
That SP01 w/ manual safety has the potential for a smoother, lighter trigger pull...... simply because it does not have the decocker.

I'm sitting here testing the trigger pull on my stock PCR (which essentially is a P-01 without the rail). Wish I had a trigger scale, because it's DA is certainly well over 8lbs...

My P-01 came from the factory at about 14-15 DA. After some CGW love it's much, much better now.

Congrats on the P-01 OP! I really think the P-01 is well balanced to serve as multpurpose handgun. With that in mind if the DA is just too heavy for you a simple hammer/mainspring change and a simple polish job should be sufficient.

Totally not a fan of decockers and I am amused at the folks who don't like the manual safety versions.

I did some action work for a buddy who picked a Canik shark and his DA was almost 14 lbs.

After I was done, I had it down to about 7 lbs in DA, 4 in SA with an 11 lb mainspring. He kept getting yelled at for rapid firing at the indoor range. He also had a few AD's as well. So I tossed in a 16 lb mainspring and raised it it to a DA/SA of 9/5.5 lbs.

I forget that newer shooters lack proper trigger control.
