New 75b out of 10 day jail today.
(Corrected to 75b - April 3rd. My bad)
Shot 6 mags bone stock.
Now ready for Cajun Pro spice blend install.

Really needs a full length stainless guide rod.

Drilled for full length guide rod.
Testing 75b slide assembly on my sp01.
Will be testing a variety of recoil spring weights.

Looks like a fun build!
Thanks for checking it out.
I need my indoor hobbies to keep me busy.
Here's what I do when I'm bored. 😆
Buffing slide rails and internals.

Used this drilling rig for the guide rod hole.
Long small drill bit from backside.
Then final bit from front.
Hole polished to near mirror.
Some minor imperfections - done deal.

Test fitting the new old style cgw trigger and bar assembly. First challenge.
Darn rough and hanging up. :o Seems like it's the trigger tight in the frame.
Seems unique to my 75b. Nothing found here or on web.
Disassembled, inspected. Did some light polishing. Reassembled and still dragging.
A few drops of oil and the action went smooth. I'll disassemble and do a little more fitting before final.
-
Cajun Gun Works - Pro 75 manual safety kit install finished.
Loctite is curing on the CGW adjustable sear. Trigger set screws not in use for now.
Slapped on my sp01 rubber grips.

Hammer strut assembly required me to visit my buddy with a monster vise/anvil dealio. Needed a solid non bouncing surface to drive the hpins.
It was the most stressful modification. Knowing I could muff one or more components. $$ 😆

Average pull weight. Was around 4.75 out of the box.

I was curious how they compare.
The sp01 has the poly rod.
Stainless rod in the 75B.

13lb recoil. 13lb hammer.

I make mistakes along the way. ::)
Shot the trigger return spring across the room, once. Found it.
Lost the teeny lil hammer pin retention pin. Had to get creative and shorten an old Hpin to fit.
Looking forward to seeing how it shoots at the range. Horribly busy on Saturdays. :o
-
Nice job on this.
I especially like the full length guide rod. Every 75 I have is going to get that same treatment. What a difference it makes.

Thanks underwhere.
I did a late run to the range last night.
Shot a couple boxes thru both my sp01 and the newest 95b modded here.
I'm in love with the CGW adjustable sear/hammer performance. Very little creep compared to my sp01 with factory sear/hammer.
My sp01 has the $30 MCARBO trigger kit installed. Everything is acceptable....except the creep. So now the sp01 needs a little Cajun spice!

Installed Dawson sights

Cajuninzation of my SP01.
It was jealous of the 75b.
Setting up to drive the pin - without scarring the hammer. I drove the pin so I could just slip the hammer bar in onto the peg.

SP-01. Done deal. Cajun Pro.
Only difference - using the OEM trigger return spring in the sp01.
3lb avg. pull weight. Nice!
Just need Sights.

My Spice girls with Cajun Pro injections.
The 75b avgs 2.75lb pull weight, using the cgw reduced power trigger return spring.
Both Hammer springs 13lb
Recoil springs 12 and 13lb.

Your subject line "95b" made me wonder if there was a CZ model that I was missing!
I went through all of the pictures that you posted and still couldn't find anything "95b", so I presume you meant "75b" and it is just a typo.
You can go back to your original post and select "Modify" and correct your subject line.

CZ noob mistake for sure. I did not realize I could correct it. Corrected several posts.
I DO have a 97b on my wish list. Lol

To fix it on the thread, yiou need to go back to the FIRST post and correct it.
Also, the best rule of thumb for posting pictures is to resize them for about 900 650 pixels wide, this save a lot of left/right scrolling.
Thanks!
2023 Update: the Forum mods now want picture posts to be no wider than 650 pixels

Very good work, and thank you for posting pictures

I especially like the full length guide rod. Every 75 I have is going to get that same treatment. What a difference it makes.
What differences do you note? In the 1911 world, I don’t thing they make any difference other than a touch more muzzle weight.

Without it, the spring mangles and contorts within the dust cover, crunching along every cycle.
The half guide rod is 1911'ish.
With a full length guide rod assembly everything is more straight forward (literally).
Smoother cycling, no bunched up springs etc.
Now I don't recommend that people send their guns out to have this done... But if they are capable at home then I would put it on the list of to-do's.
It's enough of a pet peeve that I printed a 3D jig to drill the centered hole of the dust cover.

The added muzzle weight is a plus.
No difference while shooting that I can detect. I'm just a hobby shooter. A pro might say different.
Also read that full length is preferable if using non standard spring weights.

Good points underwhere.
Super cool that you 3d printed that jig!
I agree 100. Unless you can afford to replace your slide after failing - do not attempt.
-
Here is the thread where we go way too detailed on drilling for the guide rod, jigs, fitment, spring length. Etc.

looks like you are having fun with the CZs. I dig it, you gotta get a 97 while you can. get a safety model. How do you like the swampfox dot? I think they are great for the money, I don't have one yet but my pops in law has a couple. I'm waiting on the green ring AEMS from holosun.
-
The Cajun 75b.
Had to do some twerking on my trigger bar spring. I was experiencing the false/double reset dealio.
Initially the right side and left side appeared to match forum tech notes.
Right side a little higher than left when pulled out of the groove.
Left side would pop back down under the bar.
Problem solved after adjusting to increase tension on right side.
Thanks to the forum I knew what to attack.

Really happy with the Swampy dot. Now I can really see how much I shake and jiggle.
97b! Don't tempt me. ;D. Resisting the urge. Lol My shop still has a few @ 800!
Also have my eye on the 75 Compact.
This months purchase. Later today I take delivery of another new 75b. It's been in "10 day jail". Lol
Might need to sell my Cajun 75b to help finance future pewpews.

This Sunday my 2nd SP-01 gets out of 10 day jail.
-
Dang! I just love the looks of the SP-01!
those sights look like a great upgrade. I have a LPA adjustable sight extra if you ever want to try to "tune your load" for long range..
Looks like your having fun and great groups.
Do you focus more on fast fire or accurate fire?
Do those baseplates add round capacity?
What's next?

Baseplates...
No extra capacity with my 10 round mags.
I think they are +2 with non blocked mags.
So far a lot of accuracy and building muscle memory. Trying to eliminate my recoil anticipation. Lol.
Also working more fast fire, double and triple tap.
Next? $$$ Now I want a dot on a sp01. Checking with czcustom and impact machine for slide milling options for RMR mounted optic. Maybe holosun 507c.
Wanting a new 75 compact.
Amazing how quick 20 boxes of ammo disappears when I have 3 awesome pistols blazing. :o
-
LOL, you seem to have it bad. skip the cut and have the frame drilled.
https://forums.brianenos.com/topic/265569-cz-open-build-theory/page/13/
I'm dreaming of an AEMS mounted on the CZ97 but its gonna be a pain...
-
That's one creative and crazy frame mounted optic setup.
I'm considering a 97b while still available.
It would be my first
45. Ammo cost is a big deterrent.
Hope to hit the range today. Test new sights on the SP01.

Finally out of 10 day jail. Barely used SP01.
Bone stock. Has the (lousy) 3 dot night sights.

Swooped on a new 75 compact manual safety.

Golf ball G10 palm swells on the newest sp01. Indeed thicker and grippier than my other G10s.

Why do you want to seal the grip panels to the frame? It seems like a good way to get sealant in the magazine area. Plus it will attract dirt.
Just curious.

I can't be the only one with grips that do not fit perfectly flat and creak free. Lol
The gel glue acts kinda like a o-ring.
Fills in the crevices between grips and frame. I'm far too ocd/anal to allow the glue to cause any functional issues.
Easy to remove this gel glue, it never really dries. Rolls right off using fingers.

All of my grip panels fit, could it be an out of spec grip panel? The only grips I have had a problem with was one for a S&W revolver. Maybe just lucky.
-
Had to return a pair once because of horrible fit. G10 type. Not all of my grips get the gel. Only if they annoy me with movement. :P

That's a beautiful Bronco.
Dang! Still kicking myself for selling my 72 Blazer.
I have evolved to a 95 Chevy G10 van.

thx, I just got it running again. I passed a new bronco (legit model not he BS sport version) today doing 78mph in the 78, gave him the thumbs up.
look at this video BTW. note about halfway in he says to just use the CZ75 mags as they run better anyway. LOTS of great USPSA racegun stuff in here that carries over to the SP-01s.
when I get my stuff wired tighter, I gotta run the czs in limited or open minor. I still have a few more tweaks to them.
