Shots were made at 10 yards in the testicles with doble taps, 15 yards center mass, 25 yards in the head. Dont blame the gun for those missed shots, that was totally me, im a beginner shooter and never shot with a cz before. My question is, what components will improve my SA trigger? I mean remove creep, pull and reset. I know CGW exists but i wonder what parts specifically work on the SA trigger. I like the trigger fine but its not as predictable as my glock 17. Thanks for your replies.

Install a CGW hammer to cure the creep and to smooth out the SA trigger pull.  If that isn't enough, go to a 15 or 17 lb hammer spring.  Or make both changes at the same time.  Videos here.

I have two P-09's and one P-07 and the hammer and hammer spring seem to be the best improvements for the least dollars.  You can also do some polishing and smoothing, but the hammer is the main change, in my opinion.

Thanks Joe, CGW recommends also changing the firing pin spring when changing the hammer spring, is it really neccesary though?

PD: Shots made using 127gr magtech jacketed round

Yes, and the extended FP is also recommended as part of that upgrade, as well, to insure reliable ignition.

I bought the CGW pro kit, installed it myself and i love it.  Made a big difference in the trigger assembly.  Double action pull too me wasn't lightened up as much as i would have thought,  but its supper smooth and consistent now.  The hammer swap to me was the biggest change as it has no creep and breaks like glass on single action.  Like the short reset kit but too me it wasnt something i have to have now that i installed it.  Too me the biggest upgrades were the cgw hammer.  Would also reccomend a cgw trigger return spring

All the CGW kits for the p-series guns shouldn't be hard to install. Some simple hand tools, some basic mechanical skills and paintence is all that is needed. Joe L has some great videos on YouTube showing how to dissemble the P09 (I used them when I was polishing mine up and adding performance parts)

Also the rear sight seems to be little moved to right, and for some reason the dovetail to put the rear sight is wider on the left side, is this normal? i saw another p09 with this... It still seems to hit the target properly tho.

PS: I also add the sights have no play, so its locked tight
