Title: P-01
Post by: PM on August 12, 2018, 03:39:10 PM: Hi all,
I have a pro package decocker kit on the way from cgw. I have some experience working on my own guns and have built 1911?s and ar?s. Who has the best how to install the pro package? Watched a few on YouTube and the once I have seen are fair at best.
Tia!

The P01 is a pain in the bum to re-assemble from a full strip if you've not done it much before. You're really just doing a disassembly, replacing components, and polishing what needs to get polished.

Here's the pro package going into a 97 (https://czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=68850.msg477532#msg477532)
This is a popular decocker polishing tutorial (http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=504172)

You need something to act as a slave pin for the sear assembly since there are several tiny parts that require patience and no coffee in my system. Once the gun is disassembled and cleaned up, I can get it all back together in two hours including a break. CGW has slave pins for sale to make this easier on you. Have some tools--roll pin punches, tweezers, small needle nose, hammer, etc--goes a long way to making the process go easier.

Title: Re: P-01
Post by: katsu on August 28, 2018, 09:48:49 PM: I just did the install and found it to be extremely easy. I'd previously polished the gun, so it was just dropping in parts. The only hurdles I had were getting the firing pin roll pin out, and... I guess the new one in. I've heard some people need the disconnector fitted, but mine dropped in without a hitch.

It's fine and definitely better than before, but maybe because I'm coming from an already polished P01 I wasn't too blown out of the water with it. The reset and trigger pull are nicer but it still has quirks that bug me. I don't think I messed anything up, but I have no point of reference on how it should feel. Maybe I'm just being picky because of how over the top everyone's adoration for the kit is.

That being said, I'd still vote for doing the upgrade if you have the money to spare. I like it more than stock, I just don't OH MY GOD FREAKING LOVE it more.

My hat always goes off to the folks that have the patience to make a good disassembly/reassembly video. It's hard enough getting everything into place normally, and then add trying not to block the camera and keeping everything in focus. Ugh, not for me.

Post by: PM on September 06, 2018, 04:11:50 PM: Guess I should finish this out. Did a pro package with the trijicon sights from CGW and obviously new grips. The gun is awesome. Installing the kit and doing some polishing was fairly simple once I found the above video. The sear cage can be a bit tricky but not difficult if you have the proper tools and the PATIENCE.lol
I would put a pic up but cant figure out how to. I have it saved to my desktop but can't figure out how to get it here.
