Race or Ring Hammer?

[Texas377]

I notice in the Defensive Carry Package that Cajun Gun Works offers a RACE or RING hammer for the CZ 75.  Is it just a matter of style?  Are there advantages or disadvantages to either?

I was also looking at them. Can't decide which one to get. I like both.

I have the CGW race hammer that I run on my primary carry gun (CZ P01 w/ pro package) it runs great and is super easy to cock (something really only relevant for dry fire in my case).  On my back up carry gun, a standard P01 steel frame with the factory ring hammer,  I find the ring hammer more comfortable for carry, just because when I am bending over or walking a lot it is less irritating. Obviously this will depend a lot on your body type, carry position, holster, and whether you carry cocked-and-locked or decocked.  All in all, I would probably go with the ring hammer if it will be a carry gun just for that slight difference based on my carry set up.

If there are any differences in the trigger pull between the two CGW versions, I am not sure, I would imagine it is just the spur that is contoured differently but that would be a good question for CGW.

There are no performance differences between the two, you can specify with them in the comments of your order which you prefer.

I prefer the ring hammers personally.  It?s just the looks though, as I?ve found no difference in function.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that the race hammer style/shapes were designed to provide clearance/purchase area with certain types of rear sights?

I initially went with the race hammer but was getting hammer bite on my P-01. Probably due to my meaty hands and a combination of the less than stellar upswept beaver tail on this model. Wound up going with the competition hammer from CZ and it's been a definite improvement in that regard. YMMV No problem with my SP-01.

I like the look of the race hammer.
Just my opinion but it makes my gun look great.
Maybe just from my angle as a shooter but I like it.

In my opinion it is also much easier to cock manually.
The ring hammer is perfectly functional.

Thanks for all the opinions.  I will probably choose the ring hammer since it will be my carry weapon.

I run the stainless steel race hammer on my carry PCR. No one really sees my carry gun but the race hammer is a beautiful upgrade--In my opinion.

Race, I find it easier to manipulate.  Also its sexy as hell.

Ring would have less chance of snagging on cover shirt.
