To use CGW's Reach Reduction Kit or not?

[tdogg]

So everyone is on the same page, this is a snippet of an email I got from CGW a while back on this topic:

"RRK benefits are with the hammer lowered all the way down.  RRK does not affect the trigger position at half cock."

So this being the case, is this product worth using to most people that have it? It requires the user to manually lower the hammer instead of using the decocker. Also, while using the decocker does leave the pull longer, a good chunk of that has next to no resistance.

I know whether to use or not is very subjective. However, I also know this product if quite popular, but honestly wondering if that's because lots don't learn these fun facts about the product until after they purchase, as they're not revealed until reading the instructions that accompany the parts (this is what happened with me).

That said, do most folks that have this installed on the DA/SA version make use of it? Has it made your DA shots better/ faster than half cocked? I realize the intention of the product is to make the trigger easier to reach, but I dont have any issue there, so not sure if I should bother or not.

Thanks!

So it provides the same short reach to the trigger when fully hammer down and decocked.   Only when decocked there is some additional pre travel before actuation.   Makes sense. 

I guess if you have stubby fingers and need reach reduction you are happy either way.

I haven't played with it because i have xxl hands and generally need to increase my reach with thicker/ fuller grips.

Cheers,
Toby

Ive not confused about how it works. Other seemed confused about what I was asking— perhaps I didn’t describe clearly enough.

What Ive been asking is if it’s beneficial and worth using.

As I stated in my previous reply, it’s beneficial if you have small hands or short fingers  .

How would any of us know if it's beneficial to you? It appears that you want to say that it isn't beneficial and worth using...and that's ok if you've come to that conclusion. The product does what the manufacturer claims, but there are side effects as is often found when modifying hand guns.

It may be a benefit when:
The user has small hands/short fingers and shoots from hammer down.

It may not be a benefit when:
The user has large hands or shoots a de-cocker model CZ.

If it's not a benefit, then it's not worth using.

Asking opinions/ if something seems useful on products is pretty common on gun forums— is it not here?

What Earl is saying is that your question is very subjective.  He and others already listed what the benefits are and whom they would benefit the most.

The question to you is, Do you have any issues reaching the stock trigger when the hammer is down?  Of not, this will have little to no benefit to you.

One benefit from the RRK is that it will remove some of the pre travel take-up in SA. 

The trigger set screws will eliminate the trigger pre travel and over travel once you get it adjusted correctly.
