SP01 Shadow - fire control - delayed / disconnected feeling
« on: December 19, 2024, 10:39:25 AM »
Greetings,  I have 3 CZs (85C, SP01 Shadow, S2).   Each have been worked over by CGW and are all great.  Except the SP01 feels like I'm driving a CVT or drive by wire car.  It feels disconnected, slow.  Like I pull the trigger and it feels like there is is an ever so slight delay in the hammer falling.  I'm not sure if the delay is further travel due to different hammer hook cuts or something else.

S2 is my favorite feeling trigger, the Race hammer is a bit sharp and does not look good (in my opinion).  The CZ85C with SP01 internals + hammer + ultra lite kit is amazing, just slightly behind the S2.  SP01 Shadow is good and much better than stock, but how can I make it GREAT?

Is the problem the CGW Ring hammer?  Are the hooks not the same between the Ring and Race hammer?  Am I being picky?

SP01 - CGW Pro package w/ Ring hammer.  installed by CGW
S2 - CGW Pro package w/ Race hammer.  installed by CGW
85C - SP01 Shadow left over parts, plus ultra lite kit; worked over by CGW.

I think I'm becoming a trigger snob..

All guns function properly in dry fire, range, and gun games.

Have you spoken to CGW about your concern? If they did the work then I'd give them the chance to address the issue.

It's difficult to troubleshoot via the internet.  I assume your lethargic hammer fall is only in single action?  Does the trigger have an over travel screw?  Is there a chance it is set too tight and it is somehow delaying the break?  To check it, hold the trigger back and rock the fully cocked hammer back and forth and visually inspect the hammer hook while also feeling if there is any contact.  There should be no contact between the hammer hook and sear while holding the trigger and rocking the hammer.  If you feel/see contact, then back off the trigger over travel setscrew and check again.  Rinse and repeat.

From what I understand the hammer hooks are the same on the CGW hammers, they just have different tops for different folks preferences.

Cheers,
Toby

I also have an SP01 and Shadow 2 done by CGW.  I don’t have any problem with the SP01 trigger.  I second the suggestion about contacting CGW.
