New P-07 Trigger Pull

[mshane]

My P-07 arrived in KC yesterday and I received an e-mail stating they have the pistol and will be taking a look at it.  Then the obligatory 4-6 week return time statement which is just fine.  Once I talked to them on the phone I had a prepaid overnight Fed-ex shipping label in 45 minutes.  I may not be pleased with the pistol as I received it but to this point their customer service has been on top of things for sure and I can't complain in the least about that.  As a side note I am more than happy with my P-01 and SP-01 tactical.  The quality of those two pistols are what led to my sending the P-07 back.

Hopefully they treat you as well as they did me.

Well the P-07 is back from CZ.  The response was "no problem found, adjusted double action"  The hammer movement to the left on trigger pull is noticeably less than before but there is still a slight bit of movement left before it starts back.  Took it out this afternoon and put 200 rounds through it and it functions fine so all's well that ends well I guess.

Now to get those CGW parts ordered and start my gunsmithing career.  I think with Joes youtube video and a little patience I can handle it.  If I somehow monkey it up then I will take it to my friend who is a smith and have him make it right.

Thanks for all your guys input.

mshane, thanks for the update.

Mine is still there, they received it on 05-04. I'll post with update once I get it back.

I had some frame rubbing with my hammer in DA. The pull was very rough so when I pulled it apart to add some Cgw parts, I shaved a small amount of the polymer next to the hammer. The pull is much better now. 

Also I believe there will always be some inherent pull to the left. The omega system uses only one point of contact on the side of the hammer to engage.

Update -  Received my gun back from CZ-USA:

"Description: Hammer side to side play (See Previous Post Above)

Work Performed: Function tested and test fired good. firearm is normal and functioning properly. The hammer is not making physical contact with the right side of the slide and no unusual wear is occurring. Sending back."

Everything checked out good, no need for any repairs.........

Ok. At least they actually fixed mine.

Literally just got my czp07 Urban gray today. Same issues that you describe but doesn't appear to be rubbing. I'm just going to leave it as is. Hell it was cheaper than my glocks so I'm not sure I expect perfection. Can't wait to shoot it.

I believe you're correct on the "oversized pin hole". When I removed the pin that holds the hammer and hammer strut together, it came out without any resistance. I was very surprised because I read in other posts how hard that pin is to remove, but mine just slide in and out, no tool (Roll Pin Punch) required.

The P series hammer strug pins are not very tight.  Mine have all been just snug, not tight like the 75 and 97 guns.  May have something to do with whether the strut pin is captured for the entire stroke of the hammer or not.  Don't believe it is in the earlier guns, so a pin that moves would jam the gun. 

It would have to be loose fit on the hammer pivot pin that the hammer rotates on that would allow the wobble we are seeing, plus the hammer being too narrow.

I'd like to add my bit of experience with this as to hopefully help out any future owners. I had very slight rubbing on the left side of the hammer from the factory. I ended having to sand the polymer around the hammer VERY slightly and had a decent double action pull (Well after the CGW parts).

A few weeks ago I had serious binding and while the hammer was pulled down for single action it would sometimes "stick", resulting in a dead trigger.  Turned out to be the hammer strut pin had walked its way out and had been rubbing on the hammer cage. I contacted CGW and asked about this and if it was common, Daved was extremely helpful and patient with me on the phone. He mentioned that most likely the rear hammer cage is slightly out of spec on some of these guns, and I tend to agree.

I called CZ and after much discussion customer service said that their fix for this would be to stake the hammer pin. They stated that this is very common on the steel 75 pistols and that it is done on all pistols as they have left the factory. Customer service was friendly altogether and I opted to just stake the pin myself and since then have had no other issues with the hammer sticking back. 

I would really like a new hammer cage, but at least for me CZ would not sell me the part. I believe the gun now is 100%.

Point of this story....Check your strut pin!!!!!!!
