Cz tactical sport orange trigger change...trigger too light
« on: December 01, 2016, 01:34:48 AM »
Tried to change the plastic trigger on the tactical sport for a cz flat trigger...doesn't work
Guess the undercut on the handguard has to do with it...the trigger touches the frame.

Next triest the cz trigger with the rounded undersite,it fits.

Also tied to instal a czsp01 shadow trigger return spring ,you can do That with the new trigger.
Too bad it not  working...the ts spring pushes the triggerbar up,so it fires.
The sp01 shadow trs spring pushes the bar down,so it woont fire.

Annyone an idee to make the trigger pull hevy?
Cant find a stiffer trigger return spring.
Don't know the original weight on the ts orange mainspring, mayby i Will try the original sp01 shadow mainspring.

Put a heavier mainspring in the gun.

Agreed, heavier mainspring is the only real option to increase the trigger pull weight.  Since the slide will be pushing harder against the hammer in recoil, you may want a lighter recoil spring to keep the action in balance.  I wouldn't worry too much about it unless you're having ejection issues.

TS's are known for their light trigger pulls...everyone I've seen (including the 2 I own) are sub-2 lbs.  You might consider getting about 1K rounds downrange before you make any adjustments.  The TS Orange I have was set up perfectly from the factory, it'd be a shame to ruin the perfection!

What trigger pull weight do you want? 3lbs? 4lbs? More? What weight you want will determine what u need to do.

I guess you come from striker-fired pistols and the TS-trigger feels too light to you? The Tactical Sports is a sports gun - not for self defense and for sure not for being carried. It?s trigger would be way too light for that. But for sports it is perfect once you get accustomed to it: There is no need to "squeeze" or "pull" the trigger, you just apply minimal force while being perfectly on target (in theory). Most folks invest into parts and labour after being allowed to shoot such a fine trigger on somebody else?s weapon.
My recommendation is to give the stock gun and yourself some time to get used to it. You could use a heavier hammer spring if the trigger still feels too light after 3-4 visits to the range. The part is cheap and easy to change.

You can also bend the trigger return spring to increase the preload.  It probably wont last forever but it will increase the pull weight a little.

Oh and if you can't live with the trigger, I will be happy to take the pistol off your hands!  :)

I had to adjust the flat trigger to fit a TS.  It was a bit too thick.

Tanks for the reaction guys.

This is my new ipsc / steelplates gun, knocks down the plates harder and faster in .40

Before i used a cz sp01 shadow,sa trigger.9 mm A Great shooter.
 Shot a steel plates match last weekend with the
tactical sport, i was dissapointed.
Would have been a lot faster with the shadow.

Like you said, need to get used to the tactical sport,and shoot a lot more with it.

The reset was much better with the aluminium trigger,louder and felt it better

I have heard the the sear spring from a Tanfoglio fits but is heavier/stiffer than a CZ one, so folks do that to increase SA trigger break weight.

Heavier main spring will make a lot of difference in trigger in DA but not much on SA. TSO is single action only so the most effective way to increase trigger pull is by installing a heavier/stiffer sear spring. It will make a huge difference in the trigger pull.

Agreed on this being close to perfection. It?s funny how after shooting plastics for so long you pick up a TSO and almost can?t imagine how it could be any better. Than like anything you get used to it and if your like me time to personalize a little. A wider safety a spring or two and not much more to improve. Can?t imagine going back at least for anything competition related.

Tanfoglio sear spring. I have not used it, but it is 4 coils in tanfo spring vs 3 coils in CZ sear spring. Should give a few ounces(4 to 6 ounces maybe?) if I were to guess.
or
two sear springs instead of one (will need to open up the width in the sear a bit to allow both springs to fit). This gives about 35 to 40% weight increase. I have done it. Trigger weight went up by full 1 lb: from 2 lbs before the mod to 3 lbs after the mod (measured in the mid of trigger)
Life is too short to waste on a bad trigger pull
