Cajun gunworks parts

[Bigkracka]

Just picked up a P10c and was looking at CGW parts for it. Are they worth it?  Or can I clean up the minor issues myself?

ETA:  whats the reasoning behind the t-block, and pivot pin?

I don't own a P10C but I have CGW's parts in all 7 of my 75 series variants. They are worth the money,they take your gun to a level that you cannot by just simple polishing or adjusting. Money well spent.

Depending on your expectations, yes, they are worth it.

The tool steel striker replaces the MIM stock striker which has been reported to break for some.   

I found the CGW trigger much more comfortable to shoot than the stock one, and when paired with the reduced power reset spring, the trigger pull felt crisper with a smoother reset.

When I upgraded mine I also installed the steel frame pins and the t-block + spring just because the parts were inexpensive. The mag pin was not yet available or I definitely would have installed that as well to address some of the extra resistance one feels with the mag release. Next time...

From a reliability standpoint, the striker is the only part I would consider a "must upgrade" but the other parts are nice to have, especially the trigger. I really did not care for the stock trigger.

Are the frame pins tighter fitting than OEM? They weren't available last time I ordered. One the 2.5mm pins walked about a third of the way out on my P10 the other day.

Yes, they seem to be... or perhaps just tougher. I thought the stock pins seemed a bit soft.

Thanks sOnspark. And as far as the OP's question, every one of my CZ's has Cajun parts in them.

I'd agree, I put the p10C package in mine....
not a huge transformation, I didn't expect one.
The trigger is notably improved, far less take up, a definite wall with very little over travel and short reset, all with a comfortable trigger.
To me, better quality parts = fewer odd's of a malfunction.

Thanks

I ordered CGW's sear spring, T block with spring, and mag release pin. Only part I would recommend is the sear spring. It improved the reset some, enough to justify the cost anyway.

I would like to try their trigger, but for the cost I can't justify it as the stock trigger is very good.

I've got the CGW trigger and striker.  The aftermarket triggers most notably remove some of the excess take up.  My stock trigger broke clean with minimal over-travel and reset, but I'll basically try anything CGW puts out!  I will say I like the shape their trigger better than the stock trigger or the HBi trigger (I own the original Theta with the "fangs" at the botttom).  Reset might be a LITTLE shorter on the CGW variant for my pistol, but honestly the P10Cs have a certain degree of variance to them.

Overall, I'm very happy with my CGW trigger, and the tool steel striker gives me peace of mind.  I'd say definitely buy the striker if you depend on this pistol for any reason. If the stock trigger is uncomfortable for you, or if you really value the small improvement, then the upgraded trigger is a good idea too.   

[Bigkracka]

The stock trigger is excellent out of the box. No reason to spend that much for small improvement.

A lot has been made about MIM parts, mostly overhyped. When done correctly MIM is fine, if not it usually fails quickly during testing/break-in.   Glocks have MIM strikers, never hear of those failing.  I think I've seen one aftermarket Glock non MIM striker, forget the company name.

Would I prefer gun makers stop cutting corners with MIM?  Ofcourse, but I'm not losing any sleep over it.

[s0nspark]

The key there is "when done correctly" ... There have been several instances of P-10C strikers breaking so I personally would not take the chance on a defensive gun. 

Also, I would only recommend the trigger upgrade if one had issues with the stock shoe or dingus. I found the CGW trigger imminently more comfortable. The other benefits are, perhaps, rather subtle...

I am not a fan of buying a gun and sending it in to anyone for unnecessary mods without shooting it first...especially just to "keep up with the Jones".  Most CZ firearms are more than sufficiently manufactured to be a very good self defense firearm.  They however, they can be improve on.  If a reduced trigger pull of a mere pound is vital to your peace of mind in a SD weapon, well go for it.   I am not in competitions any longer so, I have had no mods performed by CZ custom or CGW but, I have purchased a few parts they sell to install myself.  I have friends that have had work performed by these companies and honestly..... there is a vast amount of difference these companies can do to make a CZ or clone many times better than stock.  It all depends on your desires and what you consider your needs on your firearm.
