To start, I got my SP-01 manual safety last weekend.  I took it to the range and shot it.  Wow!  With my 135 power factor loads the gun shot FLAT!!!  But the trigger could use some love.  I ordered a production legal trigger kit from Cajun Gun Works.  It got here yesterday and the wind is howling today.   Perfect time to work indoors.  I Brought up several forum posts about disassembly and smoothing the trigger, and set to work.  I carefully polished all the parts that were mentioned and installed all of the new CGW parts.  What a difference!!!!!  I don't have a trigger scale but it is MUCH better than before and nice and smooth.  Still waiting on some Dawson Precision sights.  I have the 10x bushing and will install it when I do the sights.

Lessons Learned:  I spread a towel out across a table in my office, not my shop.  Figured it might be easier to find lost parts in my office and its easier to look at the how to posts.

I used small slips of paper to make a label for each piece I removed, made reassembly much easier.

When putting the sear cage back together....Watch the springs!  I was glad i was on light colored carpet and had a big magnet.  I might buy a couple spares for the future.



If you have moderate tinkering skills and can follow directions this was a really great day project and well worth the effort.

My 1960's era giant speaker magnets have saved me a couple or three times. (Slow learner) :)

You'll enjoy the heck out of the action improvements when shooting!

Congrats.

Glad you got it all tuned up. I do most of my tuning on my computer desk in front of the computer, this set up comes in real handy.

Thank you for the pic.
Will work for CZ pics! (including but not limited to all CZ clones)

Sights came in the afternoon mail.  Some fitting and they are on/. Put the bushing in the freezer for a couple hours.  It pushed in relatively easily.  Dryfired for a while.... SWEET!

350 rounds through it today....  What a difference.  Totally worth it.

How difficult was it to remove the stock bushing? Did you need to clamp the slide on a bench vise? Tnx

I put an 11mm 1/4" drive socket in behind the bushing.  I but a large punch on the socket and braced the front of the gun on a block of wood.  Ensure that the bushing is not on the wood.  It took a couple sharp blows and out it came.
