I don?t think you have a problem then.
Just a nice short reset trigger.

I would go shoot it and see how you like it.

There's definitely a problem. Were you able to watch the videos?

I have about 10 weapons that reset pretty much right where yours does. The short reset is $72 worth of parts.  I am sure you can go back to the factory reset if that setup is uncomfortable for you.  I personally like them that way.

that's the problem with mine, the trigger doesn't hit the reset point. I can pull the trigger before it hits the reset and the hammer will drop.

Mine did the same thing when I installed my CGW Pro Kit.  Normally, the trigger bar should ride the bottom of the FP block lifter on the return stroke until it's moved back far enough to clear it and "snap" up.  As you pull the trigger,  the right-rear side of the trigger bar pushes the FP block up, then the left-rear side of the trigger bar contacts the front of the sear leg.  Since the FP lifter and sear leg are on opposite sides of the sear cage, I made sure my trigger bar wasn't tilted and that the trigger bar lifter spring legs were riding evenly in the grooves.  On mine, the leg of the sear was too long (or the bottom surface of the Short Reset FP lifter was too short, or the trigger bar rear surfaces were uneven, etc), so the trigger would return a tiny bit forward, then I'd hear a faint click as it snapped off the sear leg and hit the bottom of the FP stop lever.  I could then pull the trigger and drop the hammer, but the FP block was still blocking the pin.  I hit the bottom of the sear leg with a few strokes of a stone, then 1200# wet sandpaper, and reassembled testing the trigger.  It took about three rounds of stone, sand, & test before the trigger would reset on only the FP lifter.  While I was at it, I stone/sand/polished every bearing surface to give a glassy smooth pull and reset.

Here's a terrible illustration of what I'm talking about.

I called Scott at CGW this morning and he knew immediately what the issue was. Trigger bar spring.
   Tok36 and Earlan357 were correct. Scott sent me a tutorial on how to fix the problem and after a 5 minute spring adjustment, the gun is functioning perfectly.
Thank you to everyone who replied, there are a lot of very knowledgeable and helpful people here and your help is very much appreciated.  .

Glad you are fixed up.  We tell folks everyday that the CZ system is rather complex.  We do our best to check each one and make the adjustments necessary to ensure reliable, durable operation. 

That's why we are here to help when something out of the ordinary happens. 


Stuart,

Thanks for the comments, we send folks to you often as well and have the greatest respect for you and your crew.
