trigger standards for CZ
« on: June 21, 2021, 03:13:12 PM »
In a weak moment (I have a lot of those) I bought the CZ 75 45th anniversary  model. It came with what I thought was a well below standard quality trigger action, which the seller agreed was not up to what the standard 75
was showing in their store.
So I filed a complaint, CZ sent me a return label, ran it through their warranty group, did a trigger job on it
and now it has a very good trigger action.  Not in the  class of Shadow 2 or Orange 2, but quite acceptable.
A fair amount of travel before hitting the wall, but then nice and crisp. 
Thought the group would like to hear about this. 8)

This has been discussed before. The anniversary models where intended as most guns of this type as collectibles/safe queens so I doubt there was much attention paid to trigger feel going through QC. You're simply lucky CZ took it back on their dime and fixed it being you are not the original purchaser but then CZ generally has a better than average customer service dept.

fwiw, a friend that has one of the earlier anniversary versions let me shoot his.

i can say that the trigger on his was definitely better than an OTS CZ.

Don't have an anniversary model of any kind.

But the two worst trigger CZ's I ever bought were the two CZ75 Compacts with the P01 style frames they sold some of a few years back. 

Absolutely UGLY.  Draggy, gritty, bump, stop, drag, bump, stop and finally they would drop the hammer.

Hope I never buy another one like that.  Fixed one by converting it to SAO.

Nothing is perfect 100% of the time.
I just keep wasting time and money on other brands trying to find/make one shoot like my P07 and P09.  What is wrong with me?

The triggers vary greatly between models and same models (all metal CZ's).  I had four CZ's that had ~3/8" take-up before the trigger break, and I had/have six that have about an 1/8" take-up. I sold all the 3/8" ones and kept the 1/8" ones.

As has been stated, factory CZ 75 variant triggers can be all over the place. I believe that it is unlikely that it has to do specifically with the anniversary addition. Glad to hear that CZ USA fixed it up for you though. May it run flawlessly.
Will work for CZ pics! (including but not limited to all CZ clones)

Your first sentence didn't clarify that it was actually new so I assumed you got it second hand. At any rate it's good that CZ tuned it up. Do you plan to fire it?

I don't plan to fire it at the moment. I have two other CZ's which are sure nuff target guns that I will be trying to hit bullseyes with.  At some point I may be tempeted, but it is almost too pretty to shoot.
