I have a Kel-Tec Sub2000 (9mm) to which I've added a bunch of M-Carbo parts.  Great parts, turned a pretty-good weapon into something special.  (My son has a SIG MPX, and my Kel-Tec Sub2000 shoots right with it, for about 1/3 of the price.)   We both run the same red dot sight (SIG Romeo5) and my after-market and stock 30 - 33 round mags are a lot less expensive than the MPX Mags.

M-Carbo seems to be a class operation and they offer very good support for their products.  (Installing the spring kit in the Kel-Tec Sub2000 was not for the timid, but they have an excellent YouTube video that steps you through the process.) 

I don't know if M-Carbo's spring kits for the CZ compare favorably with CGW or CZ Custom, but I'll be interested in hearing about it here after someone gets a kit and tries it out.

I will give it a go for sure.

Nothing to lose for 20 bucks.

I'm a little skeptical of the 2lb SA pull with an OEM hammer.

video here at Full30
https://www.full30.com/watch/MDIxNTUw/cz-75-trigger-spring-kit---custom-cz-75-trigger-job-w-mcarbo-cz-75-accessories

Watched about half of it so far and it is nice that they made the video however just a couple comments on it so far.

Very poor video production. I'm no video editor, creator or anything of the like but I know how to watch a video...as does everyone else. The white background was a poor choice IMO. FOCUS... Really ! Really horrible focus at times. Either edit the video or re-shoot the scene in proper focus.

His gunsmithing tools/skills: Do they even know that there are punches made specifically for roll pins ? They are called "roll pin punches" and have a hemispherical boss on the end of the punch that fits in the hole in the pin. OK, get a heavier hammer, tap,tap,tap,tap...ad infinitum, could be reduced by a factor of 10. "Assembly tool" a plastic slave pin, very poor choice of materials for a slave pin (evidenced by it bending in use). Oh, and I guess calling it a "slave" pin might be politically incorrect. Call it by its proper name, forget about PC.

Sorry about the rant, it's just a video presentation like this makes me wonder about the company and its employees in general. Not that I wouldn't purchase a kit for that price, I do think it is worth a try but a better, more professional, video would go a loooong way toward increasing my faith in the company and their products.

Their rationale might be plastic slave pins work in guns that have plastic guide rods. CZ is a pretty reputable company. The guide rod is way more important then the slave pin.
This company makes a 20 dollar spring kit, they don't make movies. I watched it and could follow the instructions and understood what to do and what to do next. they never missed a step or got me lost in the process. That's what I want in a video. I didn't even notice the background. If I can make what they have do what it is supposed to do from the video I'm good.

I must be their demographic,

I don't see myself opting to save a couple bucks over Cajun parts. Something innovative like the Apex Tactical kit that offers something different could be worth trying though.

I have two kits on the way, and I thought he did a very good job with the video.  I contacted them about making it a ~3# SA pull, and I was told to use all the springs in the kit except the weaker firing pin block spring. I'm still undecided which way I want to go with that.  They do have one review posted now. My hunch is this kit is going to get many good reviews.

It's still better than NO VIDEO, which is what you get with most of the after-market kits for most guns...  (You'll probably see an improved video in a month or two, with some better tips, etc.)  And I'm not sure a lot of extra effort and production time in creating the video would be cost-justified for a product that has to have a pretty small profit margin for a company like M-Carbo.

I didn't pay much attention to the "production values" when I used their video for the KelTec Sub2000 upgrade package.   That was not a simple upgrade, given that the SUB2000 is a very unconventional  design -- but it worked very well.   (Note: I skipped ahead a time or two, thereby missing a tip or two, and ended up doing it again.  That is not an unusual practice for me.  I seem to think I don't need no stinkin' instruction manual or video for most guns -- at  least the first time through.)
