Still a lot of pre travel in SA mode post Pro Package install.
« on: December 10, 2022, 12:55:55 PM »
Greetings. I installed the pro package in my SP-01 Tactical Decocker and it's definately helped the DA pull. However, my understanding is that one of the things this install is supposed to accomplish is remove a lot of the SA pre travel. Is this correct?

I'm working w CGW on this issue and they've been helpful, but it's the weekend and I have time to play w it so I thought Id post here as well. I see that others have posted pics/ videos but I dont seem to be able to or I would.

   In a CZ 75 variant with an intact Firing Pin Block (like the SP-01 Tac) there will always be some Single Action pretravel. This is because the FPB requires a certain amount of SA pretravel to function.

   The CGW Pro Package includes the Short Reset Kit (SRS) parts. These parts reduce the SA reset distance and SA pretravel while preserving the function of the FPB. To further reduce the SA reset distance, which then allows you to further reduce the SA pretravel, requires a non FPB CZ pistol. CZ 75 variant Decockers models require the FPB to remain intact due to their design and function. CZ 75 variant Safety models are differnt and can be obtained from the factory without FPBs or have their FPBs removed for the models that come with them. These non FPB safety models can then have their SA reset distance and pretravel reduced to the absolute minimum with the correct tuning.

   What i have attempted to explain here can be directly observed. If you fully cock the Hammer, then closely observe the rear of the pistol just above the Sear Hammer interface, then slowly press and release the Trigger without dropping the Hammer, you can watch the FPB Lifter Arm travel up and down. This FPB Lifter travel is taking place while you pull through the SA pretravel.

   If you have the SRS kit parts correctly installed in your SP-01 Tac, you have reached the minimum SA pretravel generally possible with this CZ75 variant decocker model.

Please see a video I took of this (I’m sure it will go viral 😜), and advise on if this should be expected or not, thanks!

This amount of SA pretravel looks normal for a CZ 75 variant with the CGW Pro Package installed.
