Pro Kit Install Issue on mid 1990's CZ75B
« on: December 13, 2022, 01:50:10 AM »
Background:
I installed the CGW Pro Kit on my mid 1990's 75B.
I have not yet set the trigger and sear adjustment.
While conducting the basic function tests I have 2 errors:
1) The hammer will not cycle in double action.
2) The safety will not engage.
Story:
A friend that knows I'm having this issue introduces me to a guy (referred to as "The Armorer") at a gun club. He listens to my story and without hesitation he tells me that happens on the older 75's. He advises me to slightly file the part of the disconnector that make contact with the trigger bar (the inside face of the hook) and that should give me my double action. And he says after I adjust the sear I should have full function of the safety.
I figured I'll be calling CGW for some guidance but I thought I'd run these issues here first.
So, what do ya say, anyone here agree with the guy called The Armorer?

Call CGW before taking advice from anyone else, especially someone who calls himself 'The Armorer'.

I will henceforth be know as "The CZ Whisperer". I will not respond to anyone if not addressed in this manner. It has been ordained, so it shall be. My work bench (computer desk) will be know as "The CZ Healing Bench", if it is refereed to in any other way, i will place a hex on your CZs. It has been ordained, so it shall be.  ;D



Will work for CZ pics! (including but not limited to all CZ clones)

Calling CGW was my intention, but good looking out.
Just to be clear he is called the armorer by other club members, he prefers to be called by his name.

I posted an unusual situation hoping to get a technical discussion going but I'm glad you're having a good time.

Sorry for derailing the tread topic there Minfred , i could not resist. Some of what was suggested sounds odd to me but i have no experience with pre-B CZ 75s. They are not very accessible in my location. I hope you find the culprit.

I can't think of anything where you can stop half-way through the installation instructions and have the item work perfectly.

While remaining sympathetic to your issue and with no malice in my advice, the obvious course of action seems to be "follow the instructions and finish the installation".
