Boy, that one was rough looking.

You've got it looking better now.

How does it shoot?

However, I'll have to deduct 5 points for loss of the spur hammer. ;D

Something about those spur hammers I really like.  Like them enough I've bought the repro spur hammer CZ USA sells sometimes and put them on a couple CZ75B pistols.
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?

This was a rough one, sand was in every crevice.  However it had the smoothest action and best SA break of any stock CZ I’ve had.

Haven’t had a chance to shoot yet. 

I also prefer the looks of the spur hammer, but the race hammer makes a big difference. The previous owner stoned the half cock smooth and I didn’t like not having that safety mechanism.  It was an original wide spur and I couldn’t find a replacement, so I went with the aftermarket hammer. Glad I did. 

I’ll measure trigger pull at some point but this one feels much lighter than others with same hammer spring weight and reduced trigger spring etc.

Yeah, the repro spur hammers are narrower than the original.  The reduced the width of the notch in the back of the slide.

Not sure why someone would do that to a hammer.  It sure didn't affect the SA trigger pull any.
