Kadet kit on the way…
« on: February 08, 2023, 08:57:41 PM »
Have a Kadet kit on the way that I’d like to put on my Sp-01 Target 2 from CZ Custom. Should I expect to have to put in a heavier hammer spring ? will it affect my S/A pull much ?

Does it have the stock hammer spring? Stock springs are usually heavy so I don't think it will have a problem. Only way you will find out is take it out and shoot it. And congratulations on your new Kadet kit. Also I believe you got the SP01 kit you might want to look into getting the CZC comp. It doesn't make a big difference in shooting but it looks good.  https://czcustom.com/cz75-kadet-22-lr-1-port-comp.html

 I believe that you'll have a lot of fun, whether for practice or just shooting.  Enjoy!

You may need the factory hammer spring otherwise you might get light strikes.
But I have read about folks having positive results with a bit lighter spring. Trial and error and $$

Redhemi, my Kadet is the discontinued steel model, not the newer alloy SP-01. Arrived yesterday,looks good, hope to find time to try it out soon !

I have to use a 20lb OEM hammer spring to get 100% ignition from my steel 75 kadet from all types of ammo.  Below that and you start playing the game of which ammo/batch is better (in my testing CCI minimags and... of all things, Remington golden bullets work the  best with sub-20 sprigns)

You might investigate the Cajun Gun Works extended kadet firing pin, which, like when you use an extended FP in 9mm, allow you to drop the spring weight.
But you must be aware an extended FP in a kadet WILL DAMAGE YOUR GUN if you dryfire it (supposedly even with snap caps).

How much your single action trigger is affected by the hammer spring weight depends on how much the hammer is cammed back by the sear as you pull the trigger.  I suspect if you had a cajun/custom hammer/sear which minimized this, you'd feel much less weight difference. 

Also, keep that FP channel super clean.  You can also in theory mess with the firing pin return spring weight, but that risks your firing pin retaining plate flying off while shooting.

For me, I just deal with the full hammer weight, but I'm not particularly fond of sub 2lb hair triggers on my pistols anyway. 

There are other things you can do to lighten a CZ trigger:
reduced power trigger bar spring
reduced power trigger return spring
a SA flat trigger
hammer/sear job or cajun drop in parts
polishing of all friction surfaces such as the trigger bar and the parts of the frame it rubs against
delete FPB lifter arm as the kadet kit does not have a FPB
