CZ100 9mm is a real shooter

[foxmoor]

I just took purchase of a new CZ100 in 9mm and took it to the range today to try it out.  I had dry fired the pistol a fair amount to become aquainted with the long trigger pull; I had attached a trigger stop to the back of the trigger guard.  What I fond surprising was the accuracy of this gun.  While I was only shooting at 30', I was punching out the center of an NRA 50' bullseye target with almost every round.  I quit not because I was tired of the gun, but the etched lines on the trigger itself were eating into my finger, so I may dremel them down or just shoot with gloves.  The only other modification I'm considering is a 22# Wolff spring for the Glock 19, as the casings were traveling a bit far, but the recoil was fine.  In brief, a fine pistol - as someone said, it is a DAO that is not likely to fire accidentally, but I found it to be a good shooter.

Best regards,
Kent

Welcome to the club. It's good to hear you did not have a big problem with transitioning to the long DA pull of the 100. I have also found my 100's to be quite accurate, considering they were designed as a combat pistol. I passed my CCW course with my 9mm. They almost did not let me use it. Kept asking where the safety was. When I told them it didn't have one they wanted to see the decocker. I had to do the entire song and dance, but I finally convinced them.

As I recall, my 9mm drops the casings about 15' to the right rear using the factory recoil spring (still in the pistol). The 40 S&W on the other hand needs  its own zip code. I have a 24# G19 spring in that pistol, my carry piece.

Did you find it necessary to do a fluff and buff on the trigger of your pistol? If not, that is wonderful. If you decide to do it anyway, there is a great thread at the top of the forum.

Again, welcome to the club. If you have any questions at all, just ask. There is a tremendous amount of knowlege here, and everyone is more than willing to share what they know.

Good shooting,

Mike

Thanks for the reply.  No, I've not done the fluff and buff, though I've read the sticky at the top of the forum.  I've not been able to download the photos, and without the photos, I really can't do much with my limited abilities.  However, if I take the description to my gunsmith, is this something he would be able to easily  do?  Bottom line: I don't want to mess up the trigger, though I would like a bit less stacking towards the end of the trigger pull.  I figure I can always dry fire with a snap cap + shoot it and see if that helps.

Thanks again.

Let me make a suggestion. Before you go to your local gunsmith, who has probably never even seen a CZ100, read the instructions again, but this time have the exploded diagram of the pistol in front of you. It will make a world of difference. I completely disassembled my CZ100 with word instructions only, which referenced the parts diagram numbers. A basic fluff and buff requires no disassembly at all. You can do it. Just take your time. The difference will be noticeable.

Good shooting,

Mike

Check out the FIRST messaage in this club area, at the top.  There are comprehensive trigger tips, photos, etc.

Some of the photo links don't work, but the text is still good.

If you will send me an email I will attach the word document I used to my reply.

It took me three trips to the range with my CZ100 (my duty weapon now) to score a 96%.  I scored in the low to mid eighties until I got the hang of it.  It is a real shooter...once you get the hang of it.
