I think it is a matter of perception and muscle
« on: July 02, 2002, 09:46:34 AM »
The more I ponder the burning debate about the long trigger pull on the CZ-100 model the more I am convinced that the above two factors are in play.  In the two major www weapons sites that I peruse I have seen many opinions on this subject.  A lot of them have been negative.  But lets take into consideration perception and finger and hand muscle tone.  
Let's face it, If you are a long time shooter that is used to S/A with 3lb. hairpin trigger you are not going to want to give this up for the DAO of the 100.  
If you have strong hands and finger muscles and are used to shooting revolvers SA, then you would make the transition a lot eaiser....

Double taps:  I don't think the 100 will ever match the speed of a SA.  It's lightness on the front end would also hinder it from being as accurate on double taps.

Yea or Nay ?

Maybe for some people.  I was in the Army.  I passed the Army PT test and got through Ranger School and Airborne and Air Assault Schools.  Before I tore my rotor cuff in my shoulder, I was bench pressing 350 pounds and doing 10 reps of that in 3 sets.  So I think that I have reasonable physical strength.  
I outshot my entire police acadmy class using a SNUBNOSE .38 revolver.  A S&W Model 10 btw.  Carried a SIG P220 and an HK USP .40 full sized as duty guns.
So I know double action triggers.  I carried a 1911 in the service and after as my CCW weapon.  So I think I know single action triggers as well.

I still think the CZ 100 has horrible trigger.  Maybe I'm wrong.

Everything else about it, I love.  Maybe someday I'll pick one up and get used to it... Maybe the trigger will improve as some people are saying it does.  
The CZ 100 is a gun I WANT to like.  I just have a huge problem with and can't get past that trigger.
