In a pinch, the hammer pin retaining pin can be used for a trigger/trigger return spring slave pin.

I completed cajunizing my SP01, received race hammer and sear yesterday, and installed SRS-1, disco type 2, reduce TRS, race and sear.  The trigger pull was choppy so I removed the trigger bar that I already polished up, and noticed some bad tooling marks raised  where the disco mates up, used jewelers file cleaned up and polish, runs sweet know, CGW's hammers and sears make a huge difference nice crisp pull, with the original sear and hammer a longer drag on the hammer before the sear released the hammer.

Well I to been cajunizing my sp-01 as well, took it over to a friends house today and borrowed his lyman trigger gauge average 5.5lbs double action and averaged 2.5lbs single action. Also we went to the range today and I am super happy with the modifications. Next on the list is some of the CGW target sights fiber optic up front and adjustable rear sight . I still have the stock hammer on it, I don't know if I'll have to change it for the adjustable rear sight. Over all I'm loving this CZ and how its shooting.

Did you install the 11lb hammer spring, did you change the angle of the sear to make it less positive, before I installed the race hammer I was at 3 lbs 5 ozs with 13lb hammer strut spring, also stoned the sear to make less positive. and without modifying the hammer you can tell a big difference of the sear breaking. that is pretty sweet oldtimer I am at 2lbs 14 oz with race hammer.

I just picked up a CZ 75B that had been worked over by CGW that is amazing.  The DA averaged 4 lbs. 3 oz for and the SA averaged 1 lb 12 oz.  I'm about to get all the same parts and work my Shadow over and see what I get now.

Tater I installed the 11.5 lb hammer spring and did a very small modification to the sear and polished and did a small mod to the hammer and polished that as well.  I am so happy with the results so far and I don't think I  have 400 rounds through this gun yet.  I let a friend of mine who has a SP-01 custom on order through CGW shoot a few mags through it and I know he is real excited about getting his, he stated that he likes it as well and the way the gun performs through the shot and the hardly non existent recoil.

Oldtimer what primers are you using?  I am working on the stock hammer right now, and will try it later.  I shot a USPSA match today and did very well. the gun ran smooth, considering comp sights for the SP01, not use to the sight picture yet, the sights are better then stock 75B sights, I will shoot a few more matches first before changing, plus want to save up to buy the dillon 650 press.

Tater I am sorry about being so long getting back to you, I am currently shooting the Winchester white box 100 rd from Walmart  also Brass max and Federal, when I can find it. With that being said only when it can be found, because it is hard to find around here, sometimes we have to travel 30-40 miles just to find the ammo at a Walmart. So what primers come from those manufacturers that's the primers that are currently being used. I have been reloading all of my rifle's and my 45 Acp but not the 9mm yet. A friend of mine wants to get into reloading and wants to do 9mm I believe were planing on using federal 100 small pistol primers when we get started. ]Most of the better hand loads for the Rifles that I have been reloading are with federal GM210M Large Rifle Primers.[/u][/b] Those primers are the ones I use in a rifle only. I have had better consistency with those primers in my past experience, and I do a lot of ladder test when working up a load for a particular rifle.  Overall I am very happy with the consistent results using the Federal primers. I have also found that each firearm is different what shoots well in my 308 may not shoot well in your 308. To make along story short I have only had one stovepipe and 2 Winchester 9mm bullets that did not go bang the first time, I ejected that bullet and reinserted it and it shot the second time around out of 300-400 rounds, mind you it is a new SP-01. Thanks, oldtimer48

Just placed my order for a Race hammer and adjustable sear, SRS-2, floating hammer pin, #12 recoil spring, type 2 disconnecter, and reduced power trigger return spring. I can't wait to see the difference it makes combined with a complete strip clean and polish of the trigger bar. If anyone has any specific tips for any part of the process I would be much appreciated as I'm not the best gunsmith in the world!

I went to harbor freight and bought a set of inexpensive various sized punch set, already had some craftsman punch's do a search most of the info I got right here from the sticky posted above. Take your time and don't force anything, I found out when going in uncharted territory and it's not going the way I like it to be is to simply walk away and pray. At trying times I'll revisit the computer and get as much info as possible and I'll leave it for tomorrow, most the time I'll have the answer while asleep. That trigger spring I would suggest using one of the hammer pins as a slave pin as you push out the pin that holds the trigger in, and it should slide right up out of there. Also same when you install the new trigger return spring use the same hammer return spring use a hammer pin as a slave pin and push that out with the new CGW floating trigger pin. Just take your time and go slow and as always if you don't know or are not a hundred percent sure post a question. There are many helpful and very knowledgeable people on this sight, and I am very thankful for that and all the valuable info they share. I hope this helps and Good luck. oldtimer

Oldtimer48, Thank you so much for the information. The Professor Atlas is going to be a huge help as well as your advice! I'm doing so polishing on the trigger bar and about to take the firing pin out at this time. I'm just waiting for my CGW to come in, hopefully they will be in tomorrow!

Wrightster  just make sure when you are putting in the new firing pin with new spring that you use a 1/8" punch and as you are pushing the firing pin in that you will by hand push the 1/8" punch through where the new roll pin goes.  As you are installing the new roll pin slot up of course you are actually using it to push the 1/8" punch back out that way you will have the roll pin aligned correctly to hold the firing pin in place. I hope this makes sense the way it is written. Good luck oldtimer

Wrightster there maybe some fine tuning,  my sp01 had some tooling rough areas on the trigger bar where the disco connects, had to file and polish up. I would also recommend the CGW disco it will take up a lot of the travel in SA. Removing the hammer pins can be a pain, I purchased the punch from CGW, the SP01 was not that difficult to remove, but the 75b lots of force. If you have any questions or if you are not sure just call CGW and he is very helpful.
