Not Schmeky but If you take a smidgen off of the front and form a small radius on the lower edge of the wing like this it will more than likely solve your problem.

I actually did that. SA still has the issue as I described. DA does feel lighter though.

Take off just a hair. Like really, just a hair.

Thanks! I'll give it a shot after I have dinner.

Quick update - this fitting worked well! No problem in SA anymore.  Gonna test it out in practice this weekend.  Thanks Shadow!

Just finished installing the new dis-connectors to my 75B and SP-01 and thought I would pass along my observations.  Fitted the 75B first and took them both to the range , as they have almost identical CGW triggers.  The pull on the 75B was smoother and FELT a little shorter.  This was most noticeable in one handed shooting, my Achilles heel.  The smoother first shot made the follow-up SA shot more "on target".

As to trigger pull my DA on the SP-01 was 8# 1oz. now it is 7# 12oz. and I think after some range time that may come down as the pull, first to last was decreasing.  Trigger gauge is Lyman digital.

Hope this helps.
If I had known how much better being retired is than working I would have done it FIRST.

We are seeing mixed results overall, which is not surprising in the CZ with the new disco.  We are going to do a small batch in DLC/DLA (diamond like coating).

DLC can significantly reduce the coefficient of friction and reduce surface tension with the trigger bar.  Will be interesting.

Now that does sound interesting.

I volunteer to help test!

DLC offers less drag then a mirror polish and some good oil or grease?
Pretty much a CZ fanboy.

I'm not an engineer. Just an amateur internet researcher. These are in-depth (5 mins of searching) findings.

Coefficient of friction of steel on steel is .8 (dry) and .16 (lubricated).
DLC against steel ranges from .05 to .2 (I assume .05 is the lubricated value).

streets ahead,

Yes, you are right, the DLC/DLA will be interesting.  The Co of friction reduction is impressive on paper.

When will the DLC-coated version be available? Will there be a DLC-Type 3 (1486-T3)?
Also, any news on the new-style trigger springs?
Thanks schmeky!

One thing I'll ad on the install of the new T2 disco in my PCR. On initial install it would not reset in SA. I had to remove material from the back of the main leg of the disco. I did this very slowly using only 600 grit sandpaper. It took about seven test fittings and removals. Once it started resetting I finished it with 1500 grit. Totally worth the time spent. I now have a decocker with SA takeup that's on par with my Accu Shadow. I didn't even think that was possible. My older T2 disco in my SP-01 Tac resets then swings forward some more. I thought that was just a decocker thing. No longer the case in my PCR and it shoots and functions perfectly.

Question to CGW.  I currently have an SP01 with a cz custom hammer and 13# mainspring.  I have the CGW adjustable sear as well.   
Would the type2 disconnector work with my current setup?   I had purchased a Type 2 disconnector about two years ago but never installed the item.

Wondering if installing it now would provide me any benefits.

Thanks for any advice.

Will see a big reduction in pretravel and hopefully decrease in DA weight. I don't remember if Type 2 requires SRS or not though.
