Tool Steel Striker For The P-10

[cremaley]

And Cajun Gun Works just posted on their subforum that a new batch of tool steel strikers is on hand.

These striker are excellent. Anyone owning a CZP-10C should definitely get one.

I'm waiting for the full Monty. Then I will ship it in!

CGW has the striker, stainless steel guide rod and springs, tritium sights. Is it just the flat trigger they are waiting on to complete the full Monty?

[armoredman]

Eh, could be!

[cremaley]

Eh, could be!

Do you have any idea what the cost of the full package will be?

[s0nspark]

I would strongly suggest you try HBI's flat, straight trigger and skip the "fanged" version.  OR get the upcoming CGW smooth and gently curved trigger.

Aside from sights my P-10C is still stock.

I can only reasonably expect that to stay the case until CGW releases their trigger and a ProGrade package... ;-)

No matter how pleased I am with a stock gun, CGW always elevates things to a whole 'nother level.

I will be really interested to see how much CGW charges for the full package on the P-10 and how much it differs from what I have done to my P-10. To date I have polished the trigger components, replaced the stock trigger with HBI using a 3 pound striker spring, replaced the stock recoil spring with GGI black stainless rod and 15 pound spring and replaced the stock striker with CGW tool steel striker. My last upgrade will be replacing the stock sights with CGW tritium sights front and rear. My all in cost including the sights will be $261.95 which when added to the cost of the P-10 has me all in at $731.98. My P-10 is one of the best, if not the best, shooting handguns I have ever owned and I carry it every day with confidence.

I've got a 2nd HBI trigger on the way, and have the steel striker too.  I don't get the uncaptured spring tho.  Just seems like it
would be that much harder reassembling the gun with a squirmy spring wanting to fly away.

Not sure what you are picturing with uncaptured spring, but it is no harder to assemble a pistol with one.  A captured spring is partially compressed and captured by the guide rod with some sort of retention device.  Uncaptured is simply not compressed at all yet.  You set it in the same place as the captured guide spring and guide rod, you just partially compress the spring as you do it.  There?s nothing tricky about it, and once it?s in place, it?s held in place through reassembly identically to the captured spring/rod.   

The big advantage in my mind of the non-captured spring is that it?s super easy to swap out of recoil springs, which depending on the various uses you have for the pistol might be very desirable.

I simply stick a small screw driver through hole in the slide and into the part of the spring that is not compressed and push down on the spring until it sets in place and the screw drive is push out of the slide. Not difficult at all.

Maybe I'm clumsy, but I'd prefer one that would be held in place by a c-clip.  Best of both worlds.

Again, not sure what you?re picturing. 

With a captured spring set up, compressing the spring, pulling the clip, swapping and compressing the new spring while slipping the clip back on takes much more hand strength and manual dexterity than assembling a pistol with an uncaptured spring. I?m not saying swapping springs on a captured system is hard to do, just harder than assembling a pistol with an uncaptured spring, which is nothing.

An uncaptured spring is ?captured? by the slide when you assemble the upper, in the exact same place the captured system is.  There?s nowhere for it to go prior to pistol assembly.  It?s no less stable than a captured system.   It?s the same as with a captured spring.  Same thing.

After putting several hundred rounds through my P-10 with the CGW striker and the HBI 3 pound striker spring, the trigger pull has leveled off at an average of 3 pounds 14 ounces on my Lyman digital scale. 4 pounds is what I was trying to achieve so I am just slightly under. The accuracy of my P-10 is outstanding making it one of my all time favorite guns, if not my favorite.

Did the CGW striker make a difference in trigger feel? All the grit in mine seems to be from the trigger bar engaging the disconnector. I polished my parts but it is still creepy/gritty. The longer I have this OEM trigger the less I like it. Anxiously awaiting the CGW trigger, hoping reduced travel alleviates my issues.

[armoredman]

Eh, could be!

Do you have any idea what the cost of the full package will be?

Not yet, gotta line u my blood plasma people first.  Actually it will probablt be close to the others about $400, I'm guessing, with all work done there.
