Remind me about the hammer
« on: March 27, 2018, 04:52:05 PM »
What year did CZ change to the thin hammer?  Sometime between 87 and 91 as I have those two years and 87 is full width and 91 is thin but I forgot exact year.

Earliest thin hammer I've seen is 1988.

It?s literally that.... ~ 5.7 mm versus 7.9 mm hammer width. On the left is a 1991 frame (with Kadet 2 slide). On the right is a 1986 frame and slide.

It was 1988 as Blackwatch said unless there was some slop over using up parts or whatever.  I have an 87 CZ85 with wide hammer and saw a 1988 CZ85 yesterday and it was narrow.  I just prefer the old style wide spur.
