Fwiw

Series II Stoning fixture makes to relatively simple. I couldn't imagine doing it by hand.

Actually, Frantisek Koucy designed it to be that way from the beginning. All of his other designs have the positive engagement also. (See the vz-82/CZ 83, for example.)
 
Right it's supposed to. The question is how much? There's was a definite change from a slight amount of camming to what we have now.

Good point. My 1982 and 1994 models do not cam as much as the Type B models.
 
Sometimes I think the amount of camming is just a feature of who put the gun together that day. My PCR has almost zero camming, but out of my remaining 5 CZ's, my "91" CZ75 has the most. Also, the degree of play in the sear cage can affect the trigger substantially.

The design of the CZ75 series of pistols is capable of excellent triggers if folks want to spend the money.
 
I've got the same problem with my CZ75B. It hampered my shooting so much that when I switched from my CZ to my Glock 26 for a defensive handgun shooting league I used to be in, my scores immediately went up 30 percent.
I tried a lighter trigger spring, which helped some, but I've never been able to shoot the gun well.

At least in 9mm form. I have a Kadet kit for the gun and for some reason the camming has never bothered me when shooting .22LR. Go figure. As a result the CZ is now pretty much a dedicated .22.

Sounds reasonable. Don't forget that the average Czech worker drinks a beer or three on his lunch break...

;)
 
Yeah

I have noted that Cz's quality does vary considerably. I am certain that part of this comes from the fact that they do large contracts for various police agencies and some military. From what I gather, some of these contract guns end up on the civilian market. I seem to remember a run of Turkish contract 75s a several years ago. My point is that different contracts will have different specs/requirements/costs.

I think you're talking about the DA first shot. The transition from DA to SA does take work to overcome. It is kinda nice about the Glocks that the trigger is always the same. This thread is talking about the angles in the interface between the sear and hammer (only applies when the hammer is cocked).

Putting in an EGW or Miossi sear and reducing the camming will do wonders for the trigger. The next step is a hammer with a lower shelf. A properly fitted Champion hammer and hard sear with the SA trigger does wonders for the gun (wouldn't carry that though).

The Cz triggers are actually pretty easy to work on.
 
This is why I do not like the whole DA/SA concept. Especially since my roots are in revolvers. Give me a DAO or some way that the trigger action is consistent with all my side arms. That is why my SA/DA has become a Range gun for me and DAO is the carry weapon. Kahr is next on my list of "must have" weapons just for this very reason.
