Just updating for posterity's sake - the long and short of it is that I installed all of the parts, took a little longer than expected but overall it was fine. I'd rate the difficulty for a novice like myself, on a scale of 1-5, about a 2.5 I used the S-2 upgrade kit with reach reduction - parts # 75820 installed in a Shadow 2 optics ready Some general tips / tricks that I found useful: Buy the starter punch or else you'll be fighting the hammer pins more than necessary Have red & blue locktite on hand Have acetone (and q-tips) on hand to degrease the set screws and the various parts that you're taking out of your gun Have a needle nose plier to install the trigger return spring and the sear spring I don't think there is any youtube video or guide out there that covers what to do with the sear spacer that comes with the kit but it's pretty straight forward and self explanatory... it goes in the sear pack right next to the adjustable sear, held by the sear pin. I used a punch like a slave pin to hold everything together Overall, it took about 2.5hrs from start to finish, including time to completely strip the gun, clean / degrease every part (a lot of time spent on using a toothbrush to get all the dead skin out of the lok brass grips), reassemble, and tune the sear & trigger set screws. If you're more experienced than me, you can probably fly through it much faster.

I had the same exact problem. Hold the magazine like a hammer and give the baseplate good smack on a relatively soft but firm surface (e.g. carpeted floor, palm of your hand) with the retaining pin facing up. It should pop out another millimeter

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I bought the starter punch and watched a few videos yesterday to prep. The kit should be arriving tomorrow, so I've got a good after dinner activity. Wish me luck!

What made you hate the install? Any tips or suggestions to make the process go a bit smoother?

Thanks, Sig & Souper... I just pulled the trigger on the pro-package & the starter punch. Just in time before the season starts back up in March

Hey Guys, I'm new to this forum, just started shooting USPSA CO this past September. I picked up a bone stock CZ S2 (optics ready) and have only put about 3500rds through it so far with daily (30min) dry fire practice. I was at the range yesterday and fired ~300 rounds and when I got back home I noticed that the trigger pin was walking out on the left-hand side about 1-2mm. I tapped it back in but now I'm wondering: - Is this common / non-issue or does it warrant replacing it? - Any preventative maintenance of parts I should consider? I've heard of some issues with the trigger return spring breaking after ~5k or so rounds - I have zero "gunsmithing" experience apart from slapping together an AR with some parts kits... how difficult would you say installing the CWG 75820 Pro-Package is on a scale of 1 (very easy) to 5 (send it to CWG, dummy)? Thanks!

Cool man, hope to see you around in the upcoming season. I still have to lurk around URC in the off season and hope for the membership lottery at NHRPC

Chester County. I've so far just been bouncing around between NHRPC, SCCPSA and Ontelaunee but depending on how well I can progress this season I'd like to get into some level II matches and be at least somewhat competitive.

Hello from PA. I finally dipped my toes into USPSA last September and was immediately hooked. Found this forum and saw it was way more active in terms of actual shooting / training content instead of just the same old pictures of generic glocks or ARs being posted so I figured I'd sign up. I'm shooting carry optics, started out at c class. My goal for this shooting season is to make the jump to A - let's see how it goes.
