cpa5oh Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I'm shooting a CZ 85 with an upgraded hammer, sear, and lighter springs. I'm using a 13# hammer spring and getting a decent DA pull...but when I use an 11.5# hammer spring I get a GREAT DA pull. I do not have a tool that measures the weight of the trigger pull, but there's a big difference between the two hammer springs...problem is, with the 11.5# spring, I'm not getting reliable ignition at all. I've got a Tanfoglio Match that I've been very impressed with, so I'm thinking I'm gonna get a Stock 2 or 3 the next time they're in stock somewhere. Question I have is how light of a DA pull is possible with either one of these guns while still having reliable ignition and without having to send the gun away to a gunsmith? Something in the 5-6# range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pivoproseem Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Do you have an extended firing pin in your 85? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpa5oh Posted October 8, 2012 Author Share Posted October 8, 2012 Yeah I have the extended firing pin with the lighter firing pin spring...I'm through trying to make this gun reliable with the 11.5# spring. I do not want to be stuck with using only Federal primers (because they always seem to be hardest to get) and this past weekend, with the 11.5# spring, the gun light-striked about 6 times in 30 shots with Federal primers anyhow. Maybe my firing pin canal is dirty...regardless, I've wasted enough time and matches light striking with the 11.5# spring to know when I'm beat. If the Tanfoglio's can be more reliable with lighter springs/lighter DA pull, I'm going to buy one in the offseason...especially if the large frame (Stock 3) is available.

vluc Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Dan, find what works for you and go with that. I've watched you shoot and have shot with you, and you are too good a shooter to let equipment stand in your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpa5oh Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Vince you have a way of giving advice that is huge without being complicated. Hard to describe, but it's pretty awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
