MrRick Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Trying to select the correct hammer kit for my Shadow 2. I already have all the springs and extended firing pin installed so just need hammer/sear kit and T3 disconnector to complete CHW S-2 kit https://cajungunworks.com/product/75800-shadow-s-2-kit/ Not a 100% sure if it uses this Hammer kit https://cajungunworks.com/product/race-hammer-kit/ or this one https://cajungunworks.com/product/production-legal-drop-in-hammer-kit/ I believe it uses the RHK kit. If it does, do I need the spacer? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRick Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 How about the hammer? Which one would I use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A4ME Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Call Cajun Gun Works, tell them what you have and what you want to be able to do with it and they'll be glad to talk to you about it. Great people to buy from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

858 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 The CZ production race hammer is every bit as good if not better than the CGW. I have a CGW race hammer with a T3 and it has more creep and the same take up as a CZ production race hammer and pre-b disco from CZC (I have both). The CZ hammer is full width for a Shadow instead of narrow for a CZ 75B. Frankly, I'm not all that impressed with the CGW race hammers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have creep in your CGW Race hammer then it is likely defective and should be replaced. Every CGW hammer I've had has had a crisper break than my NP3 coated CZC hammer. That's not to say that the CZC hammer is bad, but CZC is a smooth pull while the CGWs are a clean break, especially with a tight fitting T3.

thompsoncustom Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 The cz factory comp hammer is a good hammer but has inferior hook design. I have had to send 2 different comp hammers to CGW to be recut at a different angle. I personally like the look of the CZ comp hammer more then the CGW hammer but the machining is much better on the CGW hammer over the CZ factory comp hammer.

Short of hand cutting hammer hooks and the sear nose, you're entirely reliant on the component tolerance for performance. Some a great, some aren't. My experience is the CGW is just OK, certainly nothing to dismiss the factory parts over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My experience is the CGW is just OK, certainly nothing to dismiss the factory parts over. If you have creep, something is definitely wrong with the hammer hooks. I'm sure if you talked to Scott/David at CGW they would replace the hammer for you. They were advertised as zero-creep, and they will make sure that is what you get. 5k rounds are not enough to cause a significant amount of creep. I'm sure I've dryfired my hammer way more than that, and it feels the same as day 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A4ME Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I've replaced the factory hammers on two CZ pistols with the Cajun Gun Works race hammers and adjustable sears. Amazing improvement vs. the factory hammer. Somethings not right about either the hammer you bought or with your trigger/trigger bar. Did you leave the firing pin block in? I did on one pistol and took it out on another. With the firing pin block left installed you will feel the trigger sort of bump/stop when the lifter arm starts to lift the firing pin block safety, then stop when the sear has to start moving. That first little bump of the lifter arm to the sear movement isn't creep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistolpete9 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I actually used a SP01 rhk in my TS which already had a great trigger and it was DEFINITELY a good buy! Not sure how you're getting creep. I'd agree that yours is defective or something else is wrong. Mine is my favorite trigger I own now. It has a very similar feel to my CMC flat trigger on my AR, but lighter. There are many who sit in a quiet place and try to find creep or grit in a trigger and then judge the trigger based on that. I'm not saying that what they find isn't real, but if you have to look for the problem and pull the trigger in a different way than you normally would...... Does it really matter?
