Stafford Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 New SP-01 while dry firing, I heard a squeak. I put it in half cock, and then worked the trigger back and forth without letting the hammer drop. I could definitely pick up the squeak. I’m not positive where the noise is coming from, whether internal in the trigger mechanism or from the movement of the hammer. But, I think it is from the hammer - maybe. Will this wear in and eventually quieten down, or do I need to put some oil somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zen_grasshopper Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Put some grease on the hammer strut. Your hammer spring is what is causing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hammer Strut is the rod the the hammer/main spring is rapped around. I agree with the remedy posted above, a bit of lube on the hammer spring/strut should take care of the sound. Pulling the grips will allow access to this part so that you can apply some lube. A reference picture of a Hammer Strut. A refrance picture of an SP-01 with the grips removed. Here you can see the hammer spring as well. Edited January 12, 2020 by Tok36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1A4ME Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) I think this picture is of the strut in my Pre B CZ85 but can't confirm it. Lack of lube/care I'd say as it was nasty/dirty with pitted barrel/chamber and some pits on the slide when I got it. See the little shiny spots (where the light is hitting grooves worn into the strut by the spring) on the corners of the strut. I could hear it making a sort of clicking noise as I thumbed the hammer back. The spring coils would set down in a grove and then pop out and drop into the next grooves as the hammer was cocked (compressing the spring). Used a stone to remove the bumpy corners from the hammer strut and then lubed it up. Let me add, when I get a new CZ these days, I will take it apart (when I'm installing any springs/etc.) and stone the four corners of the hammer strut to round them off/smooth them out. Can't say that will "fix it forever" as none of my CZ's (other than the Pre B CZ85) have a lot of age/wear on them.
