Outstanding product at a great price. And the instructional video is exceptionally well-made and professional. It made the installation doable even for a non-gunsmith like myself. My only criticism...my gun was not near as clean as the one in the video.... I just ordered another kit for my RAMI and am looking for an equally satisfactory outcome.
Package was as advertised. Trigger return spring slave pin was too long (minor). Video was good, but the Trigger return spring was difficult to install, until the spring was installed in the correct manner so return spring slave pin could be installed. My point? The video lost me when the spring was actually inserted because the frame was dark and was difficult to see the actual spring instalation. My suggestion would be to mount the Trigger assembly, Trigger bar etc, onto a mount that would let the viewer clearly see the spring inserted. Would have made it a lot easier for me. I went through all my bad words several times getting the spring in place. And several Trigger return springs.
The installation video was excellent, but I worked through a couple of issues which were probably tied to my specific pistol, but may be helpul to others. 1) Removing the decocking lever--Getting the right side plate off was fairly easy, but pulling the left side and shaft out was difficult until I lifted the sear spring leg. (I did not see this tip in the video.) 2) Both the sear cage pin and trigger pin were extremely tight and did not budge even with significant "tapping." (My neighbor, a more experienced gun smith, used pretty hard blows on the pin punch to get these started--using the "this won't hurt me a bit" philosophy while working on my gun!) I could not get the sear pin restarted when reassembling the cage into the frame until I sanded/polished a couple of thousands off the pin and cleaned the right side hole with a small round file. 3) I could not get the sear cage to reseat in the pistol frame until I removed the hammer spring and allowed the hammer to "flop" back in the cocked position. 4) I did pop the tiny hammer block spring out when pushing the sear cage pin back into the cage/frame assembly. The video does a good job of showing how to get this little spring back in place. A "hooked" pick was very helpful in getting the rear leg of the spring into the notch in the block. Again, my experience--hopefully these comments may be helpful to others installing the trigger spring kit.
I've used CajunGunWork and CZ Customs kits on my 75B, 97B, and SP-01 Omega in the past. This kit is the best out there! My CZ 75B already had a extended firing pin, short disconnect, and 12lbs hammer spring (which I did leave in)... fires like a dream! Tigger pull is coming in just under 2lbs.
I recently purchased a CZ 75B handgun and was not happy with the trigger performance. Someone at the range suggested the M-Carbo Trigger Spring Kit. At the price, I thought it was worth a try. In a few days I received a package with what I feel is the most comprehensive assortment of well matched, high quality upgrade springs for my 75B. I am quite handy around most things mechanical but I have never attempted anything this invasive on a handgun. Thank God there is a U-Tube Video that walks you through step by step. My gun improved 2lbs. on double action and the single action is a perfect 3lbs. Overall feel is smooth and balanced. Thank You M-Carbo.
The new video on the above model was just released on you tube recently, and it is the absolute best video on installation on this more difficult model to change out. Took my time with instruction, and the video was spot on accurate. The video portion was the clearest of anyone on the web trying to instruct. This video, along with quality parts made installation so much easier for me. Had not done anything like this before, so was rewarding for old timer (72 years) to learn new disciplines. In the end, was the excellent video that sold me on buying this kit.....
I ordered and installed the kit. I watched the video and everything went well but the trigger seemed lazy to return. When I got to the range the problems really showed up. The trigger would sometime come back to reset and other time I had to manual move it back. This happened in the SA usage. When I got home I wrote to these folks asking if there was something to look for or is this a bad trigger return spring issue. I never heard anything back. I removed there spring and put back the factory one. The gun is reliable again. I did not feel a great improvement in the trigger but there was some. I don't know that any other spring kit would have done better but this one broke my gun and they did not respond.
As the title says, I bought it to use on my 1st gen Jericho 941F (so frame mounted safety) The springs all work fantastic, provides a smoother (if vaguer in SA) trigger pull, all the springs fit The pins do not. But this doesn't matter IMO...
Installation is not bad at all, great video to help, I would highly recommend this, my trigger feels way, way, way better. It is worth it.
Ok so I never write reviews. But I must say mcarbo is top quality at a great price I have this spring kit on my pcr and my sp-01 it's a night and day difference. I'm about to by another kit for my CZ 75b if you are mixed between this kit CGW or apex dont bother this kit will give you the same performance at a way better price. Make sure you add the floating trigger pin it's an easy quick upgrade as well. Hope this help anyone that is looking. Thanks for making such a great product mcarbo!!
Looked around for a trigger spring kit that I could install myself on my wife's CZ 75 SP-01. After watching the Chris's video and I thought "Could it really be that simple?" Well I bought the kit and followed the video step by step. Taping that retaining pin out and then back in was the hardest part! Installing the trigger spring was a breeze and the sear pin spring was almost as easy. There was only one difference between the CZs - I had an ambi-safety but that doesn't matter. I was very impressed with the results and my wife is extremely happy with the trigger in both DA and SA. It reduced the trigger pull by at least 50%. My only suggestion for the install would be to use some tape around the pins when you need to use a punch. If your punch slips, at least the tape will be there to offer some protection. I'm a believer and will definitely recommend to anyone with a CZ.
I have installed the M*CARBO spring kits in both my and my wife's CZ 75 BD's with a noticeable reduction in trigger pull weight in both double-action (DA) and single-action (SA). In both guns I now have a 3.5# SA and approximately 7.0# DA pull weight. This is without installing the reduced power sear spring... I wanted to maintain the SA pull weight at 3.5# (+-). Eliminating the sear spring replacement also greatly simplifies installation. These are both home personal defense guns and I did not want the weights too light. The instructional information and video were tremendously helpful and I referred to them for both installs. Thanks!
Installed this in my Tri Star l-120 every thing went in fine reduced my pull weight and made the double action very smooth
Purchased the spring kit very happy with outcome. Not as easy to install as I 1st thought. That being said, the video instructions were on point and I was able to replace the springs with a little bit of struggle because this was my 1st time. I popped the springs a few times and had to go chasing after a couple but the instructor gives confidence in DIY amateur armorers. (I'm way below amateur) Basically if I can do it anyone can with minimal tools.
Trigger Deets for my CZ75B Limited Edition: -Double Action Pull: Pre-10.5lbs; Post-7.2lbs -Single Action Pull: Pre-5.5lbs; Post-3.2lbs This spring set upgrade completed an otherwise amazing pistol. I love the solid steel of the CZ but the trigger was always a little heavy. Additionally, I found the video very easy to follow with the only variation being, I have a ambi-safety and the video only showed a left side safety. This was a quick pivot to another video but an easy disassembly/reassembly overall. Don’t hesitate to buy this and allot probably an hour for hobbyist-level gun modifying skills. Less for someone more familiar with this particular platform. Way to go MCARBO! I’ll be back...
Trigger pull is much better, however, every so often the trigger will not reset fully. This could get you killed. Switched back to oem.
