What can you guys tell me about the CZ100?
|
I love CZ products, but ended up selling my 100 years ago. Felt great in the hand, but the trigger sucked. I will be taking my CZ 97B, CZ 75 and CZ P-01 to the grave. Too bad the CZ 100 had such a bad trigger. If you want to see how bad it was, tie a 100lb weight to your finger and curl it...lol

I just got a CZ100. This is a neat looking gun, but has the long dao type trigger pull like on a Taurus PT 24/7. Haven't tried the trigger fix. Accuracy was decent and grip feel was good. Magazines are around $40 each. Wouldn't be my choice for a defensive handgun, but is certainly a unique handgun to have in a collection. Here's a pic of mine.
F.A.S. Out |

Meh, I got one as a gift unfired in the box. I guess it'll stay that way if it's that bad. Is it a .40? Secondly, why not try shooting if for yourself? These are $300 guns at BEST anyway... even in great condition, because nobody wants one (except me).... Maybe they are all like you, and just take internet BS for fact? 
I'm sure the trigger is not match grade... but things are seldom as bad as the internet makes them out to be - just LOOK at what these people are telling you - your hearing things like "I THINK i dry fired one once" and "My cousins mail man said the trigger was bad". Go find out for yourself, and if you STILL don't like it, then sell it to me on the cheap!

I just sold one in .40 caliber. It was a nice enough gun... heck, I carried it as my CCW for years. For some reason, though, I just never warmed up to it. The trigger pull is verrrrry long, but it can be made extremely smooth with not too much work. Basically you take the slide off and study the trigger bar and striker disconnector. Any place where two pieces of metal rub together, polish them up with some really fine grit sandpaper. Take another piece of that same sandpaper, fold it so it's rough on both sides, and slide it in where the trigger bar hits the disconnector. Work the trigger bar against the disconnector a few hundred times, so that the top side of the trigger bar gets smoothed out. Also hold the trigger back so the trigger bar is against the disconnector, and work the sandpaper so that the underside of the disconnector gets smoothed out. You can try making a really skinny sanding pad and smoothing out the underside of the disconnector, too. When you're done, make sure you flush out any grit that's left behind and oil (or grease) the thing like crazy because you've got a lot of new bare metal there. When all is said and done, the trigger pull will still be really long, but it will have smoothed out tremendously. I had put a Hogue Handall on mine. I felt that it made the grip feel much better in my hand. YMMV. |
