I just received my polished stainless CZ 75 back from CGW. The results are sublime. I had previously installed their ultralight spring kit and extended firing pin to substantial positive effect. I was still less than delighted with the trigger - long reach and reset and a little gritty.
Since I was well on the way to their Pro Package, I had them finish the job. They replaced the trigger blade with their “old style” blade and the stock hammer with their stainless race hammer. They shortened the reach and the reset and polished the internals and installed new pins. The result is a very smooth 6.5 lb DA pull and a crisp 3.2 lb SA pull. Reset is about 2 mm.
Here’s a picture although there’s not much to see. It is pretty, no? I am very happy with the CGW work.

Glad you got it back and are happy! What a lovely machine. And I like the grip choice!

4Beautiful. I like shiny things. You can always use it as a signaling mirror in case of emergency's.

5Ooooo! Such a lovely shiny thing and I too like the grips. I'm still thinking about sending the P-01 in for one of their loving treatments. Happy shooting !

I'd send it in, I'm klutzy when it comes to mechanical things. I'm missing some gene or genes.

8I’ve done the springs and firing pins on my RAMI, Sp-01, and P-01. The P-01 trigger bites my index finger. Otherwise, I’m happy with them all. I might have the reach reduced and trigger swapped out on the P-01.

How long was the process of sending it to them and getting it back?

12I am sure it varies but mine took about ten weeks. CGW was very up front about how long it would take.geno wrote:Almost, too pretty to shoot.

13Having ask my LCS to work on two of my CZ's now. I would definitely send it to Cajun Gun Works. My guys just can't seam to get the knack of reassembling the trigger springs. The first time they went through 6 springs (lost a few, broke a few).
By the way, that sure does polish up nicely.

14Hah! I lost two trigger springs trying to do it myself. YouTube was not much help. That’s when I decided to go with CGW.
Yes, it does polish up nicely but it smudges up even easier.

15I've often thought a cheap sand blasting cabinet would be perfect for such endeavors.
Or even a large cardboard box with a piece of Plexiglas for a lid, and smallish holes for your arms.

Re: Shiny, smooth Cajunized CZ 75 B
20Ha ha... reminds me of a story, Señor.
Back in SE AZ, I receive Gunbroker and other firearm purchases from an FFL that runs his business out of his home. He is cheap. And a highly opinionated guy, a Korean War Vet who flies a US Marine flag off a honest to goodness flagpole planted in his front yard. He’s still a bear of a man, an All American, a private pilot who still flies with the Civil Air Patrol and RO’s at the local outdoor gun range. For whatever reason he took a liking to little Asian American me (who more than likely resembles the skinny Chinese soldiers he dispatched with his Ka-bar in the snow during night patrols). We would spend hours recounting those war stories and his days as an undercover police officer with the NYPD (me listening with perverse fascination to his flourishing details).
Anyway, one day my polished stainless CZ-75b came in the mail to my FFL and I promptly made the 30 min drive across the desert to meet him in his town of Sierra Vista (attached to the mysterious Ft Huachuca).
My FFL was unusually quiet as he entered the serial number of my new stainless pistol into his book. I fondled My Precious respectfully at his dining room table taking care of all the “Jeff Cooper safety rules” waiting for him to finish. I finally asked him what he thought of my new gun.
He picked it up as if looking at paperweight and put it back down saying, “It’s great, if you’re a Puerto Rican.”
Ya gotta luv that guy.

25Normally I do not like much from Cajun Gun Works, but they did a good job on your CZ.
