Can someone with actual experience, please describe the trigger pull on a Yodave'd CZ452 trigger? I used the search function and couldn't find definitive answers to my questions. All I can read are how great the Yodave kit made their triggers. So before deciding on whether or not to spend on two kits, I hope the CZ experts out there can chime in.

Trigger pull weight in ounces?

Creep or absence of creep?

Overtravel?

Crispness like the proverbial glass rod breaking?

How does it compare to the sweet Smith and Wesson K-frame Single Action pull, or perhaps a 1911 McCormick match titanium hammer/sear?

I ask because my Style and Varmint triggers were stroked by Shane at Reliable Gun before I took delivery 8 years ago, and they are nice enough but with a little creep and over travel. I don't have my trigger pull gauge (lost somewhere sometime during a major move) but am guessing I have 1.5 lb triggers on both CZs. Can a Yodave kit deliver safe and crisp, sub-one pound pulls? Thank you.
 
YoDave kit

I've done both my CZ's with Yodave kits they work really well and allow you adjust your trigger to what ever settings you like right done into the oz's. Now there is the safety side of things and what you are using the rifle for. I have one rifle set down to about 8ozs BUT that rifle is only shot off the bench and never loaded except when is pointed at the target. My other rifle is set to about 1.5 lbs for hunting and general plinking.

The travel of the trigger is shortened buy the use of spacers between the trigger and the sear. Well the different springs are use to adjust the pull weight along with the nut for fine tuning.

If your going to play around with you trigger settings you have to take several safety precautions. First you need to bump test the rifle to simulate dropping it. Then you need to check if the rifle fires when the safety is turned on and off. Finally you need to slam the bolt closed several times to ensure the firing pin engages with the sear properly and does fire on closing.

Over all I would highly recommend the trigger kit to anyone that is mechanically inclined and understands the workings of firearms. This kit has enough parts to do multiple rifles with one kit as long you don't want the same trigger pull weight on both rifles.

One other important thing is if you want a really smooth crisp break is honing the sear and firing pin contact points. This reduces the friction and makes the trigger "crisper" and cleaner feeling. Though you have to be carful honing to keep the stones square to the face your honing so you don't change the angle of the surfaces.
 
When you do order Dave is in Coombs on the Island. Shipped next business day, got to me in Burnaby day after.
 
When I first bought my 452, while the trigger was a little stiff (~3lbs), it had zero creep and felt fantastic to break - after a few hundred rounds, I began to feel the beginnings of creep - after a few thousand rounds, it was beginning to feel sloppy (compared to the Anschutz that I shoot more often).

Adjusting the stock trigger brought the pull-weight down to ~2 pounds, but I found that to be still too stiff.

After installing the Yo-Dave kit, my trigger was back to its original self - no creep, clean break and I'd reduced the pull-weight by a pound or so to boot. I used 2nd or 3rd lightest spring but if memory serves me right, I believe the lightest spring takes you down to about 8oz (1/2 lb). What more could you ask for in a $15 product?

As mentioned, I've changed the spacer setup a few times, in order to get the least amount of engagement while still keeping things safe to handle... Once you've made the swap once, it takes virtually no time at all to test out the other springs and spacers.

Can't recommend it enough.
 
Thanks for the replies gentlemen. Another question: Is it true that the kit comes with enough parts to do two CZs, if I don't mind slightly different trigger pulls on each?

Not trying to cheap out, but if its possible to do my Varmint and Style with one kit, why not.

Well, alright. I'm cheap:D
 
I used the blue shim on one gun, and the green shim on another gun, but I used the heaviest spring on both guns, so I used parts from two kits. I also used the roll pin from each kit.
 
Is this rolled pin available elsewhere, like Canadian Tire or Lordco or some industrial supply house?

Is this rolled pin an essential part of the kit, say, can I not used the existing stock pin?
 
3/32x3/4 roll pin to replace the trigger assembly pin if it was peened over, makes removal and install much much easier.

you can get the pin at lordco or any other auto parts store.
