CZ75 tune up cost ??

To go along with Bob's info here's a link to a picture by picture, step by step on changing out the spring and doing some basic polishing to the action parts. The polishing should be done on the very finest sharpening stone. This would be something like a fine arkansa stone. If it's a brown looking india stone then it's too coarse to leave a nice finish. Another option for a polishing tool is some 800 grit wet or dry sandpaper backed up on a nice block of known flat aluminiun or steel. Use some mineral spirits as the lubricant for the sandpaper.

If all that looks like Greek hyroglyphics to you and you think the $200 to get the nice trigger job is worth it then go for it. But if you just do the springs you'll get around 80% of the same feel over all.
 
One major word of caution. If you have the dexterity of a slug DON"T attempt what appears to be so easy. I tried this and there is, in my gun room, one detent spring....somehwere. Gunnar happily put my gun back togeather. :D "A man has to know his limitations:.

Go with the spring replacement, shoot the heck out of your gun and be happy with one of the best trigger pulls out there or spend $200 for a slightly better trigger pull that you may or may not see translate into better shooting for yourself.

Personally, unless you are near Master class, I doubt the additional improvement will translate into better scoring for you. Practice lots and by the time you reach near perfection you will have worn the parts to the point where you have achieved the polishing job you wanted in the first place.

I can shoot with the "B" Class shooters in IPSC and the Sharpshooter class shooters in IDPA and the gun still out shoots me by miles.

It is the archer not the arrow believe me.

Take Care

Hell, having a better trigger can actually mess you up for a while. I shot my own Shadow for the better part of a year in dead stock condition. I recently got the lighter springs and did the polishing steps in that link. The trigger feels fantastic now. The groupings under slow practice tightened up a little and the first double action shot became a LOT more easy to put on target. I thought all was now right in the world.

Off I went to shoot a local Speed Steel match and suddenly I'm missing by just a bit all over the place. 4.5 boxes of ammo vs 3.5 boxes to complete the match. The new trigger just threw me off enough that near hits became near misses.

I'll re-learn to shoot it as well or better than before but it was a lesson in humility to know that even a small change can affect one's shooting. I would not have expected this as I shoot a variety of handguns all the time and do passingly well with them all.
 
Thanks for the link BCRider I am sure it will help and I will be very carefull I don't want springs and things flying everywhere and have figure out where they go..:) It looks form the pics that replacing the mainspring is not too hard and I think I will see what the gun is like after that first then start to look at the polishing and stuff......baby steps, one at a time.
