From what I've read, switching over to SAO is a simple process ie. swapping out to a SAO trigger and remove the disco. I've read a SAO hammer smoothes it out some more.
Yes, I can't wait to try it, I will know by Thursday, unfortunately I won't be able to compare to stock trigger as I have not fired the pistol yet, I will be installing a 13lb main and an 11lb recoil at the same time, pretty confident from what I have researched this combo of springs will work without issue, if so I will try lighter main springs when I have more time to spend at the range. If i have any issues i will just return to stock to compete in 3gun match on the 27th.
you may or may not want an extended firing pin/reduced power firing pin spring. I believe tenda has the extended firing pin in stock rn.
Yes I had considered it, I was hoping to find all the stuff I wanted at one place to avoid shipping costs from multiple places, the trigger was what I wanted the most and Wolverine had a 13lb main aswell so I figured I'd start with that.
tenda has both of em too and a recoil spring.
Well WTH....i looked on their site numerous times and could have swore I didn't see that TS trigger, I seen the flat blade CZ custom trigger but wasn't gonna pay $80 for it, would have just ordered an Eemann trigger, was sure some of their springs were sold out when I looked last week aswell, I very well could be wrong though, have looked at too many sites I think, lol. I see the ext FP but only see the factory FP spring, Not the RP FP spring.
I'd shoot it without the extended firing pin. I'm running a 10lb main and RP firing pin spring and have no need for the extended firing pin. You should be with a 13lb mainspring and the factory firing pin spring. If you use a RP firing pin spring and a 13lb mainspring, you might find your firing pin getting stuck protruding out from the FP hole like I did. If you go with an 11lb mainspring, then for sure, get the RP firing pin spring.

Sorry, I had a typo. I meant to say "without" the extended firing pin.
Going with a lighter mainspring will reduce the double action pull weight and lighten up the single action pull weight a little. It has more impact on the double action weight than the single action weight. When you go below 13lbs, you need to balance it with a reduced power firing pin spring to ensure primer ignition or you may end up with light primer strikes.
Changing to a lighter weight recoil spring helps with recoil management but too light could result in beating up your pistol. So far, a 11lb recoil spring is working well for me. I haven't seen any peening on my slide lock or buffer.
Made it to the range today, all I can say is that I have zero regrets buying this pistol, I installed the CZ TS SAO trigger and you actually dont have to remove the diconector, 11lb recoil and 13lb recoil 100 rounds later zero issues and wow it is very accurate in my hands, I shot it side by side with my Beretta Compact M9A1 which is my go to gun and have many rounds thru it and also very accurate when I do my part, but I shot tighter groups with ease and very little trigger time with the CZ. The small 1mm FO rod is awesome IMO, prior to shooting it thought it should be larger but definitely changed my mind, the gun has such a mild recoil aswell, way less than the Beretta which I thought was pretty good.
Wouldn't it be standard class? Like uspsa limited?
Ahh, you could be right.
