Happiness is a new gun 2

[dao]

Yeah I thought that might peak your interest seeing as how you were just saying you had a hankering for a new LW Commander. It's a nice gat for sure. I had no idea they existed until John brought it up. Seems that they came out about the time I bought my P210, and stopped looking for the next one.

Beautiful gun.

Beautiful gun.

Thanks, it's my BBQ Gun - LOL!
I've carried it, but it's just to damn pretty to carry...

Maybe we need a BBQ Gun thread?

I’m leaning toward a CZ75 Compact, P-01 Omega. I wish they’s use simpler names, that’s hard to remember at the gun store.

I keep wanting a T9, though. I watched a Youtube review where the guy said T was for Target. Never heard that before.

If you get a CZ, remember Cajun Gun Works is your friend. Hammer spring change is probably all you’ll want to do to lighten up the trigger slightly. The Omega is easy to polish the internals with some 800 then 1000 grit and it will be smooth as silk.

I’ll keep that in mind. Hopefully they’re easier to do surgery on than other guns I’ve tweaked.

From all I've read, seen, and heard they are great triggers. The Omega actually refers to the trigger system and it is in more than just one model of CZ. It's supposed to be a marked improvement over its predecessor, and that was a pretty good trigger too. One of the perks is that they come with both a decocker and a safety, as separate parts, and you get to decide which of them to have on the gun. So if you want to carry condition one you can, with the safety. Otherwise you use the decocker and the DA is your safety, much like a Kahr, and also some other DA/SA guns. I should have bought one long ago...

Here is probably more information than anybody wants to know as best as I can remember from working on mine. Maybe it will help someone one day.

The Omega trigger system on the CZ is a good option for the novice/home gunsmith to work on and tinker with. Easy breezy.
The Omega system uses a trigger bar on one side of the frame similar to Kahr, Glock, and other modern pistols.

The original CZ with a safety only and no decocker uses a trigger bar similar to 1911’s that goes down both sides of the frame, but it is DA/SA, you just have to lower the hammer manually. It has a “Sear cage” and is a little more challenging to tinker with or work on polishing things up but it can be done pretty easily.

The original (non-omega) decocker only “BD” models have the same trigger bar as the safety only version running down both sides of the frame, but the “sear cage” is different and can have you saying words that shouldn’t be said in front of children. There is a small spring about the thickness of a hair that likes to fly out and get lost, and if I remember right it’s for the safety plunger actuator and it won’t work right without it. I have 4 BD models and have taken them all apart so it can be done, it just may not be too fun putting it back together.

I only have the P-07 and P-09 omega models that have polymer frames and haven’t handled a metal frame omega version. The polymer frame DA Omega trigger to me is not as nice out of the box as the original version. Probably because there is rubbing of the single trigger bar against the side of the frame but a lot of that can be polished up. I would bet it wouldn’t be much of an issue on the metal frame guns because the frame is more rigid than the polymer frame pistol and a drop of lubricant would take care of it. That said, there is nothing wrong with the trigger in any of them. The DA trigger is not bad and the SA trigger is sweet, and my polymer P-07 is a tack driver.

To me the original safety only model has the best trigger, but I like the decocker version best because I like the decocker feature. The DA trigger on the original metal frame guns smooths out really nice too. there is nothing wrong with any of them though, omega or original.

That is helpful, thanks.
