There is(should be) a test fire target pattern in the box with date.Originally Posted by pew_pew
IMO lots of dry fires isn’t a bad thing because the trigger has some time on it, and smoothed out. Then again it might need a new CGW firing pin now.

I picked up my new(4 year old) P07 today. Love the feel in hand. Looking forward to range time asap. Thanks for the help!
Order a couple of CGW trigger return springs while you're at it. I've broken two factory TRSs on my 75 Omega through dry firing.

New JMCK OWB 2 in brown Raptor for the P-07. This will be my backcountry rig.

Kudos for the tip - that tool is awesome, although I found the “fat” side handier.This $8.00 tool helps with installing the decocker spring.

Plus you get a bunch of extra watch band pins.

I previously installed the 97098 Pro-Grade Upgrade Kit P-07 P-09, which claims:
I’d say I agree with CGW’s claims, but there was noticeable creep in the DA trigger that I wasn’t really happy with, so this past week I went though the polishing process using this reference: The Original CZ Forum: How to Tune, Smooth and Upgrade the P-07/P-09. So far I’ve only had time to do the lower. I haven’t done the slide and safety plunger yet, and, while I relieved the trigger bar spring, I didn’t relieve it as much as was in the picture.All the parts for elevating your P-07/09 to a Professional Grade level of performance. Delivers a superb, crisp, 1911 like SA, 8.8 – 8.12 pound DA, and reduces the SA reset an amazing 50% for effortless double-taps. Install this kit and you’ll be outshooting firearms that cost 2-3 times more. Turns your P-07 P-09 into a world class pistol. All CGW parts carry a lifetime warranty.
New results: On the DA the trigger gauge goes to the full pull weight early then swings through to completion without increasing in weight, therefore there is little/no stacking. Pulling the trigger slowly there is very little creep,, and pulling it through normally I detect no creep. DA pull weight is averaging about 7.5 lbs but there is more variability than before so I think I am still breaking it in post polish job. SA is running a pretty consistent 3.0 lbs and smooth.
I’m not done with the polish job but I think this is more than serviceable at this point. I need to take it out for a spin on the range and run a few hundred rounds though it with my CCI (hard) primers reloads.
My JMCK 2.5 P-09 holster came in - Thanks @Tony Mayer!!!
I prefer the slightly longer holster plus it also covers the longer suppressor-ready barrel perfectly. I did this one without the pad as I am finding even trimmed down pads on my JMCK 2.5/Glock 17 (G19 pistol) pads a little uncomfortable on my bony-ass pelvic region. Comfort on this new holster seems better than the Glock for whatever reason (I think the butt of the gun rides slightly higher), and the new style claw with replaceable offset seems like a good idea as well.
Access to the grip on this holster is strong, comfort seems good wearing it around the house all day. I need to test the gun thoroughly before I’ll be willing to carry it for real, but I am hopeful this is goign to work out.
Next up: Some fine tuning and a lot of reliability testing and some G19 vs. P-07 speed/accuracy testing from equivalent AIWB holsters.

A few more details - I used a piece of glass to polish the trigger bar and flat parts, and I used progressive 400-800-1200-2000-3000 grit sandpaper vs. my usual 2000 grit max, keepoing the item very flat against the paper/glass surface and moving ina. Figure-8 motion. Note Amazon deals on packs of variable grit sandpaper are better than ever - more pieces and a wider range of grits are available than in past years.
When I used the dremel and buff wheel I was using the 5-stage solid colored polishing compounds. For pin holes I used the dremel and pieces of cut-off Q-tip loaded with Simichrome polishing compound liquid paste. For larger items I chucked them in the drill and used the 2000-3000 grit sandpaper.
With respect to the trigger bar spring I just bent it mostly at the sharpest bend then re-thought it and spread out the bend over a wider area. I have a stack of inexpensive spares and they are relatively easily replaced so I have no fear to experimenting. It didn’t occur to me to polish the end of the spring which makes contact with the trigger bar, and and side of the trigger bar where the spring contacts it. I’ll take care of this in a future polishign pass.
I am also idly curious to see whether the pistol would be reliable with hard CCI primers with the competition hammer spring. I might have to give this a try. If it could run hundreds or thousands of roungs of hard-ass CCI’s (my Tanfo’s aren’t even 100% with them) in practice sessions (I’m not always kind to my practice gear) I’d have plenty of confidence that they would pop Federal HST’s.
On the holster I am very pleaed with the concealability, especially with combined with my new Graith Specialist belt, thanks @Mack!

My Prograde P07 fires CCI primers with no problem.

Since the Pro Grade kit includes a roller, and we now know that the proper roller size varies by pistol, and is essential to reliable double action function, how are those of you installing these parts determining whether you have the proper roller size?
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
The medium roller that came with my kit worked. 2400 rounds now with no failures.
