You make this look SOOO easy! Took me about three hours! I lost first lifter spring in about the first 5 seconds. I don’t think I’d make a very good bull rider. Couple hours later, I thought I had it right but messed up the lifter spring. Put it back together again with a new lifter spring, but forgot to put the hammer in first. The third time took me only about half an hour. You do it in about 20 seconds! AMAIZING SKILLS, my friend!
Awesome video! I’ve been flirting with the idea of buying either the pro package or the idpa production decocker kit for my PCR recently, and after watching this I think I’ll try to do it at home.
I'm confused that you're driving the firing pin retaining pin out of the new P-01 from left-to-right! Everything that I have been told about CZ's is this roll pin is flaired on the left side and MUST be driven out from right-to-left. Please clear this up. Thank you.
Take this with a grain of salt, but I’ve removed mine a couple times. I believe you can remove it either way but you have to install it left-right because of flair on the roll pin. It’s good to make sure the center line of the pin is facing up or down as well.
The official CZ armorer's manual does, indeed, advise to drift the pin out from right side to left side. Using just finger pressure, without any tools, trying to insert the pin in on the right side is tighter. Drift out right to left, drift in left to right. 👍
May be mixing up with the sear cage pin on decockers. On those, the pin hole on the right side of the frame is ever so slightly undersized to prevent it from drifting out. Those absolutely must be drifted out right to left. Only the CGW slave pin can be drifted out left to right (when drifting the actual sear cage pin *in* left to right) as it's slightly undersized. The factory firing pin retaining roll pin is indeed flared, but it's soft enough that it shouldn't matter too much.
Funny but the first part that broke in my Shadow2 was the trigger pin so it came out all by it's self & yes I replaced it with the CGW floating Trigger pin & their light trigger return spring.

There’s no shoulder preventing it from moving either way if that’s what your wondering. It’s just the installation orientation that’s important.

Thank you, these videos are much appreciated....
Does CGW, CZ, or CZ custom sell model specific armorers manuals for
each CZ model of handgun?
Do you have a video on this ‘bench’ setup?

Thank you for this video!!
Just got my pro package. Turns out I dont have a single punch small enough for these pins and roll pins
