For those wondering about the slave pin, the option he showed is best. However, if you want, you can use the pin that holds the hammer spring in place as the slave pin for the sear. It is not the perfect length and I noticed that cocking the hammer back will make this easier. It sucks because if you realize you forgot anything or need to just change that spring out for the stiffer or softer spring, you will have to take your grips off. Either way, works in a pinch if you need it.
Excellent video, thankfully I kept broken punch pieces to use as slave pins in future. With this guide I was able to successfully install select CGW parts (I couldn't justify spending +$220 for full kit on a new gun). At a minimum, I recommend to install/replace short reset kit, reduced power plunger spring, hammer spring and metal guide rod. You'll save some $ and still notice improved performance where it counts.
Thank you. I just installed this kit today and your video took the mystery out. I didn't track my time, but it did not take long. As others have said, slave pins can be made from different items. I used an old allen wrench of the approximate diameter and broke it to the length needed. The lighter double action trigger is fantastic! I love my P-01 Omega!
BE CAREFUL REMOVING THE EJECTOR - The spring WILL shoot out. By a miracle it landed near me on the table when I was doing this. Big thanks for this video btw!
I am trying to build a modified kit - CGW + M*CARBO + RC Tech soft. Thank you for the listing in the beginning, which helped me figure out what is that extra spring. :-) I am sure I will come back later to rewatch the video for the actual install. I wish I were able to like twice, but I already liked the video before.
Cool...I installed the cgw pro kit in my P-07 but it didn't ship with any slave pins so I dremeled off a piece of one of my glock take down tools. According to my basic wheeler trigger gauge I've got a consistent 6 1/2 pound DA and a 3 pound SA. I love it! I was shocked to see how badly chewed up the stock firing pin retainer pin was...kinda scary because I carry it a lot.
Yeah I say it in other videos but I have a set of transfer punches that I use for slave pins, has a bunch of different diameters and you can make a bunch from just 1 size. Like 15 bucks at harbor freight. Also use the shanks of small drill bits works too. But yes this didn’t come with any I already had these from my Disassembly video.
You’re right I didn’t, I didn’t notice that, after the video I did some more work and must of put it back in then cause it’s there now. Thanks for pointing that out.
If would not see this video I could taken apart cz omega, but I would not put back. Thank You for Extremely helpful video. However I dont want to repeat reasembly part again.
This is a great video, thank you! That is not a comment praising any video - I watched several others, and yours shines. Using it, I just installed the Cajun kits on my P01 and P09. Thank you again. Several small things if may add: - I used the hammer pin as a slave pin for the trigger return spring. - I used a small piece of a toothpick for a slave pin for the sear. - The sear pin may go a little bit too deep, preventing the ejector from sitting all the way back. If the safety level does not go in straight, but it is crooked towards the trigger, that is the problem. - Be very careful when hammering the beast pin in the frame - the firing pin must be pushed firmly. Do not ask how I found out. - I personally prefer the safety, as I have the feeling the trigger is smoother than with the decocker. - On my P09, the single action trigger pull went up to 3.75 lbs from 2.5 lbs. Still good weight, but an unexpected side effect.
This was extremely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to put it together. Did the CGW kit come with the slave pins? If not, where did you get those?
Nice vid, thanks for making it. I didn't have slave pins so I got a cheap set of punches and cut two of them down to make my pins. Went with the safety instead of the decocker.
Hear me out. I just got a new P-01 Omega and the trigger feels great. I don't know if they vary but I'm wondering how much of an improvement there would be from this kit.
hmm that's fairly subjective, if you think the stock trigger feels great then I would think either you would notice a big difference, or you wouldn't notice any. Most people think the trigger sucks so when a kit is added we think it's the best thing ever. You said NEW so assuming brand new, I haven't touched a new p01 in a few years so maybe they've refined the trigger. Either way I think you would notice a difference, is that difference worth it? Hard to say. Have any buddies who have one with a trigger already swapped you could try?
Good video. However, I'm in the middle of a decocker install right now and it's been scary a few times. Im pretty sure its going to be fine but CGW is pretty damn reasonable for this job considering they do a consultation regarding how you'd like the trigger and they polish parts. I can't resist F'ing things up myself and learning, but I curse myself every time. That sear cage on the decocker is a bear for fat fingers. I can see it'll be easier the first time. The main thing is tap everything out Right to Left, DON'T force things and watch you don't rake a punch across the finish. Worst case you could send a box of parts to CGW afterwords. Although I'm sure they wont appreciate that advise. I just started dealing with them and bought 2 pro kits. They are nice people, by all accounts have a great product, and mail parts lightning fast.
Thinking about buying the CGW kit...is it worth doing? Great video brother!! Clear explanation and demonstration. I'm nervous about screwing up my Cerakote :)
Would you recommend doing this to a daily carry? Other CGW kits specifically state safe for defensive carry but the Omega kit did not. My assumption is yes but if it's a resounding no please tell me lol thanks
What to make slave pins from? and what size? Which sear spring did you use and why? Also, what happened with the hammer dis-connector? Did you have to do some persuading to get it down? Great video! This is priceless! Now I can learn my gun and save money and time!
I use a transfer punch set or the shanks on small drill bits, cut them to size shave the ends. And yes sometimes it gets stuck cause the pin slide out I just pushed the pin back in a little and it falls back down where it needs to be
You can go to harbor freight and buy a cheap set of transfer punches for like 15 bucks. Plenty of different diameters and you can make multiple slaves from just one of them
I put the white it, I had something happen during that part so I had to cut the video, this was my first video with a GoPro and editing on a computer so I probably didn’t get the cut right.
That spring my be something you’ll have to swap out to fine tune it a little more so if the single action pull isn’t what you’d like put the other one in. Want it a little lighter put the white in, little heavier the non colored one.
I'm having a hard time finding info on this so maybe you can help. I have a regular P01. I want to install the Omega trigger and decockers. Is this even possible? Is there a kit for that? CGW seems to only have stuff to modify the Omega version like you did.
My reset doesn't seem affected by the kit at all. And I sent it for CZ to install it themselves. It specifically says Short Reset Trigger but it's still very long. I can't see a difference.
This was a great video but that demo at the end made me feel like it's not really worth the money. That was still a long reset and a pretty big gap between the reset and the break.
Is this pretty much how the P07 is worked on? I installed my kit on that one and it’s also an omega trigger system- not sure if you measured the roller on your P01 or it’s the same size
Simple question: let’s say I just want to swap trigger shoes on an omega, do I need to fully disassemble the like how you had it or can I just remove decockers to free up that trigger bar?
I put this kit in the other day and used the colored, yellow sear spring. Went to the range and fired fine in d/a however I got hammer follow after slide cycled. The only difference is I used the 12# hammer spring. Any suggestion? I put in the stronger sear spring but have not been to the range.
Thanks for the how to! I want order this kit for my P01, but do you think it’s worth polishing it or just dropping it in? I have never polished a cz before so I’m wondering if it’s worth sending my gun to CGW to have it installed and polished. What are your thoughts?
I agree, good video. Verbal instructions and explanations are well done. One question, when CGW does the work they describe polishing. What part(s) are being polished? Thanks
@@TheGunBench I would assume that since you did not do the polishing it is not necessary. This is not criticism I am just trying to understand what polishing accomplished, or not. Thanks again for your help.
I did it afterwards but forgot to mention it during the video, necessary no but while it’s apart yes I would do it. Figured it would of taken to long to do on camera since I suck at doing any editing so I just did the parts install. I would recommend it providing you have a basic understanding of metal polishing
great video...got me inspired to do it myself. Only problem is I'm stuck at the beginning...can't get the damn decocker/pin seperated from the frame (7:34 mark). Any hints? I am able to get the spring disconnected, but the decocker just won't come loose.
I was able to get the entire job completed...thanks for the clear and straightforward guidance. It makes just enough of an improvement to be really good while maintaining it’s key defensive characteristics.
I love your knowledge on the p01 omega, I'm in a bit of a rut, after having the gun takin apart, I put the sear cage back together and now when I put the the decocker lever in there is just a little space that the decocker spring lever is passing the action to where the decocker is not making contact with the sear to decock the hammer, it's a head scratcher, have you ever had this issue? It's almost as if the decocker bar grew longer magically
Unfortunately I’m not exactly sure what you are meaning, if you are on facebook find the gun Bench Facebook page and message me, send pics, sorry it took so long I don’t really monitor CZcams much anymore like I should
I didn’t it was a mistake I didn’t notice until another viewer pointed it out, after I made the video I did some other work to the gun and put it back in then. It’s simple to put back in, but yes that was a mistake I should of caught
So, I’ve watch this throughout and was wondering would your recommend this to a novice gun tinker? Tried to mess around with a VP9, but god the half pin is an abomination and I’m still a little traumatized with the whole ordeal.
These are fairly easy really, I also have a complete disassembly video that goes into detail of the tear down a little more than this video. The vp9 can be a pain in the ass if you’ve never done one. You’ll only get better the more you do. That’s what I did. Self taught just takes some practice the more you do the more comfortable you’ll be!
@@TheGunBench wow, that was fun putting this back together with a piece of q-tips. Gotta do what you got a do when you don’t have the proper tools to make a pin. :)
Impossible- probably not it would take a while but you could probably get by without using one but you’ll never do it again. Slave pins can be made out of many things, I use broken punches, I’ve seen people use the litttle red straw on cans of aerosol spray, old drill bit shank cut to size exc. imo not worth trying to do it without it
I make them from a set of transfer punches but you can make them out of anything the same diameter. If you’re doing this job then I’d just order one from Cajun it’s the exact right size already

I see it is out of stock on their website, did you buy it recently? i just wanna know if they still restock it
I found remounting they slide with hammer down on frame really makes the firing retaining pin go in smoothly. Eggcellent video I learned alot.
Thank you so much for this video. I would have been lost with the kit installation without this video!
What tools will I need? What size punches?
Very nice! I now have no fear of installing parts in my P-01 Omega.
Thank you great video. I use this to install on my CZ 75B Omega successfully.
You make it look so easy. Great job. Thank you for the instructions.
Thanks! I appreciate it, glad I could help

great video. couldn't have installed without it. double action pull is soooo much better.
Thank you glad it helped, may do one on the p07 and the Cajun kit
Good video but I wish I could actually see the parts. The lighting isn't too well
I just ordered a P01 omega. Can’t wait. Your video was very comprehensive and well-explained. Thank you
Thank you I appreciate it, hope it helps, the omegas aren’t that bad, looking to get a standard p01 to do a video on
The Gun Bench I have yet to see what makes it bad in any regard.
My SP01 manual safety and my SP01 phantom have done exceptionally well.
Is there a polishing video for the Omega?
Impressive and super helpful. Thanks!

You kinda sound like Lindsey Graham. Awesome install vid btw, thank you.
Like Senator Lindsey Graham ? Lmao
i was thinking the same thing,lol. sounds just like him lol
So is the kit worth it or would it be better saving 200 odd bucks and just getting a lighter hammer spring?

My trigger does not have the hole for the small arm of the return spring, am I just an idiot or am I missing something I have a standard P01
The standard does not have a round hole, the leg drops into the square opening.

Impossible- probably not it would take a while but you could probably get by without using one but you’ll never do it again.

Yours may not be an omega
It is not. Didn’t think it would be so different.
Oh yeah pretty major big difference the omegas can switch between decocker and safety so the internal/seat block are different
where do you get the slave pins?
I make them from a set of transfer punches but you can make them out of anything the same diameter. If you’re doing this job then I’d just order one from Cajun it’s the exact right size already
@@TheGunBench I am not sure they are the same but for BD models you can use a qtip trimmed to the correct length
