Good stuff! Have one of these kits ready to go for the P07 I recently picked up. Looking forward to taking it all apart. I'll probably spend a little bit more time with the polishing. I know it'll be time consuming, but I enjoy products. I'll most likely have some content up on my channel as well.
Cool, just take your time. It took me about 2 hours. I could've polished more but it looked good enough. Good luck.
I made the MCarbo spring swap on my P09 which is essentially the longer version of the P07, and it made a heck of a difference. One thing I noticed is I had two primer light strikes using Blazer brass out of 200 rounds. I went ahead and swapped back in the old hammer spring and have not experienced any more light strikes. Overall, I really like the new feel the spring kit and polishing gave the gun. I can feel and anticipate exactly when it will fire now, and the mushiness is gone. It is super smooth. The breakdown and install can be intimidating to some. I'm a certified aircraft mechanic so it was very easy for me. Like he said in the video, removal and installation of the decocker assembly can be a pain but if you are patient with it, and watch the MCARBO video a couple of times, it won't be that bad. Just my two cents.
I've shot a po9 and it's just the bigger brother of the po7. I did a follow up video on the MCARBO. I do like it. Single action is fastly better. Have not had any malfunctions putting ball 115 grain and also blazzer 124gr.
@@FireBoxCampaign Could have been just my set up. I was using 115 grain. I think I will put the hammer spring back in and test again. Other than that, I really like the change the MCARBO spring kit makes overall. I use their products on several of my guns. Great videos by the way!
With mine after the kit I noticed the DA pull was smoother I also put a rushby industries flat faced trigger which also helped with finger placement getting more leverage at the bottom of the trigger and getting a consistent pull
How was the trigger? I saw on the website that you are supposed to replace the the springs before doing the trigger. I’m guessing using the Mcarbo kit would be the same thing?
I disassembled the gun and replaced the old springs with new and then changed trigger shoe
Just go slow take your time. The de-cocker reassembly was tricky. Just follow MCARBO's video you will be fine.
I did the same flat trigger and MCarbo kit. It did lighten the pull, but still has a ton of mush. I'm thinking about trying a cz shadow trigger shoe and she if it will work and make a difference. At this point I'd rather have a shorter pull.
What do you think about the rushby trigger shoe? I want one but thinking about CGW short reset upgrade. The cz trigger shoe isn’t bad but does rub the side of my finger sore.
Picking up my P07 in a day or 2 as my first handgun. Would love to see an update video on how you you feel about it now that you’ve owned it for a while. Great videos! Not a lot out there on the p07
Absolutely, thanks for the response.
Cabelas had the all black on sell for 480 last week. I went ahead and jumped on it asap. Been watching a few videos on the p07 not to many out there. I order the same kit and it should be arriving tomorrow. I already dissembled it and that was a pain so I'm not looking foward to reassembling it. Thanks for your video. Short and sweet. Hope you make more videos on this gun.
Grabagun has had them for $420 for ages.
Yes sir, defiantly will be more videos. Follow MCARBO's video you'll be fine. The de-cocker (lol) is tricky but take your time.
Did you install it? How was the performance?
I just got my kit, waiting on my slide to come back from Yagerwerkz. Can’t wait to get get everything installed.
That's awesome. More than likely, I'll get this milled as well.
I have 2 of these pistols. 1 with that same kit and 1 all original and did the same things you did with prepping it made a big difference all around. They claim changing to the safety lever lightens the trigger.
Heck yeah. I've had some more time behind the trigger since I did the install and I'm really liking it. Starting to break in nicely.
Had this done to my p07, makes a noticeable difference, more so on the SA.
Quick caveat had my internals polished as well. You are already in there, might as well knock it out!
I also polished. The change I also noticed was in the single action.
Even after polishing and lubricating everything there will still be a wear in period as the surfaces mate together. The more you shoot it or just dry fire it it should smooth out. Good job on jumping into a project like that if you've never done something like that before it can be a bit unnerving
Thanks, it was somewhat unnerving but I took my time. Happy with the results. I think after a thousand rounds it will be perfect.
I love the stock trigger in my P-07. Changing out the de-cocker for the safety lever was a pain. If you use a tiny screwdriver to lift the safety bar, you will have a better chance of getting it right the first time.
Yeah that's what I used as well. Took a few tries but it finally locked in. How do you like the safety over the decocker?
@@FireBoxCampaign I prefer it! Not trying to give away my age, but I carried a 1911 for three years, and the similarities are remarkable.
Such a great carry GUN. I am shocked the line has been discontinued. I guess people would rather have regret than a great gun.
If you polish up the hammer strut, the sides of the disconnector bearing and the individual pins, you will have a way better single action and a signifigantly reduced DA. I just did mine about 3 weeks ago. The secret to the decocker is to get everything lined up, cock the hammer and it will snap in.
I'm not sure I want to take it apart again. lol but a few thousand rounds should break it in too.
@@FireBoxCampaign I felt the same way, and took it apart 2 more times to polish the sides and shoulder of the disconnector bearing, and the hammer strut. It's really worth the effort!
I also fully polished the guide rod, and the difference is quite dramatic. I just finished editing my video also.
I dig your format 🤙 it's straight to the point.
I ended up at 6.6# DA and 3.2# SA.
Agreed. Polishing internal parts goes a long way. I threw the m carbo spring kit in and i think it improved both da and sa... but I polished at the same time. I changed too many variables in the experiment. 😂
I’ve had on mine for years and it makes a decent difference. It’s definitely no competition trigger
Definitely not a competition trigger. But for and EDC its decent. SA improved quite a bit. DA did smooth out some. Just need to put some rounds down range and I think it will break in nicely. Take your time on the install. Good luck.
I’ve had this gun for years and just now learned of the half cock feature that makes the double action not as long lol
I honestly don’t care if the DA is a little heavy as long as it’s smooth. If you appendix carry in the half cocked hammer position with one in the chamber, a heavier DA pull makes it that much more safe.
agreed. I need more time behind this trigger. I was hoping to get it as smooth as my PO1.
Mine came exactly like that out of the box. Heavy but smooth.
I wonder if all the P07’s double action pull is that bad, or if yours is just extra gnarly. I’ve almost bought one online a few times tbh
So yah. I was wondering the same. I know a lot of people love this gun so it's definitely popular. Maybe mine is just special.
@@FireBoxCampaign there is definitely something wrong with yours. It looks like something is snagging.
@bloodycrepe not sure what. I took the whole thing apart, and everything seemed okay.
@@FireBoxCampaign it's tough to tell. I would give CZ a call. I have a P01 Omega. Even though omega triggers are the worst CZ has, it's nowhere near as bad as your P07. You can also check P07 reviews on CZcams, none of them stack like yours. Also since mccarbo kit didn't lighten up the trigger pull, I think something is snagging.
It's hard to say what the double action trigger pull was before the installation of the kit as the scale was maxed out.
I can't say enough good about MCARBO. The videos (especially the ones with Chris the owner) are 1st rate and so are the parts they sell. The replacement parts always exceed the quaity of the original parts. They make good guns better.
agreed After more time behind the trigger after install I do notice a smoother more accurate trigger.
@@FireBoxCampaignso do you now consider the upgrade worth it? In your video you said it's not.
@@eeeeeee86678 The stock trigger is fine as is but I like to upgrade and try new things. I have now fired it more and yes it was worth it.
All DA ( non competition guns)are heavy, you should be looking for smoothness.
That's what I was trying to achieve with polishing. It did help. although 1000 rounds would've probably done the same in time. My PO1 is heavy as well but twice as smooth.
@@FireBoxCampaign yea.. I understand that because my first firearm was 🔨. I shot a sig legion and I was floored that my P07 was better.
Thanks for sharing. The main reason I wanted to install this was to lighten the DA. If that's the case I'm thinking twice about this kit.
DA smoothed out but didn't lighten. I believe there are other kits that change the hammer spring which should lighten up the DA. SA however is tits.
Get a Cajun Gun Works pro package and don't look back.
It didn't do anything for the DA but smooth it out. I'm really thinking about the pro package from cajun. But it is expensive compared to mcarbo.
It's worth every penny. Save up over time for it. It's not going anywhere.
@@weezem what does the pro package do for the pew, exactly? It doesn’t really describe the benefits on the site
It’s literally so cheap and effective. Of course it’s worth it.
I went MCARBO before a full CGW kit. It improved the trigger greatly for like $35 + 20 min polishing. The only negative was my return spring seemed underweight and I had a few trigger resets at the range that were so weak I had to assist it forward.
For $200 more for the CGW kit I have to say it’s leaps and bounds above the MCARBO spring kit (as it should be at this price point). MCARBO is a good improvement for the money but if you want the best experience possible folks need to shell out the money for CGW
I have more time behind the trigger now after the install and so far I'm enjoying it.
All you guys with these trigger kits on handguns… why?!!
I like to tinker, Plus it's like upgrading car parts just makes it better.
Arę you lost your mind? you did it wrong. you should reload / use decocer and then take data. This gun does not need nothing to the trigger besides run it around 500-1000 rounds thru it. That's all it needs. So, learn lesson than make video ;)
In conclusion, double action sucks
single action however is sweet as sugar.
It isn’t that bad. Still better than a revolver 😊
