Cajun Gun Works (CGW) — CZ Action Parts & Trigger Kits

Cajun Gun Works is the most trusted name in CZ action work for competition shooting. Based in West Monroe, Louisiana, CGW has been transforming factory CZ pistols into precision competition guns for decades — and their parts are backed by an unconditional lifetime warranty to the original purchaser, even when used in competition. If you shoot a CZ in USPSA Production, Carry Optics, or IPSC Production, CGW is where your trigger upgrade comes from.

The CGW Pro-Package — The Standard CZ Competition Trigger Upgrade

The CGW Pro-Package is the flagship product and the most popular CZ trigger upgrade kit on the market. It transforms your factory CZ into a precision action with a smooth 6 lb DA pull and a crisp 3 lb or less SA pull — all while remaining USPSA Production legal. The Pro-Package includes CGW's famous Reach Reduction Kit (RRK), which permanently repositions the trigger rearward with the hammer fully cocked to shorten trigger reach and reset to 1mm. Available for:

  • CZ Shadow 2 — the most popular USPSA Production and IPSC Production pistol
  • CZ Shadow 1 / 85 Combat — same kit as Shadow 2
  • CZ TS2 / Tactical Sport
  • CZ Czechmate
  • CZ P-01, P-07, P-09, 75B, SP-01 — platform-specific kits available

CGW Standard Package

Everything in the Pro-Package without the Reach Reduction Kit — ideal for shooters who prefer factory trigger reach or are building on a budget. Delivers the same smooth DA and crisp SA pull as the Pro-Package. Note: approximately 80% of the time the CGW disconnector will require minor fitting; CGW tech support is available to assist.

Reach Reduction Kit (RRK)

The CGW Reach Reduction Kit is available separately for shooters who already have a CGW trigger kit installed. Permanently repositions the trigger for shorter reach and 1mm reset — USPSA Production approved. One of the most impactful single-part trigger upgrades available for the CZ platform.

Individual Parts & Springs

Beyond complete kits, CGW produces an extensive line of individual CZ parts including:

  • Reduced power hammer springs (HS-12000 / 11.5#) — the single biggest per-dollar trigger improvement for any CZ
  • Extended firing pins — pairs with reduced hammer spring for reliable ignition
  • Race hammers and trigger pins
  • Disconnectors — the heart of the CGW trigger job
  • Stainless steel guide rods — standard on race-built Shadow 2 pistols worldwide
  • Recoil springs — tuned for competition ammo power factors
  • Sear spacers, hammer pins, and small parts

USPSA & IPSC Production Legality

CGW trigger kits, Pro-Package, Standard Package, and Reach Reduction Kit are all USPSA Production legal and approved for IPSC Production division. The 1mm reset achieved with the RRK is specifically noted as USPSA Production approved. Always verify with current rulebook before competing.
