It's been a while since I've been on this forum so I figured I'd do a public service and write a review of Cajun Gun Works.
https://cajungunworks.com/
My experience with guns:
I've tinkered with a lot of guns. I don't typically send anything out for work. I have Cerakoted rifles, welded brakes, camo patterned frames, trigger jobs, stippled, speed cut etc. There is very little I won't venture to do myself.
The Company
Cajun is owned (I assume) by a guy named David. He specializes in parts for CZ's and some of their clones. From speaking to him I infer that he designs the parts himself.
The Prescription:
David listens to what I'm trying to achieve and prescribes a detailed list of parts right over the phone. Then he proceeds to tell me what I am going to get after I install his parts.
Exactly how much overtravel, trigger weight, trigger break feel, reset travel, primer requirements if necessary etc.
He has yet to be wrong on any of my guns. He literally tells me his expected trigger travel in tenths of a millimeter and his expected trigger weights in tenths of an ounce.
Service:
David picks up the phone himself. Yes he actually does. There is no navigation of menu's, sales, services etc.
I had an issue trying to remove a barrel bushing one time and rang them up. David explained how he removes them and then got creative when I gave him a list of tools I had laying around. Together over the phone we figured out a creative way of getting the job done with the tools I had at my disposal.
Parts:
His parts are exceptional. I have seen many parts in many guns before. These are high quality and their fitment to the gun (and with each other) is impeccable.
I remember when I received my factory new SP-01 and thought to myself that it was a decent gun but nothing special. When I had all the parts in, the gun was totally transformed.
Contrasting this with other parts manufacturers:
You are rarely ever buying all your aftermarket parts from the same place. In my experience if you do that, some of the parts will be great, others will not. You'll end up with a mix-and-match of parts and then potentially fitment or reliability issues. (less with Glock parts)
A perfect example of this is my Tanfoglio. I literally spent 2 months working on the gun almost every other night (when not waiting for a new shipment of parts).
I have literally over $400 in redundant parts (3 different triggers, 2 hammers, 2 sears, 2 disconnectors...the list goes on) and I still cannot get it to the quality of my SP-01. I certainly chased the trigger on that one and regret it.
You can literally buy everything you need to make CZ's competition ready or just amazingly nice guns all in one place and be assured that all the parts work well together which is absolutely key.
I believe so strongly in his parts that I decided to purchase a new gun because I found out that he was going to manufacture parts for it. Yes the logic is a little backwards. I'll be ordering those parts as soon as I have the gun in my hands.
Disclaimer:
I am not paid by Cajun nor am I receiving free parts or anything. Cajun does not know I'm posting this. I'm just really impressed. I'm actually often impressed by the service offered by many manufacturers in the gun industry but rarely impressed in every other area as well.
Anyway I hope this is helpful for anyone who has a CZ or is looking to buy one.
I have heard great things about CZ Custom as well but have no experience other than using their grips.
And if you don't own a CZ yet, you should start to look into it.
