CZ 75 Kadet Adapter II 22 LR

**Mouse over image above to zoom any area, or click on image to zoom the entire image.

The CZ 75 Kadet conversion kit is a separate accessory for the CZ 75/85 pistol series allowing the firing of .22 LR caliber cartridges.

The CZ 75 fitted with the Kadet .22LR conversion is the perfect training or plinking pistol with the slide weighted and balanced just like the CZ 75. The Kadet adapter features all-steel construction and an adjustable rear sight.

Included are 2 10-round magazines that fit flush with grips of the full size CZ 75 and SP-01 models.  The Kadet conversion kit will work on the CZ 75 compact and sub-compact models including the 75 Compact, P-01, P-06,  PCR, and RAMI, but note that the full-size magazines will extend out of the bottom of the shorter grips on these models. The Kadet conversion will not work on the 97, 75 TS, P-07 or P-09 models.

When used in competition-oriented or modified 75 series pistols like the Shadow, a factory-weight 75 mainspring may be required to provide proper primer ignition.

CZ did awesome when they developed the Kadet II adapter. I use the adapter on my CZ compact and 75B and have not had any jams whatsoever! I was so surprised about the accuracy of the adapter when using 1280 fps .22LR rounds. It gives me so much more time for practicing my shooting without the cost of 9mm or .40 rds. You have the same feel of the weapon, sights are very similar, and the accuracy is unbelievable. It is very quick to install on another CZ and cleaning is a breeze! CZ is #1 in my books!

The Kadet Adapter is excellent. Needed a little shaping, which was simple to do myself but a gunsmith could perform the adaption easily. With today’s ammunition costs, the adapter gives me the range time without the heavy expense. It’s also great for teaching my wife to shoot. I would definitely recommend it!!!

The Kadet Adapter II fit my CZ 75 Compact perfectly without any modifications to the slide. I am pleased with the quality of the adapter. On the range, using standard velocity ammo, it performed flawlessly. It is a little harder to manipulate the slide when compared to the 9mm slide but the design is what adds to the adapter's ability to cycle with each round. There isn't a last round hold open feature. Loading the magazines will tax your fingers with sharp edges. Adapter comes with two mags and I purchased three more to reduce time spent at the range reloading mags. Very happy with the product.

If you are not into reading lengthy reviews, then here's the abridged version...buy this!
If you own a CZ 75 and, like many, the cost of ammo is keeping you from shooting as much as you'd like...this is the solution. The Kadet .22 adapter is not some chintzy afterthought slapped together to earn the company a buck...it's a legitimate piece of kit. The quality matches that of the CZ 75 in both looks, feel, and performance. Because the Kadet is all steel, even the weight stays nearly the same (a bit heavier actually). If you shoot competitively this kit will give you the same draw feel, same sight picture (assuming you have stock sights), same grip, same weight, and same trigger pull. The only difference is recoil.
I own several other conversion kits for other pistols and most are just fine for plinking at the range and practice. But the Kadet is a proper .22 pistol when mated with your CZ 75 frame. Because the entire slide doesn't reciprocate, only a small portion, there are less failures when shooting less powerful .22 ammo. I ran 20 year old "bucket of bullets" through it without a single failure. It's accurate too...a real tack driver.
Yes...it's expensive. Yes...it costs as much as a whole gun. But that's not the point here. The point is to enjoy shooing your fine CZ 75 for less cost. With the high cost of 9mm at this time, the Kadet EASILY pays for itself in one or two trips to the range.
The only nit I can pick is the 10 round capacity. Shooting .22, you'll blow through 10 rounds in seconds and the included magazine isn't an easy load type with a little thumb nub that slides the follower down. Extra mags are hard to come by too. All of my other conversion kits are 15 round and one kit has available 25 round magazines. Not so with the Kadet. You need to get used to loading the magazine, because you'll be doing it a lot.
Lastly, because this is a QUALITY kit, the slide needs to be hand fit to your gun. If you own a flat file, it's very easy to do. The slide is made to fight tight, so it will be a little too big for your frame and you need to file it down a bit as indicated by the included instructions. THIS IS NORMAL and is a big part of what makes the Kadet so good. It's a custom hand fit to your particular frame.
There are so many reasons to buy this kit. Trust me, when you get to the range, or the woods, or wherever you're going shooting....you are going to grin from ear to ear shooting this things.

Was pleased to be notified this item was back in stock which allowed me to get it for a few bucks less at that moment, before the price went up. What I like about it is that it comes with 2 mags and I did not need to do any filing on the adapter kit as mentioned in the instructions. It fit together nicely on the CZ 75 frame out of the box without needing an adjustment by myself or a gun smith.
I would like to have given this adapter kit a higher rating and would have if it were not for the following. The adapter is difficult to install on the CZ 75 frame, which is done of course by lining up the two notches in order to take out the slide release, which is more difficult to do than when putting on or taking off the normal 9mm top. It's very easy to have your fingers pinched a few times in this process. Once the adapter is on the frame, the slide is difficult to grasp and pull back. The magazines do not fit flush at the bottom and stick out an inch or so. The magazines are difficult to load and result in sore fingers. In spite of the above, I do like & enjoy the adapter kit, but if I had known before hand about the awkward features, and especially for the price, I would have just bought something similar to the CZ 75 Kadet (complete 22LR pistol) and saved myself the pain.

Perfect accessory for my CZ85 Combat. I was surprised by th accuracy when first sighting in at 15Yds. Using shoot and see targets I noticed after 3 rounds that I only hit the target once. Upon a closer look, 3 shots touching!! Buds has the best pricing I had found. Not to mention, they had it in stock.

Out of the box this kit fit my CZ-75 Compact perfectly. Feels like I'm shooting a pistol designed for .22 long rifle ammunition. Magazines are full size, but work fine in the compact size pistol. The first 50 rounds of cheap Winchester M-22 fed without any problems, and the sights were accurate at 7 yards. I recommend getting a magazine speed loader for this kit, as the top of the magazines are unusually sharp. I look forward to getting a lot more practice in with this kit.

Tight fit on my CZ 75 Tactical 9mm. Have not fired it yet but hope to soon. Thanks for your quick response!

Another great CZ product, worked perfectly right out of the box, no complaints, excellent .22lr trainer. Fun product to practice with and learn on.

If you love your 75 as much as me (two 75s and one Shadow II Target) this .22LR setup is perfect! I can now afford to practice as much as I should. No malfunctions and terrific accuracy so easy to focus on procedure and experiment. If there is a difference in weight and balance from the 9mm slide/barrel my hands don't detect it. My only complaint is for all 75s (including this conversion) and my RAMIs - the funky shift the slide a smidge and force the barrel retention pin out. But the weight, balance, feel, and spot-on accuracy are well worth the disassembly aggravation.
