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.

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.
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.

A:Hi Mark and welcome to the Buds Community. Yes it has been discontinued. I would check large websites like (6)unbroker - just replace the (6) with a G or Guns International as hard to find firearms, accessories and ammunition are for sale by small shops and private individuals. gunsinternational.com/ --------- Cheers and stay safe!See 1 more answer | -
