Title: Discontinued Items that CZ should bring back (or make better)!
Post by: RXBear on May 14, 2025, 03:11:20 PM
This might be the only time I have to be critical with CZ. I will probably never buy a different brand as I have been shooting CZs since 2012 competitively in college. That being said, I'm kinda sad that they discontinue things.

If I could bring back some items:

1. Kadet 2
This is big for me because I could never get my hands on one and would really love to get some practice out of my SP-01 Tactical without breaking the bank via 9mm. The newer SP-01 Kadet might be ok too, but from what I've read, the Kadet 1/2 have better materials.

2. P-01 Omega
I loved CZ for introducing the option to change things. I'm a biased due to owning an SP-01 Tactical, but personally feel that the SP-01 look to the frame and slide are "classier" than the Shadow's boxy and angular frame. Instead of helping this fan base, now P-01 regulars are 800+ MSRP? I thought they were in the 5-600 range. Am I weird to think that the Shadow 2 Carry isn't aesthetic at all? I certainly don't think the price range is warranted compared to a Cajunized P-01 and that was what I thought about the omega variant. It took everything we liked about a P-01 Cajunized and did their spin.

3. SP-01 Kadet
Same reason for the 1st one, but I wish there was a full steel version of this.


What do you guys think they should bring back or improve?

I would like to see CZ bring back the Rami BD, but make it Optics Ready and with a rail on the dust cover.

I could make a list but will only say no metal framed Omegas and almost no .40's has pushed me to M&Ps.  Takes more money to make an M&P shoot to suit me (sometimes you get a really good one though) but I get what I want.  Ambidextrous thumb safeties and .40's.

I have the CZ Kadet Kit on my 75 Compact.  Great shooter, but I too would like a dedicated Kadet .22 also.  Polymer would be fine.  Taking a look at what's out there I don't think there's much chance of that.  It seems like every Gun  manufacturer has sever models of .22's out there.  Would CZ add another?  Probably not.

Stainless P-06 Optic Ready with 4 inch barrel.  Kadet conversion kits. Stainless 83 in both 32 and 380. A longslide 97 in 10mm with adjustable sights.

So many things to wish for.

I love my Kadet but unless CZ can offer a double stack mag with a minimum 15 round capacity it will never succeed commercially. They also need to have mags that don’t cost $40+. Heck might as well wish for the moon and have base plate extensions capability. Dang I’m going all in : optic ready. What the heck; a full-size alloy frame!
