Title: Kadet advise please
Post by: Firemanjones on November 05, 2014, 06:26:02 PM
I have decided to use my P-01 as a temp host frame. The 75BD is just to great of a 9mm shooter to share, as is my PCR.
I purchased the P01 on a whim and hardly shoot it, so why not use it for the Kadet?
The kit came with a slide stop. I have no idea what pistol it fits, but I know it doesn't fit the P-01.
I have read on this forum that I will have to call CZ and have them send one to me. Is this correct?
Also, does any one make sleeves for the mags to fill the gap between the frame and mag base?

The slide stop will work on a 75b, probably others.  You need a PCR slide stop for the Kadet to lock open on the P-01.
So what I did was called CZ-USA and talk to the warranty dept.  They will take the serial number of both the Kadet kit and your P-01, and then mail one out to you at no charge.  I did not have to return the original Kadet slide stop, which is good because I also use it on my 75b.

Not sure about the sleeves, but yes someone had posted about them before.

You van change the base plates to make the mags a flush fit.

That's what you need.

Have you done this yourself?
The reason I ask is they look pretty much the same in the picture.

Painter grabbed the wrong base. This is the one you need.

Has anyone tried the mag base?
I called CZ and they are sending out the PCR slide stop free of charge.

When I asked CZ if they would work, they stated no, there is nothing that can be done about a unflush mag.
Does anyone have any pictures with the Kadet on a P-01 with those bases?

Thank you so much!
You would think these guys at CZ would know this.

Here is the Burning Question. The only difference in the two bases is the length so WHY is the shorter ones more expensive? I just cannot see $2 worth of difference when the one that uses the most material is the cheapest!!

In today's economy I think I have the answer.

I doubt CZ does their own injection molding. They're buying these from someone else.

CZ buys/sells many more fullsize mags as opposed to compacts. They buy cheaper and sell cheaper.

edit...

and I know of one member here that has used the base plates on the Kadet mags for his  P-01 and they work and look great.

I have a PO-1 with the Kadet and did exactly as M3Scott said.
It has been working flawlessly for a couple of years and hundreds of rounds.
Enjoy the Kadet on the PO-1, it has been a great combo.
Best,
Richard

OR ! ! !
Since Joe (75plus) won't toot his own horn, I'll toot it for him ( Boy, does that sound wrong ! )....anyway
You can have Joe "Fix" you up with his customized / stainless Base Plates to fit Kadet Mags to the Compact:

Thanks Den, 

The link takes one to the last post in the thread which is not for the compacts. Scroll to the top for Kadet info.

Looks so natural .... I love it
Just as if they were made that way at the Factory   8)
CZ should make more and offer them as an option for the Kadet Mags   ;)

The slide stop will work on a 75b, probably others.  You need a PCR slide stop for the Kadet to lock open on the P-01.
So what I did was called CZ-USA and talk to the warranty dept.  They will take the serial number of both the Kadet kit and your P-01, and then mail one out to you at no charge.  I did not have to return the original Kadet slide stop, which is good because I also use it on my 75b.

Not sure about the sleeves, but yes someone had posted about them before.

I've called CZ and e-mailed them twice about this issue with my new Kadet kit and P01.  I can't get a response from them.  I'm about ready to just return my Kadet kit and be done with it.

Anyone else have this problem with the CZ warranty dept.

I would suggest calling them on the phone. When i had an issue with my CZ97 i called them, then emailed some pictures with a detailed description of my issue and the trouble shooting i had done. Things went real smooth. CS was top notch.

When you said you called them did you speak with anyone?
When I called the warranty dept. and explained he transferred me to sales of parts and they sent out the PCR slide stop. It is always better to talk to a person over email.

Nope left a message, and another message earlier today.  Called again a sec ago and got a real person, so they are sending the part out today.

Thanks.

I didn't get a slide stop that will hold the slide open on the last shot with my Kadet kit but it hasn't been an issue for me. I'm not using the Kadet for combat or SD so I'm OK with the occasional "click".

With the current cost of Kadet kits , I expect it to work correctly.

If it was much cheaper, I'd be forgiving on issues like this.

You are correct, at that price it should work properly and CZ has come through.
