Title: which way to go: a new cadet or cadet conversion for75b?
Post by: Unregistered(d) on May 08, 2002, 06:30:23 PM

in reference to my previous post what is the difference between a whole brand new kadet pistol vs. the kadet conversion for a cz75b.  is the receiver of both pistols the same? if they are the same i would be inclined to have two cz75's and one conversion rather that a cz75 and a kadet pistol. is the kadet pistol better, and more accurate and reliable than a kadet conversion on a 75b?  thanks.

The entire frame of the pistol is the 75B.  The slide and barrel are the conversion.  The pistol's safety, hammer, etc. are the 75 B.  It really is a neat conversion - remove the slide stop, take off the 9mm slide assembly, zip on the Kadet slide assembly and voila, a .22 pistol.  Of course you may have some initial fitting to do.  This is a much cheaper way than buying another gun.
           
            I don't know about accuracy - still testing mine.

I think the conversion is the way to go. They will sell a .22 slide/barrel to fit on the 9mm gun, I don't think they will sell a 9mm slide/barrel to fit on a .22. Everyone I've shown the 9mm with conversion kit is very impressed. I'm very happy with mine. Need range time.
