Kadet II model number or Year of Manufacture?
« on: September 27, 2020, 03:31:28 PM »
Getting frustrated in my search for the Kadet II adapter. I had a whole bunch of them show up in my saved searches at 1am and almost pulled the trigger on one. One big issue.....Everyone lists the adapter they are selling as the 01610, BUT Some are calling it the Kadet II, some just calling it the Kadet and all are using the stock photo of the old original Kadet.
Since I don't want the old one, other than contacting every seller to see what the date of manufacture is, how can I know what is truly the Kadet II and even better yet, the Kadet II with the full rails in the front?
I doubt even one of these sellers has the box in hand to read off any info. Too lazy or just don't know that they are creating confusion with the stock photos of the older adapter. I guess it doesn't matter to them since every one at every place sold in a matter of minutes.
Any tips on finding the right Kadet II via a number or date?  :-\

Feel your pain, been trying to order Sig stuff and it’s a crap shoot on parts. I always use the SKU # as the rule.

CZ Fanbot since 1996

Most "Dealers" will not have a "CZ KADET" (KADET "1") in stock
They've been out of production for 10 or 11 years
If it is new (not used), there are two styles of the Main Slide Frame profiles available
One had the Muzzle end profile of the standard "B" .... tapered
The other has the "B-SA" or SP-01 style, not tapered at the Muzzle end
Both will say "KADET 2" on the Slide though

That's the problem. They are only using old stock photos that don't say Kadet 2 on the side, just Kadet.
I went ahead and ordered one. I guess we'll see if it is the new style or some dusty thing found in a back corner of a warehouse. The SKU number is correct, but it is the same for the old and new models. Hence the worry it might be an older model.
Looks like thay sell fast enough I can resell it if it isn't what I want. Assuming I don't get a backorder email.....

I totally understand you frustration
I've been thinking of getting the newer; B-SA style KADET 2 and selling my KADET (1) Kit
But no-one will commit to what style they have
Stuart (at CZC) is keeping an Eye out for one for me

 But Den, your old one only has a million miles on it.  What's your hurry to upgrade??

Believe it or not Todd;
It's only for the esthetics of the newer B-SA style Slide
My current KADET Kit runs like a top, on any Ammo I feed it, and I REALLY don't need to change
I just like the looks of the new style Slide

Well, that was fast. Ordered it Sunday night, they refunded my money Monday morning. Dang. And yet the Kadet is still in stock on their web page. Back to the search.  :'(
