Shadow 2 Kadet on 75B frame
« on: September 27, 2021, 01:10:35 AM »
I like the sight block version of the Shadow 2 Kadet, it looks identical to the SP-01 Kadet, is it?
I want to put it on a regular 75B frame, has anyone done this yet?

Thanks!

Ok, so YES - the Shadow 2 Kadet will fit a 75 B frame...BUT...

- the dustcover needs to be fitted, it is too wide - made for the Shadow 2 frame. Some filing and lapping compound with a mallet...30 min.
- the Shadow 2 Kadet is LONGER than the SP-01 Kadet...so if you buy the CZC SP-01 Kadet compensator you need to open up the inside OD so it can accomodate the longer barrel...this took me 90 min.

It shoots great, but even with the contoured firing pin (per the suggestions on this forum), clipped firing pin spring, and up to 16# hammer spring - I got light strikes with CCI MiniMag.
I plan on trying again with CZC lightened FP spring, and a 17# hammer spring.
I am using a CZ 75B with FPB removed, short reset, and race hammer.

Will post pics soon, I am getting it Nickel Boron plated since it is aluminum, I want to make it last...

How reliable is the kadet slide?  I have a shadow 2 and have considered getting one.

Have never fit a Shadow 2 Kadet to a 75, but have several thousand rounds through both.  No issues.

Thanks! The gun turned out so pretty I plan on not shooting it and playing with my other CZs instead. This will be a safe queen and family heirloom.
