What do you know about this pistol. How does it shoot and compare with other 22's?
 
Very accurate, very reliable. Heavy steel design, good ergonomics. Easy to take down and clean. Suppresses easily. The upper slides onto any CZ-75 design.

I like mine, can you tell? :D
 
The conversion kit. The Kadet frame is the same as a CZ-75. If you can get the SAO Kadet, I hear they're very nice.

I'm on my 5th brick of .22LR through the Kadet. It seems to like Remington Golden Bullet and dislike Federal and Winchester.
 
I have the kadet pistol. It is a great pistol. It is a traditional double action, but has a safety instead of a decocker. It is a great training tool for shooting sigs or hks or czs. The trigger is not as good as a single action .22 or a 1911 conversion, but it makes a better training platform, in my opinion. It trains the same skills you need for a sig or hk type trigger.:)
 
I have the kit on my 75BD. The thing is flawless in operation and very accurate. It's nothing to hit a hanging bowling pin at 70 yards indicated with it, repeatedly. Sights are fully adjustable.

I have about 4 bricks of Federal somethingoruther through it with maybe...2 malfs?
 
I've had the Kadet Kit since 2002. First on a 75BD and sometimes on the P-01. It lives on the 75BD now with the 9mm in the bag for backup. I have a very nice Ruger MkII and a Single Six that I haven't shot for two or more years. The .22 is the Kadet. Ditto on the Remington ammo. I've put tens of thousands of rounds through mine. When I first started shooting pistol and joined my club I would routinely shoot two boxes of 9mm and a brick of .22 at each range session. Always once per week and sometimes more for the first couple years.

There have been fitting, stovepipe and failure to fire issues, all dealt with very easily. Info on CZforum
 
Viking, I have had one for a couple years now. I put it on my 75b. I use it it get trigger time for less cost and to complete in 22 plate shoots. I like that it is the same as my primary gun so I don't have to become familiar with a different grip angle like on my Ruger mark II.

It is accurate because of the way it fits into the frame. The gunshop salesman had to file it so it would fit between the blocks. He said it was made that way to get a tight fit. The store was Newington Gun Exchange. They have always been helpful to me.

It has some jamming issues but it is better than my ruger. It does prefer some ammo more than others. As a stand alone 22 it was expensive but since I have a bunch of CZs just the kit was a good deal for me.

Viking, I had a complete Kadet that seemed very well made and fed reliably, however accuracy was average and its a b***h to load without some type of a magazine loader. I would buy a Ruger or Browning instead. My 2 cents.
 
I purchased the Kadet conversion kit for use with my CZ-75. Beautiful, all stell construction, and provides excellent plinking but not bullseye shooting accuracy. Some people have complained about unreliable firing pin strikes but mine has functioned flawlessly with most ammunition. My unit seems to prefer either European ammo like SK Jagd, Wolf Match Target or ammo with little outside lubrication. My unit had problems reliably feeding CCI-SV but would handle SKJagd, Wolf Match Target and federal Copper Plated ammo or Federal; 711B with utmost relaibility. It's a real fun unit to use.
 
My Kadet Kit (mounted originally on a 75B Mil, and now on used on an 85 Combat) was just as accurate as a Ruger MK II Target Competition (with long, slabsided barrel.) I got rid of the Ruger. (Nothing wrong with it, but I found myself not shooting it...)
