CZ 75 with the Kadet .22 conversion

[RocketBoy]

A question for any owners out there who have bought the conversion for their CZ 75...
I was thinking of getting the SP-01 Tactical and the .22 conversion but someone mentioned that there was some machining that had to be done so the conversion kit would fit. The manual for the Kadet also says this, "An individual adapter assembly, which can be used after fitting of appropriate surfaces on the adapter housing, to the frame of any CZ 75/85 pistol."

So if I get the conversion kit do I have to take it to a gunsmith to have it fitted?

From what I've heard you only need to do a little fileing on the kit slide ,but not sure about use on the SP-01.
Maybe look on CZFORUM.COM [Google it ]they'll have most of what you want to know about any CZ stuff.

You don't need to file anything down. It slides in a little tight that is all. This is for the SP-01.

the fitting is very simple. Basically the rails at the front of the cadet slide are a little oversize. I assume that is to allow for manufacturing tolerances over the cz75/85 family. My kit only required a few swipes of a file to slide on smoothly to my 85, it is a litle tighter on teh SP01, but still functions well.

Some minor fitting maybe required,check page 24 of the Kadet manual.it does say filing maybe needed to fit and work properly.
But like I said I don't have a SP-01,just the 75B

Ok, so IF it does need some filing it is something I can do myself?
Thanks for the info guys.

yes, at least on mine the filing was all on the side of the rail, so easy to do. IF you feel nervous tho, ask the wife, if she can file her nails she should be able to file the slide.

Hello:

I was able to perform the installation on my CZ75-BD in a few minutes with a small “fine” file. I don’t consider myself the most “handy” person in the world. I suspect that you will not have any problems. Just take your time, file, and periodically check for fit.

Good Luck,
