CZ 75B .22 Conversion

[tnathantaylor]

Hey there

I just picked up a used CZ 75B in near new condition.
Does anyone have any experience with the .22 conversion kit? I want to have a .22 pistol my kids can shoot, and I can practice with as well. I think the conversions cost around 350.00. would it be better to just buy a separate .22 Pistol?

Thanks

I have the CZ .22 conversion kit called Kadet and it's great, easy to swap, to take apart to clean and accurate. I got mine a little while ago for $370 but it's very hard to find this price anymore. I saw it jump to $450-550 range.
You should consider Ruger 22/45 and Browning Buckmark. Ruger 22/45 has same grip angle as 1911s do and virtually the same as CZ75.

Just in case you don't know - don't dryfire rimfire guns.

+1 but I paid $210 (US) for mine with two magazines. Yes, that was years ago.

Thanks folks

CeeZer, I'll check out those suggestions. For that kind of money it makes more sense to buy another pistol. Fine by me.

I went through this same thing a few years ago, I bought a Ruger 22/45 and I was not impressed. I sold it and spent the money on the Kadet, this kit is great and no problems at all, it is outstanding compared to the 22/45. My only complaint is the kadet is slightly larger than the standard CZ75 and I have to loosen the screws off on my bladetech holster when I practice with the kadet kit.

That's good to hear.
DBeato, how quick is it change over?
Thanks

Not long, probably less than a minute?

I have had a Kadet kit for several years. It only takes a few seconds to change the slide and magazines from 9mm to .22. I like mine so much that it now sesides, almost constantly on one of my 75s.
