CZ75B Kadet convertable to CZ75B 9mm?

[Nizetti]

If I buy a CZ75B Kadet pistol (not the Kadet conversion), can I get some sort of 9mm kit later on, to turn it into a 9mm? Or am I stuck with it being a .22 forever?

It would be much more difficult to get a 9mm slide/barrel etc, than it would to get a 75 in 9mm then the Kadet conversion.

Whatever you decide, the best CZ prices are at gunsnthings.ca. I have bought 2 CZ sp-01's from him, great prices & fast shipping. Email is the best way to get a hold of him.

Dammit, I was hoping that I didn't have to spend $ on a 2nd slide assembly right away.

I second what NINE said. Mark at gunsnthingsDOTca is excellent to deal with.

You know, I went through the same thing but with the Kimber 1911. The situation I was in with what i already had in my collection made it a better idea if i opted to go with the Kimber .22 pistol and then just put on a .45 slide on it. I though it would be possible since the Kimber .22 conversion kit would fit any milspec .45. The problem is that since the gun is built for a .22 caliber chances are the frame and or its components are not meant for higher tolerances. Im not sure what the Kadet frame is made of, but id be surprised if it wasnt from billet aluminium as opposed to Steel.
What you want to do is possible if the Kadets frame is on par with the 9mm, best way is to call CZ themselves. Thats what i did for the Kimber. If it turns out that it would work, you might be able to find a CZ top end in the Exchange forum. It might not be as easy as picking up a 1911 upper slide kit but im sure someone somewhere has a CZ 75 in parts.

Good luck.
