CZ Kadet Conversion 22LR SP-01 & Shadow 2

— Show original

Good in theory, in practice it hasn't worked particularly well with Shadow2. When shooting, a too large part of the tissues does not fire the first time, tried several different cartridges.

Easy to put on. Twice I've tried to shoot now. The first time outdoors was -7 degrees and some malfunctions. The second time the indoor track worked flawlessly.

The CZ Kadet replacement kit is a new and old model. They look completely different and weighted, and ecommerce pages don’t necessarily make a difference between them. A newer version was found in the Viranomainen.fi store, the most significant difference from the old one being that it fits directly into the body of the weapon. The old one has to be machined first (!) The need for machining before use goes beyond the understanding of the buying customer. If you want a stuff that works directly; the newer the better. NOTE: Today, 9.8.21 there was a picture of both the old and the new barrel in the Viranomainen.fi online store in the section presenting the same product. The main picture had an old barrel, the smaller one a new barrel. The new replacement barrel has been significantly lightened, apparently because the lower-charge 22 cal cartridges are able to move the charging mechanism more safely. This makes the product feel a little crazier compared to the old heavier barrel, but there has certainly been a reason for the change. On the track, the new 22 cal barrel works well, even with milder charging cartridges. The advantage of a lighter barrel with heavier charging cartridges is that it makes the recoil feel a bit already. Not disturbing, though, but giving the impression that the right gunpowder is being shot here. The lightness of the barrel was forgotten when shooting and the banging was nice. The downside to the new model barrel is that the old model had really pretty glock-like front and rear white dot sights and pretty sight adjustments. In terms of mere aesthetics and a sense of quality, the old-fashioned replacement series makes you long for it even after the purchase. The new model has a dull black front and rear sights. The adjusting screw for the heel can be found again, but not the side adjustment, which I remember to be in the old one. The old one also had a 9mm big brother-like roughened back of the barrel, so tuning is easier. There is hardly any roughening in the new one and the tuning is not quite as natural. Weapons are bought to practice shooting, but they also have a strong aesthetics and user experience. The new barrel works technically well, but is uglier than the older one and both CZ fans grieve. The service in the store was again straightforwardly matter-of-fact; first call and confirm that the product is. On the spot, the salesman made the effort and put the barrel on the frame to prove that it did fit. The papers were made while waiting. Again, I tested to see if the seller could have made the extra deal; provide replacement sights or enclosures. Unfortunately, I couldn't. Now tune in to someone with the "who bought this product also bought" feature that you will empty your customer's pockets. Seller poloinen is so exhausted after filling out the government forms that technological help is needed.

Personally in use with Shadow 2. In the beginning it was really painful when you couldn't even act badly. Sometimes everyone and often everyone else didn't go at all. At that time, a slight trace of a teddy bear spike was left on the base of the shell. By retuning the hammer, the bang went off normally. The end result of several tests with the recipe: 16lbs hammer spring, the stiffest recoil spring of the modification series in place and the CCI Blazer cartridge = functionality 100%. The Shadow 2 itself has a single action model already from the factory, so a stiffer hammer spring does not hurt because the double action does not need to be tuned. Using the set became meaningful and it was nice to practice with a cheaper cartridge. In addition, the Shadow 2 red dot adapter plate for the rear sight groove is not included in the set. The bottom plate of the Cz TS2 red dot can be made thicker.
