CZ-75 question

[Fearthewolf]

Alright, so I want to get a CZ-75 in .40 S&W, and what I was wondering is if I could swap this over to a 9mm when I wanted to? I've seen a 9mm "kit" for it, and I wasen't exactly sure if it was legit or not, so any help would be great! Thanks.

I've never seen a .40/9mm kit for the 75. It may exist, though. I know that the Cadet is a .22lr conversion, but that's the only one I've seen.

The EAA Witness is more known for drop in slide/barrel conversion kits.

I've not seen a kit either, the only one I know of is the Kadet kit for .22lr.

Alright, thanks guys. I was kind of iffy when I saw it. And I really am considering going with a .40 instead of a 9mm just for the stopping power, and I really dont want to upgrade to a .45 so it seemed like a nice medium.

Go with the 9 since stopping power isn't real.

Only problem with going 9mm right now is ammo availability. You can find .40 S&W pretty easily still in the usual locations. I just shot my 75b in .40 today along with my P-01 and they both shoot well.

I noticed Plainfield Shooting Supplies has a 75BD, a 75 Compact with decocker, and a 75 Compact with safety in stock as of 30 minutes ago.

Ive been pretty happy with my CZ75-P01 that I bought back in 2006 for a mere $310 NIB. Decocker, tritium sights and goes bang every time. Havent had to shoot anyone with it so......but if i did and it did not workout I would just grab up my glock 30 and try again.

If swapping is what you want, get the new FNP which uses the same frame and trigger mechanism for the 9 and .40.

If you want a CZ, get the 9mm.

All my CZs are 9mm. I traded my CZ in 40 for a Pre B 75 a while back so they all use the same mags and ammo now. How much was the Compact out at PSS?

I think they were $509 for the safety, $569 for decocker.

I need to use a metal sharpie on my .40 magazines, I don't need to confuse them in my range bag.

CZ USA would have an answer for you on the 9mm vs .40 swap. They had some Rami mags in stock last week as well as pre B magazines.

I know, the prices were high, but I picked up 4 .40 magazines to go with my new gun. I think I have 7-8 75B 18 round magazines already.

Thanks for the help everyone! Still doing some deciding about the .40 vs. 9mm.

I was debating the while 9 v 40 debate, and even though it's hard to find for now, things should settle back down before too long.

I would get 9mm over the .40S&W. I would also go with a .45ACP over the .40. I have found that small people (wife/kids) can shoot the .45ACP better than the 9mm or .40S&W. Recoil is a push with the .45 and a sharp rap to the hand with the 9mm or .40S&W. I carry a 9 round .32ACP and a 15 round 10mm. If SHTF you should be able to find 9mm and .45 easier as that's what our military would be using.

I looked at CZ's line of .45's, I wasen't to impressed but I could be wrong.

I've heard great things about the 97B's, but they are definitely a larger gun than the 75 series.
