Title: CZ compact mags are awesome in Stingray-C
Post by: Genin on June 21, 2014, 11:10:38 AM
Just wanted to let you guys know that I got some CZ compact mags that are the flush fitting 14 rounders. I wanted the flush look and like not having extra bulk on the end for carry. They fit and function perfect in my Stingray-C and the price was great at GregCoteLLC.

Delta,
Thank you sir. I love that stingray! I hope you enjoy yours when you buy it.

Jwc,
Thank you! I definitely will continue to use them for future mag purchases. It was shipped 3 hours after purchase. I was impressed.

Is that a Mec-Gar CZ75 Compact mag or a factory mag?

17 round MEC-GAR. Same as what comes with a full size Jericho 941. Flush steel baseplate and locks in perfectly.

Brett,
It's the Mecgar mag for the CZ 75 compact.

Old guy and Jose,
You are both very welcome.

Here is the 17 rounder in a T-120.

(http://i.share.pho.to/39a13e74_o.jpeg)

The fit is exactly the same as a Jericho (And the 19rd mag locks into the Jericho with zero gap). Not sure about a CZ-75.

The 14rd in a compact Canik actually looks to be more flush. I thinking a stock CZ fullsize mag is 16...perhaps it would be 100% flush on the bigger guns.

This is a Mec-Gar 14 rounder. I really like the cleaner look.

Hene,
That looks great in that gun.

Oreo,
The flush look with zero gap is way better looking in my opinion as well. Fine looking gun you have there.

Was seriously considering a Stingray until I read about all of the sight problems.

Birdsaway,
Dexter was able to get an LPA sight directly from Century Arms that allowed him to adjust the elevation. I don't believe the company charged him either since the gun was not shooting POA/POI. If you got one and found it had a sight issue then I'm sure they'd do the same for you.

Thanks Genin.  I preference would be to put some Meprolights on one, if I get it.  If that can be done then it will greatly increase the likelihood of me making that purchase.  Especially if the ones at J&G are still available.

I was told no to the mepros on the rear since the dovetail is not the right size, but you could easily retro a mepro front sight on.

Thanks Genin.  That kind of rules them out for me.  A compact gun is a carry gun to me and I like night sights on carry guns.

I completely understand. I am hopeful that in the future there are tritium options for this gun in the future. If you ever were so inclined you could have Novak sights milled in the rear. That is pricey though.

Thanks, I didn't know that.  I have two CZ Compacts and a RAMI that have night sights.  What I envisioned the Stingray for was, mostly, sitting in the car.  I cannot carry at work so I leave it in the car all day.  The likelihood of my car being broken into at work is about zero.  But I still worry about my high dollar, fully modified, CZ sitting out in the car.  The Canik would ease that somewhat.  I guess I don't really need it.  It would be very nice to have and give me another option.

I have two Tristars that both shot perfectly fine out of the box. I am not alone in this experience.

Contrast that with the people who don't just say that the sights are off...apparently they're useless. 'It shoots two feet low and two feet left!' Eh...no. I think YOU shoot two feet low and two feet left. Just because someone can consistently replicate their poor aim and/or trigger pull, does not automatically make it the gun's fault.

I would not be that concerned about it.

I do read many things on the internet with a healthy degree of skepticism.

I'm the same as you. I find that my hard chromed Stingray-C is about the perfect "left in the car" gun. All steel construction, hard chromed, and VZ grips make it nearly impervious to any type of temperature/humidity effects I'd ever see in a car. I know people keep polymer guns in cars all the time, but I can't help it, I just feel so much more secure with it being all steel. I think you'd find the stingray would excel in this niche for you as well.

I hear you. I have a stingray-c and a t-100 and both have no sight issues.

Thanks for the photos Genin.  I really like my Stingray-Cs for their function but have not yet found appropriate aftermarket mags.  I have always shied away from the 14 rounders you show as they look to be painful to shoot.  With that metal base plate extending forward from the grip - Where the heck do you put your little finger?  A pinkie under grip would work but does not feel right on this pistol.  On the full size CZ with that base plate the little finger just barely fits above it.  Have you seen any source for the Canik 15 rounders?  Mec-Gar 16 rounder with rubber base looks like it would be a bit bulkier in the Stingray-C but I have not yet tried it.
Thanks!

You can get the Mecgar 15 rounders from Greg Cote LLC. They will be almost identical to the Canik 15 rounders since MecGar makes them for Canik.

Thanks, I must have overlooked the 15s and just saw the 14s and 16s.

Oh crap, you are right Wilson! They don't have the 15s. Sorry hombre.
