This mag shortage is frustrating.  I’ve been trying to get them for months.  One source said they haven’t been able to get them since Jan.  I’m on wait list for several places for last couple months.  I placed a standing order with a source and they keep giving me updates from Meg Gar saying one more week.  I think that’s been going on for a couple months.

CZ needs to do something.  One is put leverage on Meg Gar and threaten to switch suppliers.  But more importantly why hasn’t CZ Parts built up a stock supply in inventory?

These supply issues are going on across the board and it's not just CZ and it's not just Mec-Gar. CZ hasn't been able to keep up with demand for their own small parts let alone what goes on at Mec-Gar. They just can't keep up with demand at this point and they can't build a supply when everything goes right out the door.
You do know you can also use the 10 round version and you can drill the dimples out on either side and the mags will then accept 15 rounds. https://gregcotellc.com/cart/cz-factory-mecgar-actmag-c-173/cz-75-compact-cz-pcr-cz-p01-cz-shadow-2-compact-springfield-p9c-dan-wesson-dwx-compact-10-rd-mecgar-mgczcomp10b-p-2048.html

The compacts will also accept the full size 75 series mags as well they just stick out further obviously.  https://gregcotellc.com/cart/cz-factory-mecgar-actmag-c-173/cz-75-b-cz-75-bd-cz-85-b-cz-75-sp01-cz-shadow-2-17-rd-9mm-mgcz7517afc-p-591.html

If CZ can see into the future and know what parts will be in high demand in 12-16 months, then a reasonable question has to be why didn't Stanseven see into the future and stock up himself ?? Why is it someone else's responsibility and fault ?

The SKU for the 15 round Mecgar mags is MGCZCOMP15AFC. Go to https://gun.deals  and enter the SKU in the search. This site rocks for guns and accessories. It will show who has the product and the shipping costs (usually)


Unfortunately nobody has them right now...but it was one search and done.


Another plus one for Greg Cote.

It’s because I just brought this CZ in January.  I liked it and realized I needed more magazines then.  I had no idea it would have been such a problem.  I haven’t had any issues with my other CZ, Sig, or Walter’s.

Not just CZ.  I read (on the M&P Pistol Forum) yesterday where a guy bought a new M&P, had issues with a magazine and while S&W agreed to send him a new one they also told him that they didn't have any in stock but would ship him one as soon as they got some in stock.  This was for a new model they just released and they only have enough magazines to put two in the box with the new guns, no extras to sell or replace faulty mags.

I'd had to have a new concealed carry gun and not be able to buy additional magazines for it.  Only two is several too short for my comfort.
I just keep wasting time and money on other brands trying to find/make one shoot like my P07 and P09.  What is wrong with me?

I use both Greg Cote and Lanbo's Armory for my CZ mag needs. Haven't had an issue with either of them. Both their mag prices and shipping prices are fair.
