cz 75 magazines
« on: December 08, 2019, 10:49:15 PM »
I am looking at CZ P-07 models.  Will they accept my CZ 75 magazines?

Yes P07 will accept CZ75 magazines. They will wobble more however, in the mag well.

Update

I just bought a P-07 on sale for $410.
The dealer researched, then tested P-10C magazines, they fit perfectly.
In fact, the package is marked P-10C and P-07.
They seem to be identical to the 2 that came with the gun.

It seems CZ didn't discontinue the P-07 mags, they just merged them with the P-10C.  ;D

Yeah we know all that already. The problem is the P-07 only mags had a base plate that conformed to the grip frame of the P-07. The P-07/P10-C mags have a base plate that conforms to the P10-C but doesn't fit all that nicely with the P-07.

When I read your comment, I examined all my mags.
Two of them have a perfect fit. 
I had to examine the other two very closely.  They do have a very slight overhang.
The difference is very tiny.  Without reading your comment, I would never have noticed.
I can certainly live with that.

However; I have a plastic bag in my gun case with two mag extenders.
I can't tell if they just add length to the mag, or if they are +2 extenders.
They do look like Mec-Gar +2 extenders.

I don't know whether to try and figure them out, or just leave them in the case.

But, I won't complain.  It's a much better gun than my Glock 19, for $410.

I have several of the original P-07 mags and several of the new style P-07/P10-C mags and the overhang is substantial enough to hinder the great feel of the P-07 in the hand in comparison to the old style mags.
Many have commented on this here and elsewhere. For some it's not a problem but for some of us we don't like the feel of the new mags in the P-07. CZ has dropped the ball in a couple areas recently this being one of them. They should at the very least mag the old base plates available for purchase or release Mec-Gar from their "non competition" clause so they can make and sell the base plates under their own name.

I did figure the +2 base plates out.  I installed them on two of my five magazines.

I read somewhere they had discontinued them, and were selling cut prices and putting them in with new guns.
I checked the store price, $37 each.  No wonder they weren't selling.  ;D

These are the type I used to buy for my P07/P09 magazines (which I found out also work well on the M&P 17 round magazines to make them 19 rounds).  $10 each now.  I got a bunch a few years back when they were on sale for 2 for $10.

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?
