I did my P01 watching a video I found.  Just pull the spring plug out of bottom and take out the spring and brake.  Cut off the tab on the bottom of the brake and bend the brake flat.  Put it back together.  Mag will fall free.  If you want  the brake completely out you will have to drive out a pin.  Or just bend it in place.  That little tab you cut off at the bottom of the brake hooked into the bottom of the spring and that keeps tension on it.  Cutting off the tab lets it relax.

the SP-01 should fit it. I put flat mag brakes in all my guns. they are only $7 but the shipping will get you if that's all your ordering. I supposed you could modify the existing brake like he said, and I'm all for modding and "improving" things.
hope that helps. enjoy your new CZ!

Actually the tab has nothing to do with the mag brake relaxing. If your brake is arched you can straighten it and leave the tab in place. Everyone cuts the tab off because it's a pain in the tail to get back in place sometimes. The reason for the tab is it fits in the slot of the mainspring plug and keeps it from rotating.

You can cut off the tab or order this more beefy version that won't get waded up in the frame:  https://czcustom.com/cz-parts-all/mag-releases-brakes/cz-75-ts-mag-brake-stainless.html
