First off, I love my P-06 and it's a great gun for all around use. Awesome stopping power as it being a .40 cal. S&W, but the only thing that irritates me is the 10rd magazine capacity. Well after reading the many posts on this forum as well as others, I decided that I wanted to buy the 12rd Mec-Gar magazines with the .40 cal. SP01 bases for my P-06. I tried to find pictures of this magazine conversion in a P-06 online, but I had no success.
So earlier this week I ordered (3) Mec-Gar SPO1 .40 cal. 12rd. magazines from Widener's Reloading and (3) SP01 magazine bases from CZ-USA's website (along with a CZ Pistol poster in which they sent me 2, one was the pistols of CZ and the other was a X-Ray view of the CZ 75D Compact Pistol - pretty cool if I must say). Pictures below.
Plain CZ P-06:

Finally 12rd. Mec-Gar Magazine with SP01 Magazine Base in my CZ P-06:
Just a note: These Mec-Gar 12rd. SP01 .40 cal. S&W Magazines seem to lock up much tighter than the Factory 10rd. magazines in my P-06. I loaded each of the new Mec-Gar magazines with 12rds. and they were not nearly as difficult as both my factory 10rd. magazines. I will post a range report when I take them out. Right now I just need to get more ammo.
Oh, yeah?here are the pictures of the CZ Posters that I also received. First is the CZ Pistols:

I hope these pictures help those out who were in the same dilemma as I was before I purchased the new magazines. Let me know what you all think.
