Will Any Other Magazines Fit the CZ 100/101/110

[Radom]

Dear Owners:

The info that CZF members have provided on these pistols is still fairly minimal.  I am compiling the FAQ on CZ Magazine Compatability, and I would greatly appreciate your help.

1.  Will the magazines for the 75/85 series pistols fit and function in the CZ 100 series pistols?  I have had two answers so far: one "yes" and one "no."

2.  The CZ 100 and 110 take the same magazines.  Will the OEM magazines for the CZ 100 and 110 fit the CZ 101?  I assume that they stick out quite a bit, if they will fit in the grip.  

3.  Do you know of any aftermarket magazines for the CZ 100 series pistols?  

Thanks for your help.

FEG,

I'll answer what I can with my limited knowledge.

[1. Will the magazines for the 75/85 series pistols fit and function in the CZ 100 series pistols? I have had two answers so far: one "yes" and one "no."] I know the magazines from my Jericho 941 (Pre-ban model) will fit in my CZ100's but extend beyond the bottom of the grip about 1". Once inserted they will operate the slide stop. I do not know how well they operate under actual firing conditions, as I haven't tried them.

[2. The CZ 100 and 110 take the same magazines. Will the OEM magazines for the CZ 100 and 110 fit the CZ 101? I assume that they stick out quite a bit, if they will fit in the grip.] No information as I don't know what a CZ 101 is.

[3. Do you know of any aftermarket magazines for the CZ 100 series pistols? ] Pro Mag makes both 9mm and 40 S

The CZ 101 is a compact version of the CZ 100.  It has a single-stack magazine, but the grip seems to be the same width.  I'm not sure.  It holds 7 rounds in the 9mm version and 6 in .40 S&W.    

This model was not imported by CZ-USA, but it used to be listed at the CZ-UB (European) website.  It no longer is at the moment.  I suspect that this model may no longer be produced.

The OEM Mec-Gar magazine supplied with the 40S&W CZ 75B will fit and feed reliably in the 40S&W CZ 100. It extends about an inch beyond the bottom of the grip. However, the slide will not lock back after the last round has been discharged. In comparing the two magazines side-by-side, it can been seen that the mag release notch on the Mec-Gar is positioned a smidge higher than the one on the CZ 100's mag, causing it to sit a bit lower in the mag well and not engage the slide release.

Just for kicks, I inserted the 10-round OEM mag supplied with the 9mm CZ 75B into the 40S&W CZ 100, and managed to cycle some 9mm snap caps through the pistol. The slide did lock back on an empty mag. I take this to mean that the 9mm 75B's 10-round mag will fit and function reliably in a 9mm CZ 100.

My CZ-75BD 16 round mags will fit and work in my CZ-100. BUT, the 10 round mags that came with the CZ-100 will NOT fit in the CZ-75BD, there too short. The 75's mag stick out about 19mm out the bottom of the 100! The CZ-100 also fires and loads Rem 115gr 9MM JHP (the green and white box) fine, but the 75BD jams about every 2-3 rounds. I have order a 26 round mag from CZ-USA, I want to see if it will fit my 100, now that would be cool!

Update: I got my 26 round mag in, and it fits the 100 fine. It sticks out 3 inches, but oh well, and I can see the 20 round hole, that tells me I have shot 6 or more rounds. Oh ya, it also fits my 75BD as well.

Just purchased a MECGAR mag for my cz110 9mm. the code of the mag is MGGT2116BDO fits jericho/tangfolio. it is a 15rd mag. it sticks out some .5 inches from the butt. But feeds and locks the slide on the last rounds. have tested it with 100rds without any problems.

I wonder if they've changed the CZ-100 a bit, over the years.  The one I had, several years ago, would NOT accept or function with standard CZ mags.  It's good to hear that has changed.

I think others here have had OK results with the Pro-Mag CZ100 mags.
