Used 10 Round Magazines are highly sought after
There are several 10 Round max States
This makes them much harder to find
And as Gun politics change, they could be even more valuable
You can ask close to new Mag prices and get it
A new 10 Round Magazine is $39.00 and you can easily ask and get $35.00 shipped

Hmmm....I have two 10-round stainless magazines that came with my Ruger P95 9mm that I have never used. I wonder how much they are worth?

But what makes them so valuable?

Nice, never looked at it that way. I think I will hold on to these for a while then. Thanks!

Caleb,

funny thing is.. my PO6 was my first centerfire handgun! the local gun store actually sold it dirt cheap w/ two magazines (turns out one of the mags was for a 9mm and thus the reason it likely sold so cheap, once i figured that out, i couldn't stop shooting it! and created the desire/luv of CZ's and thus the reason the 'other two' came home. 

my PO6 is drop dead accurate, gave it to my son (after he had owned a ruger SRC9 and RIA 45)  he actually love the PO6 so much he used it to qualify for his CCW and routinely carried it,   now it came back to me. 

for home defense/self defense.. it rocks..basically will create one small apple size hole in a target with quick double taps at 5-7yds..  when I put my lasermax on it.. the thing drills snake eye's and long ragged holes at 15yds.

i love it.  all of em are extremely accurate with minimal recoil for me..  like I said my son's Ruger SR9C has more felt recoil to me. My wife even shoots the .40 well with no compliant of recoil.

the other 'outsider' i own is a keltec PMR30..  wicked fun gun to shoot (part of the home defense system) wife really likes shooting that one.. but claims it is louder than the .40.

for what its worth.. i'd wouldn't hesitate recommending/buying.

That's awesome Kevin. I actually cc the sr9c and love it, I can make a fist size hole at about 25-30ft.

I first saw the PO6 at our local gun show and it felt great in hand, but I thought it would be too heavy to CC. But ever since that day, I've been wanting one. It's on my long list of "must have" pistols and hopefully one day it will be in my safe. I have always liked the CZ line, but now I finally have one! I have plans for this thing, so keep an eye out for a build/upgrade thread (nothing too crazy, tho).

Thanks  Joe.

Caleb,

look forward to your 'upgrade posts'! currently planning on sending all 3 of mine to Cajun Gun Works for hammer/trigger upgrades.. the problem is which one first??  the reach reduction kit with the upgraded hammer will make these CZ's truly outstanding! plus they are just drop in parts, (get to keep the original parts).

check em out.    should make a very good thing.. even BETTER!  in fact, i am currently started saving for a CGW CZ97BE!

Yep, I have my CGW parts list. But, I like to be able to say that "I did it". I got that from my father, LOL...... I'm not affraid to do anything that does not require some kind of machining (only because I don't have those kind of tools). I've read a lot of good things of CGW, tho.

[handgun2]

kudos to you, caleb.

i forgot, my other 'upgrades' include the thin AL grips from CZ.. fits hand even better.  and maybe I should do my own stuff to (former tool/die maker 20+yrs.. just don't like springs that fly).

I am considering ordering a ghost ring rear sight from CGW as well.

cheers

The thin grips is on the list. I don't care too much for the alluminum part of that, but I can't seem to find thin grips any other way.

I just like to tinker, so I'll try to do it myself. If I mess it up, I learn (it's only money right). Obviously I am very into safety, so doing stupid/unsafe stuff to the pistol is out of the question.

Do you have any pics of your pistols? I would not mind taing a peep at them, sounds like you have some nice toys.

[handgun2]

caleb,

wish i could, but don't have the camera to do so,  also my 40B is pretty ugly right now.. as I am/have reshaped the metal to fit my hand and thus have natural point/grip. plan to send to get gunkoted and make one color again! ,  while I shy from 'spring' work, i don't mind doing metal re-work at all.  (coming from a upland bird dog background with high quality SxS's that are fit to shoot instinctively where I point.. thus   may yet do so on my cz75 and P06 with the beavertail which needs a slight tweak for improved fit, IMHO.  but much less so than the 40B.

when i can, i will though. thanks for asking.
kevin

[handgun2]

caleb,
 does yours have a upswept beavertail or the flat one?   mine has the flat one.. and it is the only thing I don't like on mine.. soo, i took the file to it today (as I did to the 40B to enhance the fit/grip)   it is really sweet now.. removed metal from under to make it look upswept and removed some from sides to enhance hitting safety/mag button.

like it even more than before. and thanks for the encouragement to do the springs/trigger job myself per CGW items.. I will also be purchasing a 'ghost ring' from CGW based on his recent PCR conversion.

cheers,
kevin

ps. let me know what holsters you go with. I am considering several at this time. but being the 'dutch' person I am, I am trying to find a system that fits all of my CZ's and the kel tech PMR30
