Steer clear. These are some of those knock-offs from who-knows-where which say "mfg CZ" (others say "CZ mfg") on the base plate. Regardless of what J&G says, they are not ?esk? Zbrojovka products. The real ?Z never put any such mark on their magazines. Many people have bought them, and many people have said, "well, s--t!"

I got 3 for that price from http://www.keepshooting.com. Did not get them
in the mail yet. I don't think they were advertised as original magazines.

I bought one a couple of days ago.  I figured for $20 it was worth a shot if you will pardon the pun.  They do want $10 shipping though, which I though was a lot steep.

Hi there PWF, welcome to the forum!  There's lots to learn here, and it's always nice to meet a new member.  I hope you'll all keep us up to date with what quality you've seen from where - I'm hoping to pick up a few more too, but I'm always a bit of a worrier about this sort of thing.

As an aside, with a name like that should I put a small wager down on "physics"?

Electrical Engineering and the Computer Science.   :)  I also joke it's my indian name.  Running Gag was taken....

I'm also a proud owner of a nice CZ-82.  I found the forum looking for info on jamming issues, and I think it may be magazine related as I already replaced the main spring with one from Wolf.  Nice place you guys have here, I'm looking forward to visiting a bit.

Steer clear. These are some of those knock-offs from who-knows-where which say "mfg CZ" (others say "CZ mfg") on the base plate. Regardless of what J&G says, they are not ?esk? Zbrojovka products.

Are there issues with them, though?

The ones which I was unfortunate enough to buy were junk. The bodies were so improperly shaped that you had to force them into the receiver and then had to almost use a crowbar to get them out. The lips were not right. I'd say that I had issues with them, yes.

*Update*

I got my 3 magazines from keepshooting.com today. They are nearly identical to
the original and work flawlessly. They cost me $65 for three.

Thanks, I will keep my buddy who bought some in the loop.

I bought several of the "Mfg CZ" magazines from Robertson's http://www.czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=61146.msg403281#msg403281.  Other than not wanting to lock the slide open when empty, they have worked fine at the range.  However, it only takes a quick look at the magazine body to see that they are NOT made equal in quality to factory CZ mags.

Your local commisar will allow you to have 10-round magazines, will he not?  http://www.midwayusa.com/product/185175/cz-magazine-cz-82-83-380-acp-9x18mm-makarov-10-round-steel-blue

CZ-USA probably has them cheaper. Or check eBay.

I ordered 3 from Keep Shooting for $19.95 each with $5.40 for shipping.  Not CZ but friends have them and they work.
