Cyanide, exactly what mine looks like.
The gun still has features most (maybe any) other semi-autos do not have.
The slide is wider just behind the rear sight to make it easier to hold on to when racking the slide to the rear.
The screw in the side of the slide (one mark is P for pistol and the other is R for revolver) switches the gun from (P) double action on the first shot and single action trigger till the magazine is empty and (R) trigger is double action for every shot.
The hammer cannot strike the firing pin unless you pull the trigger (similar to some revolvers).
Slimmest/narrowest grip frame double stack 9MM made. Forged steel frame but still lighter than many aluminum framed double stack 9MM hand guns.
Anyway, back to the magazine thing. Some dremel work, some round file (chainsaw file) got it close but it would, with enough effort, pull out without hitting the magazine release. The front of the BDM magazine is slightly wider/flatter than the CZ magazine and the BDM slide release couldn't get a good grip on it. I ran a 1/8" punch through the hole on the opposite side of the magazine (left side) and put the tip of the punch on the metal just above the magazine release hole. Several smacks with a small hammer flattened/moved the metal at that point out enough to allow the top of the mag. release button to get a solid grip on the magazine. Now, for a range trip. It cycles fine by hand and operates the slide lock when empty, but it's got to feed when shooting.
Oh, I probably won't do it again. Lots of work, lots of "fitting" every little bit to make sure I didn't remove too much metal, etc., etc., etc.
Top magazine is the BDM magazine. Notice the tall (top to bottom) half moon shaped mag. button slot.
Middle magazine is a CZ 75 magazine. Small slot (top to bottom) that goes further back on the side of the magazine vs. the BDM magazine slot.
Bottom magazine is the 16 round (with 2 round plus bottom) with the narrow slot opened up toward the top and rounded to accommodate the BDM magazine release button.
Fun exercise, probably not going to repeat it unless the thing feeds really well and I find I need more than the 7 or 8 magazines I currently have.
