    Default CZ 75 PRE B mags needed, wanted, longing for love

    Hi guys

    any idea where i can get some pre B cz 75 mags

    used is cool as well

    my boet has a transitional model 75, 75B mags fit but do not fall freely from the gun

    so I'm wanting to get him a few for his BDay

    Got him a decent holster (quantum carry) last year, so may as well add to his EDC

    any help is appreciated

    I have tried the usual shops etc, Jizni but new the pricing is wild

    The free-fall mags is the mag brake issue, if I'm not mistaken. The pre-B mag issue has to do with the width of the mags, so the knew mags generally don't fit at all.

    tried both pre and B

    even tried 2019 B mags

    they all fit, but only the pre B will drop freely

    the B mags will need a few fingers and lots of force

    the issue seems to be it being a transitional model, so a bit of a mix it seems

    a dealer sold us a new B mag, it didnt fit. He then offer to swop it for a used pre B mag................

    Ah, yes. That sounds like the mags then. You can try K-Mags. I wouldn't carry them, per se, because of reported reliability issues, but they fit like a charm.

    Also, SP-01 and Shadow mags seem to fit the Pre-B frames perfectly. Try them out and see?

    The reason the pre-B mags falls free is because of the slightly smaller dimensions on the mag.
    You need to replace the magazine brake on the CZ-75 with the one from the SP01 shadow.
    Alternatively, remove the original mag brake, flatten it and re-insert. You will now have drop-free mags.

    or could we not just get the pre b mags that seem to work?

    the mag it came with falls freely, its the new mag we bought that doesnt want to work

    so we looking for mags as thats the easiest option

    Having a few mags that work in a gun is nice (while those mags work...)Having a gun that works with any mag for that type of gun is better.Some of the older CZ's had rough mag-wells. If you sand down and buff the inside of the mag-well and flatten out the mag-brake spring-plate you will probably have solved your problem. They usually bind just behind the top of the mag (at the rear)I have done this with 2 of my CZ's and a few others and the all work with any mag for a CZ 75.

    You might try some SP01 shadow 18 round mags.
