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

Re: CZ 75 PRE B mags needed, wanted, longing for love
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.

Re: CZ 75 PRE B mags needed, wanted, longing for love
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?

Re: CZ 75 PRE B mags needed, wanted, longing for love
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.

Re: CZ 75 PRE B mags needed, wanted, longing for love
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.
