Becoming a CZ fan
Sounds like someone needs to shop around for their CZ mags.

No, factory magazines ARE expensive. Whenever an internet seller has them cheap, I give our CZ rep a rash of shit as why in blazes these guys can sell their magazines for less at retail level than what my supposedly PREFERRED DEALER COST is.

Mec-Gar makes magazines for the standard 75 and the metal-frame compacts at a substantial savings, but mags for other models are proprietary.

$32 each from Greg Cote. How is that comparable to $50-$60 HK's?

$32 for Mec-gar mags but not factory CZ mags. Although both are made by Mec-gar, the factory mags always command a premium.

Confused
If you look they are the same (and only brand made for the P07) mag that CZ sells on their webpage.

Man, I must be looking at a different site. The CZ page lists everything as "CZ".

Does Mec-gar not offer mags in CZ packaging? The CZ packaging like the Sig factory magazine packaging is always more.

Are you saying the packaging is the same? I can't say I've ever bought any new factory mags for CZ. I even look for the Witness mags made by Mec-gar as less expensive options and subsitutes..Hopefully I can figure it out.

If theres a link for $32 Mec-gar branded P07 15rd Mags, please post it. Not to invite argument but I'm aware of the very good Mr Cote, having made multiple purchases from him. I checked his price again on factory Cz P07 mags just now, see here: CZ P-07 & CZ P-07 DUTY 9MM 15 RD FACTORY MAGAZINE 11185 > $42.95 for the
CZ P-07 AND CZ P-07 DUTY 9MM 15 RD FACTORY MAGAZINE 11185. I'll say it again, CZ factory mags are cost prohibitive! Btw, I can get Hk mags for less than Cz P07 factory mags!! CZ-USA needs to do a much better job of pricing their pistols accessories in a price range to the civilian pistol consumer.

Please be aware that these will be the ONLY mags CZ has available since all new mags will be compatible with both the P10 and P07 from CZ.
Oh, and there are no Mecgar branded mags yet for this platform. Only the CZ branded for now.

lol, yes- those are P10C mags that I also discovered today after my previous post & discussing with Greg Cote personally. He informed me that they happen to be compatable for the P07. Thanks for doing the leg work, have a good weekend over there in Colorado high country Ryan Wink

I obtained my third CZ last night. A Rami decocker model. Talk about hard to find, good grief. Can't wait to shoot her, I have big plans for it.

The 1 thing that keeps my tuned CZ 75 SAO from being perfect is I can't find anyone who will do checkering.


I put a strip of skateboard grip-tape on the from and back strap of my CZ 75B-SA and CZ 97B.
Clean the surface thoroughly and is sticks very well.

Being a fan of CZ Custom products AND the .357 Sig round, I was able to finally convince Stuart at CZ Custom to build me the semi compact in .357 Sig vs 9mm. Been a few months but I know we're getting closer because my wallet is starting to emit painful feelings.
