Whoa, which mecgar magazine did you fit into what kind of Tanfoglio? I have a Stock 3 on the way and keep heating different things about it's magazine interchangeability with CZ mags.

It's the mags with the blue followers (anti-friction-coating?)

I use a 9mm mag regularly for uspsa (shooting 40 minor in production class) because I don't have enough 40 mags. The only difference is where the holes are drilled. that is sometimes annoying because it means i have to empty the mag first, before putting 10 rounds in. I'll probably drill another hole.

I've tried it both ways. 9mm in the 40 mags and 40 in the 9 mags.

CZ-75 size mags will fit small frame Tanfoglio guns. CZ-TS mags, which are larger than a CZ-75 mag, will not work in a large frame Tanfoglio nor small frame Tanfoglio,

I don't know the frame size of a Stock 3.

good luck

I ran some Tanfoglio .40 mags in my CZ75B last match and had some issues with the mag not locking in; I noticed I had about a millimeter gap between the bottom of the frame and the top of the mag. When I used some CZ mags in my Tanfo, I had to file the notch a little before they would lock in.

When I load 9mm rounds into my .40 TS mags, the last round flips through the feed lips and stovepipes. I plan to make a TS big stick out of .40 mags and bend the feed lips to the same spec as my 9mm mags; I'm hoping to get 30 or 31 with the Grams internals.

just in case anyone was wondering about capacity of 9mm in the 12 round AFC 40cal mags, you can put 17 in just like with the 9mm mags

i was doubtful since when dealing with same size mags, normally a 40 will only be one to three less than 9mm, and this was a 5 round difference
