kirbinster Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Does anyone know where I can get some decent 15 round magazines for a CZ-75B. I live in the people's republic of NJ where you get to go to state prison if you have the standard 16 round magazine for this gun. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayDee Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 To my knowledge, the options are 10, 16 or 18 from the factory. Mec Gar makes 16, 17 and 19 rounders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbinster Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 Actually I believe they used to make 15 round mags but have stopped for some strange reason. Seems odd as until this year only NJ had a 15 round limit but now CO does also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Original CZ mags were 15rnd. Follower design changed and now 16. Promag makes a 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eerw Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Truthfully, I do not know. Have used the ProMag compact mags in a 40P, but have not seen the current full-size mag. Any chance you have a CZ 75 in 40? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Try Natchez SS http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=ZMCZA1 They have a 15 day return policy. I'd guess that within 2 weeks you would know if they work or not. Edited October 17, 2013 by warpspeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbinster Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 eerw- Mine is 9mm Warpspeed - I ordered two from Natchezss but was not aware of the 15 day return policy. Should have them next Monday so I guess we will see then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have them next Monday so I guess we will see then. the 12-round 40 mags from mecgar work awesome in the 9mm gun (and vise versa, they are the same mag except for the location of the holes). They will hold 17 rds of 9mm, but they are labeled to hold 12 rounds. Not sure what the legal issues might be. Thankfully I don't have to care.

Or is it only a crime if you don't actually own a .40 gun? what if you use the 17-round 9mm mag in your 40, where it only holds a legal 12-rounds? I use a 17-round mag with extension (holds 19 rounds of 9mm or 14 rds of 40) as my barney mag in production. I'm skeered to go to a match in NJ now.

rowdyb Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I life in Kalifornia and have for over a decade. Honestly, when have you ever had the capacity of one of your mags questioned by someone in authority? If it hasn't happened to people here then I doubt it's really happening anywhere. Sorry for the thread drift. I have a 75b on the way so can't wait to shoot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirbinster Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Possession of a device that can feed more than 15 rounds is a crime in NJ. That said you are probably OK with your .40 cal 12 round magazine as long as you keep it away from your 9mm gun. Once you insert it into the gun or even load one round of 9mm ammo into it I think you could be opening yourself up to some serious legal issues. Remember that unlike some places, handguns are strictly illegal in NJ except by specific exemptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motosapiens Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) I guess if i were in your situation I would just get a 1911 and shoot L10, and not worry about any laws, or magazine availability. Or trade your 9mm for a 40 (if you can find one). a 75b in .40 is a great gun for production if you reload.

rowdyb Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 i apologize for my ignorance. i always hear soo much complaining about CA that i never expected another place to be worse. i have 6 mags coming for my 75b i just ordered, so we'll see how they all work.

02doooce Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Couldn't you have the 16rd mags capped so they only load 15? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClangClang Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 They have to be permanenty pinned and welded such that they can't be made into a 15 round magazine without significant work involving tools. That level of work almost always renders the magazines sealed so that they can't be opened and cleaned. Not really worth it. Pinned mags are a real pain in the ____ here in NJ.

ClangClang Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Side note - I have a CZ here in NJ. 15 round ProMags feed fine, but don't have a last-round-hold-open. I have a whole bunch of 10 round factory mags for competing in Production USPSA and IDPA. I do carry out of state, but with a compact Glock, not my supremely heavy SP01 (which I had to swap out the grips to even make IDPA max weight), so having 15 rounders for the CZ doesn't really do me any good anyway.

kneelingatlas Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 I would suggest getting a handful of 10 rounders and calling it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So where did you find the 10 round mags and what do they cost. I got the two ProMags in the mail yesterday and they seem fine except that they don't lock back on empty*****. Wish I had been told about that before ordering. I think Natchessz should have that listed on the webpage, but oh well. Figure I will keep them as they were cheap enough. The 16 rounds and pinning get kind of expensive, so maybe I can get the 10 rounds for less as that will be fine. *****Well I said the ProMags don't lock back as that was what I was told above. I took them to the range today and they worked perfectly in my new CZ-75B matte stainless. They locked back each time with no issues.

bigdave24 Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Unfortunately the old pre-ban cz and mec-gar 15 round mags can almost always hold 16 rounds. So even though marked 15, I would think they would be illegal in NJ, unless there is a state pre-ban exception. NY got rid of the pre-ban exception, and soon 10 round mags (or lower capacity) will be the only ones legal in the state. And you can only load 7 unless you're at the range!
