jayjay1 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Hello guys, the mags don´t fall free from my TS. Can I just take out the "mag break" on the inner back of my grip? Are there pros and cons to do this? And if I should, how is that be done? Begging for help, Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomet Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Jay, are you running the CZC extended basepads? If so I had to file down the upper rear corners so the mags would drop. The fit was close enough that the mags would seat but not well enough to drop. The upper rear corners were contacting the magwell. Will the mags bodies drop without the basepads on them?

jayjay1 Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 @Neomet: Nope, no CZC basepads over here, mine are the original ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Take off the grips, insert a mag and see if you can tell where it is hanging up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
open17 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 If it's got the stock mag brake in it pull it and throw it away. I had one fold up on me mid stage---not pretty. CZ Custom sells a stainless one that is much heavier, ten bucks. That may or may not solve your problem. Sometimes I "paint" a sticky mag with a sharpie, Then insert and remove it and look for the tight spots and adjust as needed. I've also had a couple of CZ factory mags that had a little burr on the mag catch notch. Couldn't really see it, but could feel it. Those mags would hang up. Couple of strokes with a fine file fixed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayjay1 Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Well, that´s easy to say. I can pull out the mag piece for piece, because the mag break holds it back in place. If I don´t pull, it rests just where it is. The mags are smooth and clean, no burrs, nothing. So my question is, what are the pros and cons when I take out the mag break. It must have any function, so, what happens when it is gone? Edited April 6, 2014 by jayjay1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czhase Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I was having the same issue with mine, I found that if I over tighten the grip screws they push on the back of the mag break bowing it out slightly and stopping the mags from dropping free. Back you grip screw out a little and see if that helps, if it does you may need to shorten the screws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czhase Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) Open17, Are you running the stainless mag break in a Tac Sport, I was wanting to try one but the CZC site only listed it for standard 75 frames? Thanks, Chase Edited April 6, 2014 by Czhase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Chase No. I'm messing with a pair of CZ75 SP01 Tacticals. Guess I didn't realize that the Tac Sport part might be different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ85Combat Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 (edited) The mag break keeps the magazine from getting caught on the frame when reloading, you need the mag break. it may not be the mag break at all. see if your mags are rubbing on the sear cage under the ejector, right in the corner.

hops Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Do empty mags drop freely? I had an issue where two mags would not drop free when they were at least half way loaded. They would bulge just slightly when loaded. I was able to tune/bend them a bit to make them perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have driven the screws out a half turn and the mags felt out like melted butter. Little reason, big effect. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

levellinebrad Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I would still invest the 10 bucks for the straight brake. When you are changing magazines, the stock brake can bend in at the bottom and out at the top which will cause the magazine to stick no matter how loose the screws are. This was one of the most frustrating things for me when I switched to the Cz. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philo_Beddoe Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Make sure you are not "stabbing" the mag release hard. Take off the top end insert a mag and "stab" the mag release, you will see what I am talking about. Both my shadow and TS will do this (both have extended mag releases) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayjay1 Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Yo Philo, thanks for that point, I will check that out. Love my Shadow, but must get a little more familiar with the TS. Compared she is a big and heavy beast who kicks like a mule.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
