10-round Mags and Basepads

[ES13Raven]

Have a SP-01 Shadow Custom on the way, but since I live in the People's Republik of Kalifornia - I need to order 10-round mags.

I searched the forum and it looks like a lot of people like the Mec-Gar magazines. Are the Mecgar 10-rounders just as reliable as the standard capacity ones?

Also, who makes good aluminum basepads for 10-round magazines? They need to be IDPA & Production legal.

I read that the Springer Precision ones will not fit the 10-rounders.

Thanks!

Hey there,

The only 10 round CZ-75/Shadow magazines are factory OEM. Mec-Gar does not make them. Current market price is about $37 on Greg Cote LLC or CZ Custom. Link: http://www.gregcotellc.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=173&products_id=1427

The only aluminum base pads I know of are from CZ Custom for $38 bucks each. Link: http://czcustom.com/cz-aluminum-base_pad-10_round_standard.aspx

You can see the OEM polymer basepads are larger than you would expect because the mag tube is chopped down.

Cheers

Damn, I didn't know they existed. Thanks for the link, doing more research now. I can't seem to find many sites selling part # MGCZ7510B. I'm guessing it is a relatively new item. I'm tempted to order some to test them out in my shadow.

Yeah, it sucks for both of us living in a restricted State. But having magazines that only hold 10 rounds has proven to reduce crime

Haha yea.. Crime reduction and "safety."

I was looking for more info and on http://www.mec-gar.com/ and it shows the 10rd .40 as a new product right on the home page. If you click the arrow on the right of that image it shows the 10rd 9mm as new.

The mec gar neutered mags are basically the same as the standard ones only they have a crimp in the side of the mag to stop the carrier. So any parts for the standard work for the neutered mag. Here are some base pads https://www.benstoegerproshop.com/mobile/Product.aspx?ProductCode=CZ-SF1-A

And Greg cote is awesome to deal with, cheap pricing, fast service and inexpensive, quick, shipping.

I have a few of these on the way. I am will test them out in my Accu-Shadow, SP-01 non shadow and my Rami then report back. I also got the rubber cz basepads to see if they will fit.
