itzjere Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 New to the CZ platform. Just picked up a SP-01. I noticed that some of the mags have some resistance when being inserted into the gun. It's not terrible that I can't overcome it, but just unusual to me when comparing it to other pistols I've owned. I've only tried this when the mags are empty, but is this normal? It is something that just needs to be broken in on my new pistol? I am using the factory SP-01 18 rounders. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himurax13 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Sometimes the magazines get hung up on the poly coating and the magazine brake. I add this part to all of my CZ's to help reduce this and it makes it easier to reinstall the hammer spring. http://czcustom.com/CZ_75-CZ_85-SP01Solid-Mag-Break.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzjere Posted January 23, 2015 Author Share Posted January 23, 2015 Interesting. I will take a look to see if I can see any markings on my mags in that area.. didn't think about the brake. Also, to add, I found that if I pushed on the magazine release while inserting the higher resistance mags, it was fine.. Is it possible that the release button is slightly off centered? However, I don't have this issue with all my mags (only 3 of the 6). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On all of my CZ's I typically install the extended magazine release and I contour it to the inside of the magazine well to ensure proper operation.
