ad5md Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I just recently acquired a SP01 Shadow for USPSA (transitioning from Glock and I want to purchase extra mags. Looking to hear from those who have used them (read somewhere that they are way better than the original from CZ). Also, maybe someone from the forum can tell me which part/model # will fit the CZ magwell and where to get them. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishsticks Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I was tracking right up until you said magwell. So this will be for limited? The Mec gar mags with springer basepads work great and fit the box for production. Many here are using those. I can't speak to their compatibility with the magwell. You might refer that question to Stuart at CZC, I'm sure he could point you to the exact part #. best place to purchase Mec gars IMHO is from Greg cote LLC.

Yes, this will be for Limited (will try shooting Production later on, sans magwell) and yes, I just checked and looks like Greg Cote has the best deals. I just need to know which to get.

CZinSC Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 you using the gun for production or limited minor? if production, get these: http://gregcotellc.com/cart/cz-mecgar-magazines-c-130/cz-75b-cz-85b-cz-75-sp01-17-rd-9mm-afc-mgcz7517afc-p-591.html?zenid=0288a694e2b67ac165133b2a3f93437b these are great, and will work for production. if you get the 19 rounders, your gun with them in it will most likely not fit the USPSA Production box and you will be moved to Open. if you're shooting limited, then sure go with the 19 rounders.

Quack Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Ahhh...read it again and saw magwell. If that's the case, I think you need to stick with factory 18rd mags and CZC or TTI pads. I don't know, as I shoot Production. This is how close the mag is with the MG17 And SP pads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ad5md Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 Thanks for the quick replies, guys. I checked Greg Cote's site and found this one which was one of those mentioned above. http://gregcotellc.com/cart/cz-mecgar-magazines-c-130/cz-75b-cz-85b-cz-75-sp01-19-rd-9mm-2-adapter-mgcz7519afc-p-592.html I hope someone with experience with this on a magwell would chime in.

fishsticks Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 For limited, Taran tactical just came out with extended basepads that might be worth a look. Seems like they were intended to match up with the factory mags. Hopefully kneelingatlas or one of the other CZ gurus will chime in. The tactical sport is more popular for limited and the SP-01 for production so many of the posts on this site are geared that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quack Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 http://czcustom.com/cz75magwellidpa.aspx CZ 75 / 85 / SP01 Aluminum Magazine Well Will Fit in the I.P.S.C. box. Depending on Sight Options Will Fit in the I.D.P.A box. Depending on Sight Options New super size Aluminum mag well for the CZ 75 series guns. As large as this mag well is it still fits in the I.P.S.C. box. As you can see in the video you will need to purchase 19 round magazines (11152) and either trim the base pads or we suggest using the:- CZ Rubber Base Pads 10070 The Short Extended Base Pads 10187 You Will all also need short grips (CZC Part #10148), or to shorten your grips for this magazine well to work. At this time there are no longer magazine for the CZ 75 40 S&W guns. Which means major modifications need to be done to base pads for the 12 rnd magazine to work in the mag well. (or you can use SP01 9mm 19rnd magazines we have tested them and they work fine ) We suggest using the CZ 75 Main Spring Plug for Mag Well (10165) Main spring plug with pin that goes into the hole on newer CZ Custom CZ 75 Mag wells. The mag well can be friction fitted, but using this part makes the mag well much more secure on the gun and does not require tightening of the mag well to the frame for a good fit. https://youtu.be/i4KiyI_i1Lo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quack Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 These are the 11152 mags, which are the factory 18rd mags http://czcustom.com/CZ-75-SP01-9mm-18-rounds.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have exactly all that were mentioned above....only booboo....I forgot to install the magwell Main Spring Plug. Good thing is, the magwell was tightly friction fitted (had to cover it with towel and hit with a rubber mallet). I hope it stays as it is otherwise I will have to figure out a way to slide it out without marring the magwell and pistol finish to install the plug. I guess I'll just keep on using the original mags (3 that came with the pistol & 1 (11152) and see how they perform then decide if I need to get the Mec-Gar ones. Thanks, Quack and to the rest of the group for all your input. Really appreciaite it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ85Combat Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Just so you know Mec-Gar makes the factory mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freshrider Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 For limited/3gun, I believe the only option to get to 140mm is factory sp01 mags and czc basepads. With the springs and followers, that should get you to 22 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freshrider Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Actually it looks like the new Taran pads would work as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogtired Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Taylor Freelance has pads for the Mec Gar 17 mags. http://taylorfreelance.com/shopping/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5&zenid=qfrlcdogqpvdg6mmf76u6559n6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJART Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 The springer base pads for the 17 are the exact same as the 10 rounders. Mec Gar uses the 17 rounders for the 10's; they just put the dimple in them. And buy the mags from Greg, he's good people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
