Tattoo Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I decided to buy a Shadow 2 and was wanted to pick up a few extra magazines. What is the factory mag that comes with it? I found 18rd “SP-01” mags but the S2 magazines are listed as 17 rounds?? Anyone have a link to the best deal or explain what mag I want? Thanks T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tattoo Posted May 17, 2018 Author Share Posted May 17, 2018 Thanks for the links. So do the factory S2 mags hold 17rds due to a +1 base pad? And the 18 round factory mags I am seeing as just +2 base pads??? T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurusty Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 CZ used 18 round tubes, MCG users 17. They do use different base pads,I believe, someone else can correct me if I'm wrongSent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It becomes +1 when you rack up the slide to chamber a round and then put another round into the mag. The SP01 18 rd mags are 18 round tubes. The 19 rd mecgar mags are 17 round tube with a +2 base pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quack Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I wouldn't get the SP-01 18rd mags, my friend and I both had the base pads slip off during a reload. His was during a match, min was practice. Looked it up, and it's a common problem. Since then I switch to the MecGar 17rd AFC mags, which are the same as the factory Shadow 2 mags. The 19rd mags that come with some of the Shadow 2's are 17rd nickel plated with a +2 padsThe +2 pads on the 17rd mags won't fit in the production box.

uewpew Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) Any CZ75 mag will work in the Shadow 2. I like the Mec-Gar 17 rounders. If you're shooting USPSA i'm told the Mec-Gar 19 rounders will not fit in the box... Edited May 19, 2018 by uewpew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George16 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) I’m using the stock 17 round shadow 2 mags and bought two additional 17 round mecgar mag from gregcotellc.com. I installed henning base pads on them and they fit the box for uspsa production. Edited May 19, 2018 by George16 Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxGuy Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 I like the CZ 16 round mag with the Springer base pads. MecGar 17s are my back up mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not arguing but I’ve never had it happen in 4 years of running an S1 with factory 18rounders so I never looked it up. Could it be something with the S2s?

Quack Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 No, that happened with my SP01 Accu-shadow and my friends SP-01 Shadow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sdlrodeo Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 How about that? Interesting. I wonder if it was a particular batch. By no means am I an expert but this is the First I’m hearing of this. I’ll look around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll look around. Not a particular batch, as my gun was a few years older than my friends.I found out about the issue when I searched this forum. To prevent it, you can add extra power mag springs.

slavex Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 MecGar mags are the same as what ships with the 2, either the 17s with +2 pads or 17s, or in places like Canada, 10 round. Factory CZ 18 round mags are totally different, longer tube, different baseplate. The MecGar mags with +2 MecGar baseplates will not fit the Production box. The baseplate is too big. There are other pads that will fit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meathead4343 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I just got a Magwell for my shadow 2 but none of my mags will seat all the way in. I got a wiff of something about the SP01 mags working. Can anyone confirm that? I’ve tried a few different style of base plates and none of them will seat all the way in.

Hansb57 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Strange. My s2 came with 3 19 round mags (17+2) https://www.czub.cz/en/cz-shadow-2.html Edited August 16, 2019 by Hansb57 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meathead4343 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Yep...mine came the same magazines but with a Magwell on it the +2 and the flush base plates are to wide to fit all the way in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the factory 18 round SP-01 mags are what you need in order to use a magwell, the SP-01 magazine body is longer than the 19 round mecgar mags that come standard with the S2.

Same problem when I attached a mag well to my Shadow-2. The magazines won't seat. So are the mags above the same as the CZ 11152 magazines? So the mec-gar 19 rnd mags wont work either? What baseplate extensions can I use and attach to these magazines to make the 140 mm USPSA LTD rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
