RGC Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I just purchased 2 A01-LD's for carry optics. They use the P10 mags. I just ordered a few extended basepads (to 140). Anyone use this set up and use the factory springs? Thinking of ordering some Grams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lroy Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 How you liking it so far? I was considering doing the same. I believe they make grips to take cz75 mags as an option also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGC Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 Love them. If I can figure out a better way to get the hammer pin retaining pin out would love them more... They do. I am sticking with original patterned mags as no longer have an cz75 variant ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superkaratemonkeyfighter Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Czcustom has the best deals in springs. Buy in bulk and be set for a season or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shoot a P-10F with Henning 140 mm basepads and use the P-10F/P-09 OEM magazine springs and a OEM follower with the front and rear tabs shortened to match the center tab. I get 22 rounds in there and have no trouble getting the mags to latch in the P-10. I need to go to 21 rounds if I want reliable latching in the P-09. After almost a season of use the OEM springs have weakened to the point where they would not lock the slide back if there's even the slightest contact between my left hand and the slide release. I replaced the spring in one mag with a new OEM spring. I took the old spring out of my other 140 mm mag and stretched it some. Both fixes work fine. I'm pretty sure the OEM spring is being compressed solid when I load 22 rounds in my setup. Coil binding a spring is detrimental to its durability, so it seems that the OEM springs are an annual consumable when using them in 140 mm magazines. The springs last basically forever in unmodified P-10F magazines since they don't go solid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That little pin is a huge pain. I’ve been hitting my frame on a block of wood with decent success. The couple times that didn’t work, CZC told me to just drive out the hammer pin and break the small pin. You don’t have to hit it with much force to snap it in half. As for mags, I’m using the CZC extensions, I like how the fit with the frame, unlike Hennings. I’m using the stock springs and followers. My followers have been shortened a decent amount and all my mags hold 23 (reloadable, but I’d still down load) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpeters11 Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 The images should be attached. When you cut down the front, you’ll have to do a bit of sanding on the corners, they’ll get caught on the mag release slots. So far I haven’t had a malfunction. Eventually I’ll try cutting them down more or playing with TTI followers and grams springs like the q5sf people have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And oh yeah I figured out that the front leg's corners needed to be rounded and deburred really well to prevent snags on the mag latch notches when loading it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverscooby27 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Before I break out the Dremmel… for the grams followers for the P-09 mags…do you have to cut off the tab for maximum round count like a 2011 follower? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
