Wasatch801 Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Does flattening the mag spring in a CZ75b or changing it to the one found in the 85 Combat disqualify the firearm from USPSA production? I just don't understand why the 75b does NOT have drop free mags like the 85Combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 no..modifying the spring does not make it illegal for production.. on many guns..retaining the magazine is thought as feature...so the shooter does not loose it.. for USPSA type shooting it is a hinderance..the last couple of 75Bs I have seen the mags dropped out..

Vlad Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Plus, it is a factory option to have it replaced on your 75B. Thus it should be ok USPSA and IPSC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasatch801 Posted April 7, 2006 Author Share Posted April 7, 2006 I definitely think retaining the mags is a hindrance too! The only 75b's I've seen with drop free mags are in .40cal....no 9mm's that I've seen yet. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony S45 Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Be careful when you straighten out the thin flat spring to allow the mags to drop free. It is a bit brittle and some can crack on the crease. If it does crack, just order a flat one for a CZ85. Not much $$$ but a pain to wait for the part.

Trisha Lowry Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 I am not sure I understand, as the mags in my CZ75b drop free and I have no problem with them? You might want to contact Angus Hobdell www.ghostholster.com about your question though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 It seems to me that the original CZ75B's came with the mag break but at some point might have switched to the drop free. Or maybe its just random. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derwoodski Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 It seems to me that the original CZ75B's came with the mag break but at some point might have switched to the drop free. Or maybe its just random. Who knows? I have a 75b made in 2006 and the mags stuck a bit when brand new....that lasted about 2 days, I just reached in by hand and pushed the mag brake flat and worked the creases a bit with finger pressure. I then did about 50+ practice mag changes (about 10 per mag) and they now fall out nice and free. (using 2 stock 16 round mags and 3 mec-gar mags). I love the way the CZ shoots...points well and runs well on anything but cci blazer aluminum case rounds. (blazer brass ok) I have about 2000 rounds thru mine now and love it!
