CZ75B Magazine Question

[Just1more]

I just picked up my CZ75B and would like to add some more magazines. (haven't shot it yet)

I see CZ sells their factory mags but Midway/Brownells sells a brand called Mec-Gar. Any suggestions which ones to purchase - I prefer to buy factory brand mags but not sure what the difference is unless they are indeed an aftermarket magazine. Should i just stick to the CZ mags? After spending what I did, i don't want to buy inferior magazines...

Thanks for any input.

ps - in another thread i mentioned difficulty racking the slide - what i realized is there is less slide to grip and that is my issue. I chose to deal with it best i can as i am taking a chance that the design had some other advantages re recoil.

Mec-Gar magazines are very good. They make OEM mags for quite a few gun manufacturers.

I use them in CZs, Hi Powers and 1911s and have never had any issues with any of them.

Stay away from Promags.

Mec-Gar actually makes CZ's original equipment mags.

Mec-Gar makes original equipment mags for many gun manufacturers.

I use the factory mags that came with my gun plus the MecGars. I never have had an issue with either one. I dont even notice any difference in feel during reloads. I bought here http://gregcotellc.com/cart/index.ph...ndex&cPath=130 in the past but notice they now have a blue follower. I think they used to be only around sixteen bucks in the past too. I see he has " inserted" mags for a slightly lower price. From my past experience with the company I would be a hundred percent comfortable buying those.

CZ builds their guns in the Czech Republic. The mags say Made in Italy. Guess who made them?

Actually , the latest CZ's come with mags that clearly say MEC GAR.

I thought so but I wasnt 100% sure. I think they might make the RIA .45 mags too. They say made in Italy, and they have that Mec-Garish look to them.

Mec Gar are THE magazine manufacturer. As others have said they make CZ mags as well as others. BUY THEM.

Thanks everyone !
I ended up ordering a bunch through Midway as they had the lowest price and free shipping right now. The mags that came with the gun look to be after markets - probably the Mec gar as they look just like them and not like the ones shown for almost $50 factory originals... there aren't any markings on mine so i really don't know who made them.

Those are ACT mags, not Mec-Gar.

The Mec-Gar mags work great in all of my CZs and CZ Clones. At half the price of CZ branded mags, it makes more sense to get them.
