Mec-Gar CZ 75B Competition Mags

Mec-Gar’s CZ 75B Competition magazines build off the company’s previous 17-round configuration with the addition of an extended aluminum floorplate that provides capacity for two extra rounds.

The new 19-round magazines are constructed with a carbon-steel, heat-treated body complete with witness holes on its rear face. The aluminum basepad is textured to aid in stripping magazines from the gun’s magazine well, and each magazine is treated with an anti-friction coating that aids in loading and unloading.

Inside the magazine body is a spring manufactured from Type D music wire, and a bright-blue follower provides an easy visual indicator of an empty magazine. Ten-round variants are available for capacity-restricted states.

MSRP is $66. For more information, please visit mec-gar.com.
