I have a CZ 75 Compact for my carry gun that I'm starting to question if I should have just got a P07 instead. right at 200 rounds in, and I've already come across a few..."quirks"...with future plans.

What I'm looking at right now is mag extensions.

I'd like to throw either the CZ Custom or the Taran Tactical +4 baseplate extensions on my spare mags, to go from having 14rd backups to having 18rd backups.

CZC didn't respond to my inquiry, while Taran tactical provided the following:

Reddit inquiry though appears to state that they would work, but given that both of these responses are directly conflicting and one of them is the actual manufacturer vs. some guy on the internet, I'm turning to, well, more guys on the internet. Because that makes sense.

Has anyone here tried this before? Or is there someone out there that makes mag extensions for the CZ 75 Compact? CZC also offers 10 and 13 coil mag spring/follower setups. Between a spring/follower, tools, confidence, and a willingness to take a small chance, is there a way to make this work with the compact model CZ75? Or should I just throw it on EE to sell or trade for a P07? Because though I do love the way this shoots, so far, that's looking like it might be the best route for a number of reasons.

As you said, the standard CZ75 Compact magazine is usually 14 rounds.

Some come with a 16 round magazine and plastic base plates that fit flush with the bottom of the Compact's frame.  The urban gray P01 has the 16 round/plastic base magazine and was sold that way.  The black P01 came with the 14 round magazines with a soft rubber base plate.  The standard CZ 75 Compact has a metal base plate, but still holds 14 rounds.  You can buy the 16 round magazines with the plastic base plate from Greg Cote, LLC.  Or you can buy 16 round Mecgar magazines and the base plates separately and put them together on your own.  Price is about the same, if you can get the magazines with a very good sale price.  Otherwise, just buy the magazine with the base plate already installed.



More than 16 rounds?  You're looking at the Mecgar extended magazines (17 or 19 rounds).  The bases won't be flush with the frame on the compact, but you'll have more rounds.

17 round (these will not be pretty - stick out well below the bottom of the frame - but they work).

19 round.  Same comments as the 17 round.

I have used all the above in my Compacts (CZ75 and P01).
