The new Nocturne editions of the P-09 have finally made me curious enough to look at picking one up.  That said, I'm somewhat confused by the magazine compatibility between the original P-09, the Nocturne, and apparently the P-10.  It seems there is some cross pollination between the designs?

Leaning towards the full size one.  From what I gather, the original P-09 mags will work in the Nocturne, but not the reverse.  Which are also compatible with the full-size P-10?

Guessing the compact follows the same pattern?

CZ's website is uselessly vague on this, beyond the new Nocturne mags being more expensive because of the notched baseplate.

I’ve got one out for review, and asked my contact at CZ a similar question. For 15rd mags in the Nocturne: “For the 15rd mags the nocturne ones are going to be your best bet for fitment and look but the p-10 c mags will technically work as well.”

Here is a video that a guy uses a few different magazines from different models of CZ and other brand guns. He had issues with the CZ P09 C Nocturne magazines. Wonder if it’s a weak spring or something else with the magazines?

I can’t wait to get my P09 C Nocturne.

P-09 Nocturne is an updated P-09
P-09C is an updated P-07.

Seems dumb to me that they rebranded the well known 07 to 09c but I at least understand what they are trying to accomplish.


The P-09 Nocture can use Nocturne mags, or P-09 Mags, or P-10* full size mags.

The P-09c Nocturn can use P-07c Nocturne mags, or P-07 Mags, or P-10c* mags

P-07 and P-10c use a different baseplate, but the 07 version has been essentially unobtainable for years.


*the P-10c and P-10f have several early variations where the mag release was moved.  So really early mags won't work.  You need the ones with three mag catch notches.

Yup, when the P10C came out, P07 mags became somehow harder to find - I stocked up on P10C mags for it. I just sold my 07 to fund an 09C - the 09C baseplates preclude those mags from working in a P10C or P07, but P10C and P07 mags will fit and work just fine in a P09C - the mag bodies springs and followers are identical, just the baseplates are different.

P09 (fullsize) mags will also work, just stick out a bit.
