| Are these really Sig clones? Can you use Sig parts such as magazines in it? |
| I would like to know this as well, I've had an eye on one nearby for a while now. They do look very similar. I though I read that there is some issue with using Sig magazines, since one is ambidextrous and the other isn't, or something like that. I can't find that source right now though. |
| I have one. TZ 99 mags work and sig mags work but you have to put a hole at the front of the mag for the ambi mag release. It is a hole with a flat at the top. If your good with a drill, a dremel, or needle file it is not that bad. Locating the hole is the toughest part. Grind it till you find it. |

i would go with "clone" only to the point of being similar in appearance.
the CZs only have 1 (not 2) controls for the decocker AND slide release. its also ambi whereas the SIg isnt. There is a loaded chamber incicator also. iirc, the barrel/chamber is chrome lined too. iirc, it will use S&W M59 mags but will need some mods since the CZ has ambi mag relase and the catch/notch its in the front like rugers. I have p/u some S&W mags for my CZ99, but i havent even shot it yet so i dont know. just an fyi, there is the newer CZ 05. its similar to the CZ99, but with a rail for those of you that like to add weight or things. for the $$$ i would buy 2, 1 for use and 1 for spares if there werent any parts. If youre concerned with spares, call EAA and ask. they are the importeres for the CZ05 and may have a line on parts for the CZ99 |
