Okay, in a completely unprecedented event, I'm actually interested in a .40 caliber pistol.
I almost bought a CZ-40B as my first handgun. Local shop had one for $300.00 and something. Wish I had, but I liked the CZ-97 I ended up with.
Well, after the acquisition of my Colt, my poor 97 kind of fell by the wayside, so I sold it to a friend who's getting a lot more use out of it than I. It was a touch too big for my hands anyway.
I miss having a CZ around, though. FBMG had a CZ-40P for a steal recently. I liked it. I understand they took the remaining CZ-40B slides and mated them to P-01 frames.
I have a coupl'a questions though.
Magazines: They come with 10 round magazines with a big thick baseplate. What magazines work in these? Do CZ-75 .40 mags work? EAA Witness .40 mags? IMI Baby Eagle .40 mags? What I'm asking is if there's a way to get a magazine that holds more than ten rounds. The grip is big enough for 12 rounds or so, so I'd like it to hold 12 rounds, that's all.
Some people have had reliability problems. My CZ-97B took a LOT of breaking in. It wouldn't feed most JHP ammo at all until I sent the barrel back to CZUSA for a throat/polish. Do the .40 CZs share this problem?
