Why only 10 round mags?
« on: March 27, 2011, 09:15:54 PM »
I was surprised that the P06 mag capacity was only ten. Given the same size frame in 9mm takes a 14 round mag, I thought that the 40 caliber round vs. 9mm would result in a loss of two rounds at most resulting in a 12 round mag. Any ideas why the 10 round mag?

But doesn't CZ realize there is market beyond CA and we in the free States want standard capacity mags?
 
I would think if the gun could take larger capacity mags, CZ would just do what Sig and other have done and offer with appropriate mags for various markets. How hard is it to stock two different mags, esp when it will increase sales in the free States?
 
But I assume mecgar has come to the rescue. Will this mag work P06?
