How the magazine works and what can be improved
A magazine consists of several main parts.
Each has its specific function; some can be replaced for better weapon performance and some you even have to replace if you want to upgrade the pistol with a magwell:
-
Body: the main part where cartridges are inserted, usually made of polymer, aluminum or steel.
-
Spring: pushes the follower up inside the magazine body, thus feeding cartridges into the chamber. It’s the part most prone to wear — its strength decreases, causing feeding malfunctions.
-
Follower: a plastic part on top of the spring, where cartridges rest.
-
Base pad: holds the spring and follower inside the magazine body. Shooters often replace this part of the magazine. Why?
-
Better durability when dropped,
-
Better weight distribution, where a heavier base pad improves the pistol’s behavior thanks to weight distribution,
-
Increased magazine capacity.
-
Possible ergonomic features for a more comfortable grip.
-
Installation of a magwell on the pistol – to be able to insert magazines, you need to replace the base pads with ones that are compatible with the magwell.
Why consider getting a new magazine?
There are several reasons why you might want a new magazine:
-
Wear: Even if you clean the magazine thoroughly and regularly, it’s a consumable item and wears out. A new magazine then guarantees quality and reliability.
-
Damage: Rough handling, drops or pressure can cause damage.
-
More magazines = more convenience: Usually you get two magazines with the pistol by default. Constantly reloading you during training or competition will slow you down. It is much more comfortable and efficient to get more pieces that you simply swap.
-
Increased capacity: A longer magazine holds more cartridges. The same can be achieved by a suitable base pad.
How to choose the right magazine
When choosing a new magazine, take the following criteria into account:
Compatibility with the model
Due to the robustness of the TS model bodies, their magazines are not compatible with other CZ models.
For detailed information about magazine compatibility by model, see the CZ Magazines Compatibility Guide, where you can find exactly which magazine can be used in which model.
Capacity
Capacity determines how many cartridges fit in the magazine. You can choose magazines with a capacity of 17–20 rounds. Although it relates to length, the two parameters aren’t interchangeable — magazines of the same length can have different capacities.
Purpose
CZ TS and TS 2 models are not carried concealed, but openly at ranges and competitions. Available magazines are adapted for that, usually heavier and with large capacity. You can also expand capacity with a
base pad. To be able to focus primarily on your performance,
we recommend getting multiple magazines that you swap instead of topping up.
TIP: For easier reloading equip the pistol with a
magwell.
Magazine maintenance tips
With proper maintenance you will extend the magazine’s lifespan and ensure its reliability.
Cleaning
Clean the magazine after every training session, competition and use.
Disassemble it according to the manual and wipe the body and base pad free of dust, gunpowder residue and excess lubricant. Clean the inside of the body, follower and spring with a soft brush or cloth.
Lubrication
Use a quality lubricant and apply it in a thin layer. Excess grease unnecessarily attracts dust.
Storage
Store magazines in a dry and dark place.
If you do not use the magazine for a longer period, store it unloaded to avoid unnecessary stress on the spring.
Pre-use inspection
Check that the base pad is not cracked and that it seats properly. Inspect the spring and follower.
Multiple magazines
If you have several magazines, they should be rotated regularly. It’s useful to have several spare springs on hand.
