Last week I took my CZ75 and two mags out to test some reloads. The first mag totaly failed to feed even one round. The second mag was original to the gun, and I had put Wolff springs into it and its brother. It worked perfectly.

Today I took all my mags, six of which are factory new but not used, from when the Czech Republic was Czechoslovakia, and tested them all. Three had the Wolff springs, which I could tell by how stiff they were in reloading. Those three worked fine. Six still had the factory springs in them and all failed to get the round up in time to feed or get the bullet nose up.

The pistol is utterly reliable with good mag springs, This was a shock to me that all the factory springs were garbage. I had replaced the original springs about 15 years ago when I bought the gun just because, and as I recall I had no problems with the mags back then before the change out.

I have three Wolff springs on order and will order three more. The Wolf website states that with CZ75 springs 5% is really 10%, and 10% is really 15%. Now if I could only find my 10th mag..........

As an aside, there were people waiting to collect my brass when I was done shooting. Since I reload they didn't get it.

I like Wolff springs and use them in my M1 Carbine and a K98 I have set up to shoot Yugo 1950's ammo. Surplus weapons often need new springs to get them to function correctly.

sorry to hear that nevada...
I have all mecgar mags (oem for cz75's) for my 75b and haven't yet had a problem one way or the other but I use wolff springs for my surplus weps and mags when applicable.

I got the +5 lb (+10 per Wolff)

The original CZ mags were not megcar, as they are now. I have the Megcars in my CZ97B. This CZ is pre-B.

I have Wolff springs in several of my guns. They are good.
