Anybody got any clues as to where I might source a spare KWC CZ 75 4.5mm BB magazine ?
I recently bought. KWC 75 Competition model and have been chasing a spare 4.5 mm magazine ever since.
The pistol has an extended mag release button which only needs the slightest touch to accidentally drop the heavy magazine. I have had this happen a couple of times, but fortunately the magazine only dropped a few inches on to a carpet tile on the shooting bench. I’m sure the delicate magazine lips would have broken had it fallen to the floor leaving me with an expensive paper weight. I have tried contacting KWC directly with no response and KWC dealers have no idea when or even if their KWC stocks will ever be replenished. I believe the standard KWC CZ75 magazines are directly interchangeable with the Competition model. I also had this problem with my KWC Luger P08 but fortunately the magazine from the Umarex version also worked with the KWC pistol.
I have seen 4.5mm magazines for other pistols not available in the UK advertised as being in stock in EU or far east companies, but nothing for the KWC CZ75.

Brian I’d look at Asian dealers. HK or TW Thanks for the reply. It seems I will just have to be ultra careful with one magazine I do have as I have now checked just about all potential suppliers without any luck. it seems many of the KWC range of products are out of stock wherever you look. Brian |

Update.
I eventually found an email address for KWC Sales rather than using their website contact page and received a reply the following day. They apologised and confirmed that all of their European distributors were out of stock at the moment but it was hoped to replenish stocks soon. They also provided contact details for a Canadian distributor who had them in stock for just £30 each but with a £35 shipping charge. As these magazines are priced at around £50 when available in the UK, I decided to go ahead and order. Delivery is estimated at 4-6 weeks but no hurry unless I manage to drop the existing mag in the meantime.

I’ve secured one via Mundilar in Portugal for €54 delivery by FedEx in a matter of days. I used to use this company prior to Border Force problems and many EU dealers shutting down the UK. Mundilar are reopened sales with the UK and they are a good company to deal with.
Checking my bank it’s cost £46.86

Mundilar are reopened sales with the UK and they are a good company to deal with. Checking my bank it’s cost £46.86 Thanks for that. I too was a bit concerned about Border Force intervention but sourced a spare ASG CZ 75 magazine from Spain with no problems. The KWC CZ magazine I ordered from Canada is scheduled for delivery this Friday which will only have taken just over a couple of weeks, but the postage costs were more than the cost of actual magazine itself ! The feed lips on the KWC magazine seem particularly long and vulnerable to damage if the magazine were ever to be dropped from height. It would be nice to be able to buy spare parts for these magazines rather a having to order replacement magazines at around £40 each if you can get them. It seems spare parts for 6mm Airsoft guns and magazines are far easier to source than their 4.5mm equivalents. Brian |

Three off my CZ’s use the same 4.5mm mags but for speed shooting plate we only load 12 shots and need ready mags for quick reloads. For a fast reload we drop the mag to the ground, soft landing, bark, grass, etc, and smack in another.
