The forums have been hosted for some time now out of my pocket. We are coming up on the annual domain renewal for ohioccwforums.org and I pay roughly $20/month to keep the forums online. I do this to maintain the long-standing history of discussions here indexed in Google, and so that people have a place to discuss this topic outside of modern social media censorship.

The biggest "secret" in the world of CZs happened to be about what was probably the best made ProMag magazine ever. ProMag made a 10-round .40S&W magazine for the compact CZ ... a gun that CZ had not released yet. Without any modification, this same magazine could be used in the 9mm P-01 (as a 14 rounder) with excellent results. I still have 10 of these ProMags and with routine spring replacement, they still function in my P-01, my CZ 75 Compact .40 and my CZ 40P. 9mm or .40S&W, it just doesn't matter.

I learned from the mistake of the AWB, bought a Saiga AK which could only hold 10 rounds. I learned how to cut the legs on the follower and turn it into a 15 round magazine as well as putting a round nose screw on an AK 30 rd. magazine to make it work in a Saiga. I also then bought a handful of AK's.

The main things I remember were all the ugly thumbhole stocks and the junk high cap mags. Remember USA brand mags? They were about the only ones you could get for a decent price but most were not reliable. Many (most) quality mags were $85 or more. I remember so many stories of people using these mags and blaming the gun when these failed. At the time, most of the 10 round AR mags didn't work either. I still have a few Bushmaster 10 rounders that didn't feed.
I also remember all the loud muzzle brakes back then.
Now if I buy a firearm that takes high cap mags, I make sure that I can get a supply of mags before I purchase the firearm. Now is the time to stock up while prices are decent and most can be found to purchase.

You nailed it!
I have at least 6 "normal" capacity mags (13 round) for each pistol, and over 50 AR-15 mags!
I will NEVER be caught by surprise, by a "ban" again!
