So I got my Sub in the "Multi-Mag" model. I have mag latches for S&W M&P and 59 series as well as a latch for the Beretta 92. I have other carbines that use those mags already so I had a good supply.

After some discussion on mags that might work in a Sub I started digging through my boxes and found two new unused 30 round magazines I had picked up eight years ago just before the panic during that election and fear of bans. These mags fit the CZ 75 series of pistols, another favorite firearm of mine. I had never used them as I really don't have much call for a 30 round pistol magazine...they stick way out! I noticed how they were the same general size as the Beretta 92 mags and I was thinking about how Kel-Tec had made the Multi-Mag lower to fit many different magazines. I doubt Kel-Tec will make a CZ 75 latch but I am thinking about writing to them about that as its a very popular pistol line and there are many variations that share the same latch position.

So, not wanting to wait for Kel-Tec to produce said latch I did the next best thing and made the magazine fit a latch they already had. With some precise measurements I proceeded to add a second notch to the CZ magazine and made it fit my Sub with the Beretta 92 latch. I tested it and it functions perfectly in the Sub. Then I thought, WTF, why not make it work in my Beretta CX-4 also. So, a little more work and I added the notch on the top left feed lip that Beretta uses for their LRHO. I even cut the notch in the follower and made it match the Beretta mag.

Today I tested this modified magazine in both the Sub2K Gen 2 and the CX-4 Storm and am happy to report it worked great in both rifles and it even works the bolt hold open in the Beretta. Now I will convert the other mag and have two additional 30 round magazines for both my Sub2k and my CX-4. For a few minutes work and no additional money outlay I have two more nice 30 round mags for my Sub...love it!

I know many of you love Glocks but for me and many others the Multi-Mag grip on the Sub with the various available mag latches opens up a lot of options for us as to mag choices.

Kel-tec made cz mag adapters for the gen1 subs, don't know why they wouldn't make them for the new ones.
Sorry, no. They may have made one of the 3 that by coincidence fit the CZ75 mag. But there was never to my knowledge a CZ specific mag catch made for it. Unless you are referring to the original all metal Sub9. In which case I suppose it is possible they made a limited run of CZ versions. But I haven't heard of them in the past 10+ years.

Over the years I have owned a Sub9, several Sub2k Gen. 1's and now a Gen 2. I have looked for parts for all and I can never recall seeing a latch for a CZ magazine. Now, that does not mean there was never one made but I recall looking for latches for all the models I have owned and can not remember ever finding it listed for a CZ. They currently do not list one for the Gen 2.

They do list the following: Beretta 92, Smith & Wesson M&P, Smith & Wesson 59 series and Sig 226 series. I have all the latches except the Sig. ( I no longer own a Sig pistol).

The mag modification is quick and easy and in my case allow me to use the magazines in my CZ pistols, my Sub2k Gen 2 and my Beretta CX-4 Storm carbine. I am happy with that.

I encourage members to check out the FAQ.
There is a pistol compatibility chart.
And there is a magazine compatibility chart.
IIRC, quite a large selection of both and what to do to make them compatible.

Last year a dealer had a beretta sub gen1 that was set up to run cz mags. If I remember correctly it was original a beretta with a cz mag catch installed. The dealer said Kel-tec sold them to convert the beretta to cz. If that is true, and I thought it was because I held it in my hands, I would think that Kel-tec would offer the conversion parts for the 2nd gen subs.

I can't speak for the dealer and since I don't know him I won't call him a liar. I can only repeat what I know from 10+ years of membership in this forum. While members have adapted theirs to function with CZ magazines using one of the 3 (S&W, Ber92, or SIG), I have personally never heard of a Kel-tec made CZ specific magazine catch. You probably need to call Kel-tec and see what they say.
