Will a CZ 75 mag fit a Browning High Power?

[solman]

Good morning fellow high roaders,
I was wondering if the mags are interchangeable between the Browning High Power and the CZ 75 in 9mm. I believe the CZ 75 is a Browning High power clone. Easier to find 10 rd mags for the CZ than for the Browning.
Thanks

Your answer would be no.
They are two totally different guns. It would be like saying a S&W model 19 was a clone of a Colt King Cobra.

The CZ 75 isn't a Hi-Power clone.

Are you looking for 10 round Hi-Power mags?

Greg Cote shows some 10 round Hi-Power mags http://gregcotellc.com/cart/browning-mecgar-magazines-c-121/?zenid=kvj5drnln506tso8a196noaqk0

Brownell's has them https://www.brownells.com/magazines...-magazines-prod69720.aspx?avs|Make_3=Browning

In the course of searching for a good price on MecGar magazines for my High Power about a month back I came across several sources for 10 round mags.
Not at all rare. Keep looking , you'll find 'em.

Yeah, except for zero parts interchangeability.

Thanks for the responses and sources. I must have confused the CZ with another model. I do remember there being High Power clones made some time ago. I thought it was CZ but I guess not. I have never held a CZ 75 or I guess I would have known.

Some people will argue that CZ's are the "heir" to the High Power design because of some (repeat - some) ergonomic similarities, similar overall dimensions, a linkless barrel (so not like 1911's) with locking lugs (so not like Glock's or Sig's with just a big fat hood as the locking surface), and the "hi power cuts" on the nose of the original 75 pattern. If you like High Powers, you are likely to like CZ's... but that's as far as it goes.

Here's an article on actual HP clones: http://highpowercollectors.proboards.com/thread/201/copies-browning-high-power

The Hi-Power is more small hand friendly than the CZ 75.

From the late Steven A. Camp, a guy who liked both...

If you are confident with Condition One carry and have smaller hands, go with the Hi Power.

The Hi-Power is more small hand friendly than the CZ 75.

Well, one is SAO (the HP), and the other is usually a DA/SA. Trigger reach is almost always going to be longer on a DA than SAO. There are lots of things that one can do to CZ's to shorten the reach, especially if you're OK with an SAO setup. But I have hands well within the fat part of the bell curve for adult males, so what do I know?

The Hi-Power is more small hand friendly than the CZ 75.

I'd have to agree with that, for my hand, wide, but short, maybe medium.

 

[1KPerDay]

Agree. The HP is actually TOO small for me to get a comfy 2 hand grip on, particularly the slimness of the frame and dust over.

 

[Steve S.]

The CZ 75 and the BHP look somewhat alike - you assumption is not that far off. Following, it could be said that the CZ and the BHP are clones if the 1911 as “general function” has the same purpose. However, they are very different handguns in detail and all are great designs - if the mags were interchangeable, life would certainly be easier.

I own both a Hi-Power and two CZs. The magazines do not interchange but when out of the gun, I truly cannot tell which is which at first glance.

FEG (Hungary) made Hi Power clones for years, as did FM (Argentina), Arcus (Bulgaria), and just lately, Tisas (Turkey).
