Have you ever woke up during the night and thought ‘man, I need more ammo for my CZ {GUMODEL}, then went to buy some nice rounds for it, came hope happy and realised that you’ve only got one mag to feed the ammo in?

The old shaolin saying is ‘more ammo is always a good choice’ and we’re here to guide you through all the things about CZ 75 SP-01 Tactical magazines plus some extra tips at the end.

That spare ammunition can be a life saver and having an extra mag at the ready is always a good idea. You can find hundreds of opinions on the internet on how much is enough, some may tell you that 2 or 3 extra mags are enough, some may tell you that at least 30 rounds are enough, some may tell you otherwise. But all of those responsible shooters know one thing, carrying spare ammo in a proper mag pouch or mag holder is as important as having a handgun holster.

You may be the fastest hand in the west and empty a mag on target in zero point fast seconds, but if you can’t reload your gun properly well, there is just some bad news coming your way. Let’s talk about 4 key pistol reloads and 9 magazine tips.
The 4 major Pistol Reload Methods:
You perform an ER when the pistol's slide is locked back, all rounds have been fired from the mag and chamber, and the gun runs out of ammo. There is NOT a round left in the chamber and the gun and mag are empty. So, you press the mag release to release the empty mag, insert the new fully-loaded mag by placing your index finger of your support hand on the front of the mag to guide it, and then release the slide forward. These steps are very similar to the SR steps that follow.
You perform an ER when the pistol's slide is locked back, all rounds have been fired from the mag and chamber, and the gun runs out of ammo, you press the mag release to release the empty mag, insert the new fully-loaded mag by placing your index finger of your support hand on the front of the mag to guide it, and then release the slide forward. These steps are very similar to the SR steps that follow.
1) Press the mag release with your strong-hand thumb to eject the partially empty mag to the ground; Keep the gun high center chest. In a SR, an advantage is that the gun is still in battery and loaded with a round in the chamber, so you do not have to rack the slide. The disadvantage is that you have ejected a mag with rounds in it to the ground.
2) A split second before your strong-hand thumb presses the mag release to release the mag to the ground, your support hand should have grabbed and started pulling out a new fully-loaded mag from where it is stowed. At the same time, your strong-hand thumb should move to the mag release button.
3) Place your index finger straight alongside the front strap of the mag to guide it when you get the full mag and insert it into the mag well. Place the back of the mag into the mag well directly to the rear against the backstrap and with the rounds in the mag bullet-end facing forward toward the target.
4) Quickly move your support hand up in position to quickly rack the slide rearward to chamber a round from the new full mag.
When there is a round in the chamber and you have a partially-spent mag during a break or lull in the action, it may be necessary for you to catch your breath and refresh your partially-filled mag with a fully-filled one for the action that follows.
WheThe shooter gets a new mag with his support hand, moves it toward the gun, releases the mag in the gun to the support hand where it is held at the same time the new mag is inserted into the mag well. The shooter has two mags in his support hand at the same time. Remember, you do NOT want the ejected mag to go to the ground so it will be readily available later. Do NOT drop one or both mags or fumble with them. The major advantage of the Tactical Reload is that you have a few extra rounds or so already in the partially-empty mag for later.
With the RR, you first release the partially-loaded mag into your support hand, stow it in your pocket (NOT onto the ground), then get a fully-loaded mag from your pouch, and place it in the gun, with rounds still in the magazine, one round in the chamber, and from a tight, close high-ready retention position. This is a more basic and efficient reload method than some of the others and is preferred by many shooters, since there are less manipulations and only one hand (support hand) is used.
Ensure the Mags Always Face the Same Direction in your mag pouch, so you can grab them and insert them correctly and quickly in the gun (I like to face the bullet-end of my rounds in the mag towards the front);
1) When you grab or acquire a mag from the pouch or insert it into a mag well, always index and guide it into place by extending your support-hand index finger on the front strap of the mag
2) Always safely keep the gun's muzzle pointed downrange or slightly up to the air on your right side, while grabbing the mag from the pouch and performing the reload
3) Hold the gun up high in the chest or chin area (high retention position) with arms in close to the body during reloads and mag changes
4) Label your Mags by Priority (1,2,3,4), so you will know which ones are the reliable ones and your frequency and order of use
5) Ensure the Mags Always Face the Same Direction in your mag pouch, so you can grab them and insert them correctly and quickly in the gun (I like to face the bullet-end of my rounds in the mag towards the front)
6) Rotate & Shoot your Various Mags Often (especially carry ones) to ensure they function well (I try to change my carry mag springs once a year or so)
7) Never Place EMPTY Mags back in the Mag Pouch so you can expect the mag you reach for to be loaded; some say put ONLY fully-loaded mags in the pouch, while others say put the partially-loaded mags in your pocket or in another pouch or at the back position of a double-mag pouch (your call)
8) Divide your mags into 2 categories: Practice Mags and Personal Protection-Carry or Home Defense use, based on their reliability and length of use;
9) Have at least 4 Mags Per Gun, since they are easily damaged, are perishable, and will not last forever; your purpose and use for the gun influence the number of mags you should own.
We are dealing with the issue of extra ammo, how to get it in the mag the best way and how to reload like a pro but unless you haven’t got the AMMO itself you may as well read about rocket science without sitting in your rocket. So not only is it important to know the size of ammunition you need, but it is also important to consider the use you have intended for the bullets that you are picking out. Consider the type of ammo that you prefer. The type of bullet varies and may be important if you are using the ammo for a specific activity such as either target shooting, hunting, or self-defense. Here are examples:
