Arsenal Strike One
This magazine will function in the Arsenal Strike One, but it will not hold the slide open after the last round.
Bul Cherokee Compatibility
I have been told that pre-2005 Bul Cherokee models with the polymer frame and no accessory rail use CZ 75B magazines, rather than this magazine.
Pre-1988 Tanfoglio / EAA Models
Not for pre-1988 series models.
For pre-1988 models, the discontinued pre-B CZ 75 factory magazine will work. The CZ 11152 or 11102 magazine will also fit these pre-1988 models.
Sphinx / Phoenix Compatibility
A customer has reported that this magazine is compatible with the Sphinx/Phoenix pistols listed below and functions perfectly.
3009
AT2000S
PHOENIX FUSION STANDARD
PHOENIX REDBACK

This is the magazine for the small-framed metal EAA Witness / Tanfoglio and the EAA Witness PS (small frame polymer) pistols with the narrow magwell. If your pistol takes Witness magazine #101900, this is the magazine you need. The large frame metal and polymer pistols with the wider magwell take a different, wider magazine that I also stock. Mec-Gar is now the OEM supplier of the Tanfoglio magazines. These magazines are the Mec-Gar's aftermarket version of the factory magazine they make.
How to determine if you need the Witness Large Frame or Small Frame magazines:
Before 2005, the EAA Witness was produced in both small-frame and large-frame configurations, depending on the caliber and frame material. The Witness Classics and EAA Witness pistols made before 2005 in either 9mm or .40 S&W take small frame magazines. The .38 Super, .45 ACP, and 10mm models are all considered large-frame pistols. Witness P in full size, Witness Steel, Elite, and the Xtreme line models made after 2005 take large frame magazines. However, the EAA Witness P-S (small frame polymer) uses small frame magazines. If your pistol takes the Witness magazine #101900, you need the small-frame 9mm magazines. The small frame magazines are approximately 0.796” thick (side to side) and 1.25 long (front to back). The large frame magazines are approximately .843” thick (side to side) and 1.369 long (front to back). The large frame 9mm magazines have grooves down the sides of the magazine tube, and the small frame 9mm magazines are smooth on the sides. The EAA Witness 9mm small frame magazines used to hold 16 rounds; now both the EAA Witness 9mm small frame and large frame magazines hold 17 rounds. Neither the large nor the small frame .40 S&W magazine tubes have grooves on the sides of the magazine tubes. The small frame EAA Witness .40 S&W magazines hold 12 rounds, and the EAA Witness .40 S&W large frame magazines hold 14 rounds.
All the magazines are also offered in a magazine limited to 10 rounds.
Small Frames include all Witness PS, Witness Classics, and firearms produced in 9mm or 40 S&W before 2005.
