You can open up the top of the mag channel in the grip of a pre-B pretty easily with a flat file, and then the mag compatibility issue goes away. I've talked with several who have done it, but haven't had a pre-B, myself, since I learned of the trick. I don't know if the instructions are on this forum, but you CAN find them elsewhere. They are probably on the CZ Forum.

I had the Waffle Grips on a couple of pre-Bs, but never found them all that desirable. I sold them, in both cases, to someone who wanted to make their CZs more "authentic."

There are too many variations in parts, etc. in the pre-Bs, over time, and I no longer have any. Except for the very late pre-Bs, there are too many minor differences between the pre-Bs and B for my taste -- things like different hammer widths, firing in sizes, barrel contours, firing pin variations, etc. Parts for the safeties on the oldest models are getting hard to find. I just stick to current CZs and have some trigger work done.

As noted, a "Retro" with an "action" job would be the best of both worlds.
