The ergonomics are the same at the CZ 75 \u2014 so much so, the stocks are interchangeable. The pistol utilizes the P09\/P10 magazines, making additional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/parts-and-accessories\/magazines\/?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=first-look-dan-wesson-dwx-9mm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">magazines<\/a> readily available and inexpensive.
