New model qsz92 cf98 norinco 9mm video

I always wanted to try a rotating barrel type pistol, and these caught my eye previously, but leary because only Marstar had them, and the triggers are notoriously long in D/A and crappy too. Then a bunch of years ago Dlask was blowing out GP K100's for $325 so I grabbed one of those, scratched the itch, ok pistol, accurate with a good trigger, the rotating lock up I couldn't tell any difference in feel when shooting, novelty at best.

So I got mine too. But apparently the magazine of new model doesn't fit the old CF98. Someone replied under your video saying the new mag would fit if you get rid of the thick bottom pad. I tried... I think it's probably not the case. Any idea?
So I purchased some of the new magazines, as people have said they will work in the older models, and well... they will, with modification.
Here is an album with some details about the older model, along with some stuff I just added for the newer magazines https://imgur.com/a/zc3yX6p
As tempting as it is for me to just bend the little leg on the slide lock lever, that would screw up more than it would fix.
The best way I can think would be to either shim/modify the follower in the magazine so that the spring pressure is extremely biased to tilt the follower towards the slide lock lever, so it always engages.
I'm 1000% open to ideas on how to do this, I shoot this handgun the best (for whatever reason) and I like how unique it is, I just want to have more magazines and not have to break too many things to get them.
Thanks! I hope this helps other people too.
Any idea where to find the adapter rail?

...and when the Chinese arrive, because Trudeau runs out of money and borrows from his PRC buddies and they want their money back, you're already set up! One of these and a T 97, and you're rocking.
I bought a Norico N34 for $269 (Tenda) about six months ago. Two buddies did the same. Well made gun that shoots well. A good "loaner".
I also ordered one of these CF-98s, for comparison. I will compare it to the NP-34.
Edit: CF-98 arrived today. Less than a week from order to my mailbox. Outstanding for Ontario.
My pistol has a long DA trigger pull that stacks up at the end of the travel. Takes some effort to fire it. The SA first pull is about 3 pounds. After the reset, it is about 2 pounds. Very light.
The grips are smaller than most pistols. Anyone with an average or smaller hand will like this pistol.
The magazine it tapered and feeds from one position. The mag hold 10 rounds-barely. The last round is tight to load. I like a mag to hold 10 1/2 rounds, so that it is easy to load and easy to insert with the slide closed. This is very easy to adjust. The plastic follower has a long leg out the bottom. By filing 1/10th of an inch off the bottom, the last round will load easily.
I will test it and some other 9mms tomorrow with 3 or 4 different ammo loadings.
So far it looks like a real good $269 pistol.

I took my new CF-98 to the range today. I shot it with 4 different loads: 135 gr lead DRG over 4.0 gr Power Pistol, 124 Campro HP over 4.1gr of 231 and the Campro 147 with 3.6 and 3.9 gr of 231. I figured that if the gun was any good, one of those loads would produce a decent group.
I shot 2 hands at 25 yards. Every round fed, fired, extracted and ejected from every pistol. No issues. The only prep on the new SF-98 was a field strip to wipe off all the oil it was shipped with and then a re-lube with CLP.
A group all by itself is not as informative as having the same ammo also shot in other pistols – so I shot 4 other pistols: A Norinco NP29 (1911), a Canik TP9SA (which I just bought and wanted to try out), a S&W MP9 with an Apex trigger and a Norinco NP34 (SIG 228 clone).
Triggers: All 5 pistols have excellent triggers. I would not hesitate to shoot a Service Pistol or IPSIC match with any of them. The MP9 would have had the worst trigger, except the Apex made it the best of the bunch.
Sights: The MP9 shot very low or high when I got it, so I switched out the factory front sight with a narrow Dawson fibre optic sight of the correct height. This pistol has the best sights. The others are still factory original. The Canik is shooting very low. A few licks of a file on the front sight will cure that. I have old eyes, so I like a wide rear sight so I can see lots of light on either side of the front sight. The factory SF98, the NP34 and the Canik are all too narrow in the rear notch for me. I have a square needle file I use to open rear sights.
Groups: The 1911, the SF-98 and the Canik shot most of the different loads well. Each shot 3 of the 4 very well. The S&W shot the hot load with the 147 Campro very well, and puked the other loads. I now have a new load to explore with this pistol. The Norinco NP-34 is an interesting pistol. I bought it a couple months ago because at $269 (Tenda) I could not say no. It shot all 4 loads “Fair”. I think I have found some other loads that work “Good”. The pistol is well made, well finished and shoots far better than the price justifies.
The SF-98: Well worth the $269. After I open the rear sight notch a bit, I will really enjoy shooting it. The trigger is very light, and once I get used to it, results will improve. The feel is different because it is light and has no wall. It starts to move and then fires. The smaller grip size will make it very popular with some shooters with smaller hands.
