They do in my Shadow.
I copied this info from somewhere so cannot give credit to whoever compiled it:
=====================
CZ75 magazine and clone compatibility chart
1. Pre-series 88 frame Tanfoglio/FIE/EXCAM (TA90) pistols CAN use CZ75 magazines and vise versa.
2. CZ97B uses the same magazines as the full-size .45 Witness. They are not identical to Tanfoglio OEM magazines, but they fit and function.
3. Jericho 941, Baby Eagle, Tanfoglio TZ75 Series 88 and later, FIE/EXCAM TA90, and Springfield P9 all Interchange .
4. Baby Eagle mags WORK in CZ-85 Combats and in 75Bs, but will NOT work in a pre-B CZ75.
5. CZ75 factory 15 round mags (9mm) fit in Sphinx AT2000 Police Specials, but CZ mags do NOT lock the slide open.
6. Action Arms AT-84 magazines WORK in Pre-B CZ75’s, but NOT vice versa. CZ75 Mec-Gar(16 rd) magazines WORK in the AT-84. Tanfoglio magazines Work in the AT-84.
7. Israeli (IMI) made CZ75 magazines WORK in pre-series 88 TZ75’s
8. CZ75 factory 9mm 10/15 rd mags will NOT work in an Baby Eagle, NOR will CZ75B .40 mags work in a Baby Eagle .40
9. The Tanfoglio 18 rd 9mm magazines made for the Large Frame .45/10mm/.38 Super Witness pistols will NOT fit Small frame Witness/Baby Eagle pistols.
10. BTA 90 88 series WORKS with Mec-Gar compact Witness/Baby Eagle magazines.
11. CZ SP01 19 rd mags Work in Jericho 941/Baby Eagles.
This information was gathered from various internet sites and some of my own experinces . I do not garantee all the information to be correct. It is always best to have the pistol in hand and check for proper fit before buying magazines .
I hope this helps .
===================
Some do, some don't. I have six Tanfoglio mags. Half of them work fine in my Shadow but half don't. The ones that do sometimes drag when I rack the slide. I think the problem lies with the mag release cut on the mags. They aren't exactly the same. I now just use the Tanfoglio mag for a "Barney" mag and stick to CZ mags for the Shadow/CZ 85 & SP-01.
I know of two shooters who have had no problems with the Tan mags in their Shadows. Go figure.
