Many years in the making, we’re pleased to announce the latest
addition to the CZ line of handguns — the P-10 C. Much more than just
our take on the striker-fired pistol, the P-10 is decidedly CZ, from the
way it feels to the way it shoots.
First order of business,
ergonomics. Anyone who’s picked up a CZ 75 for the first time gets it —
it just has to feel right in the hand. With the CZ grip angle, the P-10
avoids that ‘brick-in-the-hand’ feeling that has plagued many in the
striker-fired genre, allowing it to point naturally. A mild palm swell,
deep beavertail and three interchangeable backstraps make the P-10 fit a
wide variety of hands as if it were built for them. Because it was.
Next
up, trigger. So many striker-fired pistols do many things right,
falling short when it comes time to pull the trigger. The P-10’s trigger
is designed to minimize creep and stacking, and after initial break-in
averages a clean 4.5-5 lb pull and rebounds with a short, positive reset
— meaning single shots can be meticulously placed while follow-ups are
effortless.
Built to withstand the rigors of military use, its
fiber-reinforced polymer frame and hardy nitride finish are made for the
daily grind. A generous trigger guard allows use with gloved hands
while being undercut to allow as high a grip as possible, and a set of
metal tactical 3-dot sights allow for one-handed manipulation of the
slide on a belt.
Like all CZ pistols, the P-10 is built with our
legendary cold hammer forged barrel. The ‘C’ in the name indicates that
it is compact in both frame and slide size, and magazines are of the
same family as the hammer-fired P-07, meaning the P-10 C holds 15+1 in
9mm in a flush-fitting mag with extended bases allowing 17+1. Take-down
of the P-10 will be familiar to most fans of striker-fired guns, and
even more pleasing will be holster compatibility with some of the most
common guns on the market.
It may have taken a while to come to
market, but we feel the wait has been worth it. With CZ reliability,
engineered ergonomics and a bevy of features both familiar and new, the
P-10 is the complete package.
