Consensus on CZ P10 series

[ECK]

Funny that the OP mentioned pinching his finger from his G26 bc as I type this I have a blood blister on the palm of my hand from reloading my P10C recently at an IDPA match.

I’ve had my P10C since late 2017, so it’s a Gen 1.5 or thereabouts. It didn’t have the striker plate hang-up issue that was present in some of the original Gen 1’s, but even so I installed a part from CGW that added a small rod from the striker to the striker plate to keep it from rotating and preventing the slide from going back into battery. I also replaced the striker with the tool steel one from CGW bc I’ve had MIM parts break (kept the OEM one as a backup in my parts kit). Also dropped in a HBi trigger and the lightened striker springs but after a few thousand rounds started to get lite strikes so went back to the OEM striker spring.

The P10C was also my first gun I added a red dot. This is pre-OR models being released so I had Jagerwerks mill it for an RMR and BUIS in front of the optic. Fun gun, shot it in USPSA CO division for about 6 months before going to the Shadow 2 as a dedicated comp gun, but carried it as my EDC for a while and also shot it in IDPA. Have about 7K rnds on it as of last counting.

As mentioned above, my palm overhangs the bottom of the grip a little and sometimes when I do a hasty reload I pinch the bottom of my palm between the mag and magwell.

Another issue I had was when using P10F mag (for higher capacity) it is possible to over insert the mag when the slide was locked back and hit the ejector. After a while the ejector got bent enough that it was hard to re-assemble the slide. So I replaced the sear cage housing which contains the ejector with the OEM part -easy enough to do. I don’t think it is possible to over-insert a standard P10C mag because of the way the basepads overhang the grip, but if you try to run P10F mags in a P10C (or P10C mags in a P10S) be warned that over-insertion is a possibility.

It’s a fun gun, one I don’t see a reason to get rid of. That said, when I got the 365XL that gun became my go-to EDC gun and I shoot the smaller 356XL just as well as the larger P10C. Capacity of 12+1 w/ a 15 rnd spare mag is good enough for me. And oddly enough, I’ve never pinched my palm doing a reload with the 365XL, despite it having a significantly shorter grip than the P10C.

Well I'm a happy camper, Santa was good to me with this P-10F

I really hope the new CZ striker gun isn’t fully tensioned… That uncertainty would make me grab a p10 now, just in case.

Likewise for me. With the Danforth Designs SCD soon coming to market, it resolves the only issue keeping me from carrying my P-10C AIWB. I would seriously consider trading in my G26 for a P-10S.

My P-10 C was manufactured sometime in 2018. Does anyone know if that would be a Gen1 or Gen2?

I picked up a P10C for $380 from grabagun.com last week. Seems like an helluva deal for this quality of firearm. Apparently I should have waited a few days because they are now down to $330. P10F is selling for $340 on the same website

I’m a little concerned about how low these prices are. I wonder if CZ is looking to discontinue these? I saw the video of their CEO saying they would be revamping the pistol. Hopefully that’s all it is.

I scored a P-10C on Black Friday for <$350, and took the plunge mostly on the hope that the Striker Control Device works out. Haven’t had a chance to shoot it yet, just cleaned and dry fired it a few times but it seems like a quality piece.

I figure the new low prices are a wise strategy for increasing market share. How much does it actually cost to make a striker fired pistol, eighty bucks? Take less profit per unit to sell more units seems like a good idea to me, especially when competing against Glock and their massive market share.

A P10C followed me home today from the LGS.

This is a bad place to hang out when the gun buying fever strikes.

Happened today- not mine - round count is about 10k with appropriate recoil spring changes.

Update on my decision...

So what complicated things was that my GSSF coupon came in and I figured "Maybe I should go wade back into the Glock 26 waters..." By chance, I stopped into a pawn shop and saw an unpriced P10S.

"How much for the CZ?"
"Mmmmmmm... $250"

I didn't question it, I told the guy sold, I want it. As I was waiting for him to draw up paperwork, low and behold there was a used M&P 1.0 Subcompact looking a little lonely and in need of cleaning.

"How much for the M&P?"
"$250 as well. If you take both, $400"

The P10S was new in box. I replaced all the springs in the M&P and will be doing a side by side comparison at the range when my vacation starts. For less than the cost of a blue label 26, I took home these beauties.

I'm curious how the CZ shoots in a striker fired flavor as opposed to a hammer.
