The P10C is the best pistol for the money period

They don't feel great, and the triggers aren't particularly wonderful either. Finally, these guys simply don't seem to sell particularly well, so if they're the best pistol for the money, they're also the best kept secret on the market.

Not sure it's love so much as the only "cheaper than Glock" option that exists that isn't a disaster waiting to happen.

I added a set of Talon Grips so now my grip is extremely comfortable and fits like a glove. I would bet the harsh factory grip could be one reason they don’t sell well.

The trigger is much better than any factory Glock to me including gen 5. CZ and most gun rags hyped the trigger as excellent which is a stretch. So I can see people being disappointed when they dry fire one.

I’m not sure about blem frequency so to anybody buying one I would handle one first to be sure.

The biggest issue I have with CZ is they are bad about dropping support for their newer product lines. I got bit by that badly on the 805 Bren years ago and more recently the previous gen CZ Scorpion. I saw a recent YouTube video with James from TFB interviewing the CZ president and he said there’s a successor to the P10 coming out soon and support on the current p10 would last two more years after that. Depending on how significant the changes, I may buy a few spare parts and keep it as a backup gun.

Other than the takedown bar and the bottom accessory rail, there isn’t much similar to Glock. No more than most other striker fired pistols. An annoying thing is to replace the trigger, one needs to drive out three stubborn frame roll pins. CZ reminds me of HK and how they over-engineer and make designs so dissimilar from everything else.

The size of the p10c is similar to a G19 with a slightly longer grip. They will fit some G19 holsters but not all.

ETA
The p10 bore axis is fairly low so they shoot flat like a Glock.

I have thoroughly enjoyed shooting every CZ product I have tried; Shadow 2, TSO, Rami, CZ75, P10, P07. One day I may get one in my carry rotation.

Also if I didn’t already own a p10c I would absolutely jump on the chance to buy one at the lower prices they’re going for today. Even if it ends up being a backup gun sooner than later.

I bought a CZ P10 C from PSA about 8 months ago when they were selling the model with the rmr cut and suppressor sights for a little under $400. I have only shot it once, but did add an aftermarket enlarged slide release, as the stock release was way too small and difficult to use. Shot well for me.

The armory at work has one that they got for T&E. It has been thoroughly abused and run hard. It probably has close to 10k rounds through it without cleaning and literally gets thrown across the parking lot. It will still make hits at 50 yards on demand (longest Ive ever shot it). Great gun and I have no logical reason why I haven't purchased one yet.

A better option IMO is do what I did. I took 600 grit sandpaper and lightly went over the grips at different angles. I left the front and back nearly factory for the grip 'bite' while shooting but the sanding GREATLY helped with the comfort.

I have those in both of mine, with their trigger. I just look at it as insurance (the steel striker).
MIM seems to work if it’s executed properly, but I’ve seen some shit sears/disconnectors in newer Colt/SA 1911’s.
I would not use those on a duty/carry gun.

Oh, I did stone engagement surface on Strikers, mine (early versions) showed tooling marks.
