The P-10 C is a
striker-fired semi-automatic pistol with a mechanically and thermally stable polymer
frame reinforced with
glass fiber and three interchangeable backstraps. The pistol is a direct competitor to the
Glock 19. The guns have very similar characteristics but the Glock is about lighter, is about shorter and has a different grip angle.
Operation P-10's trigger system prevents the firearm from discharging unless the trigger is fully depressed, even if the pistol is dropped. Other safety features include a
firing pin block which mechanically obstructs the firing pin. This pistol does not feature a
magazine disconnect which would prevent it from being fired when the magazine is withdrawn.
Ergonomics The frame is made out of a fiber-reinforced polymer while the slide is made of steel. The slide and magazine releases are ambidextrous. The barrel is cold hammer-forged steel with a black nitride finish. The trigger guard is large to fit a variety of finger widths and to allow for shooting while wearing gloves. The trigger guard is undercut for a more ergonomic fit. Additional ergonomic features include three different backstrap sizes, stippling on all four sides of the grip and near the slide release, and a "deep saddle just underneath of the slide." The ergonomics of the P-10 C are similar to that of the
CZ 75 with a newly engineered trigger system to make it "more efficient and easier to handle."
Accessories A new P-10 C pistol from CZ comes in a lockable plastic case with a carrying handle, three backstraps, two 15-round magazines, a cable lock, cleaning brush and rod, and the owner's manual. The grips are polymer and come in three different sizes; they slide on a rail and a pin locks the grip to the frame. ==Variants==
