The aggressive texture of the CZ P10C's grip

First announced back in December 2016, the CZ P10C semi-automatic pistol has been finally showcased to the public at the 2017 SHOT Show in Las Vegas; the latest entry in the Czech company's line of semi-automatic handguns for personal defense, home protection, target shooting, training, and service issue purposes is a polymer frame design that also marks CZ's return to striker-fired operation after the abortive (albeit technically sound) CZ-100 of the late 1990s.

Much in the line of the P-07, CZ's P10C is ergonomically shaped to fit any shooter's hand thanks to the CZ typical grip angle, a mild palm swell, a deep beavertail, three interchangeable backstraps, an aggressive slip-proof grip texture, and a slim grip profile thanks to the use of sheet metal magazines holding up to 16 rounds of 9mm or 14 rounds of .40 caliber ammunition.

The striker-fired CZ P10C comes with three-dot dovetailed sights

In terms of overall and barrel length, the CZ P10C is akin to, to say, a Glock 19, allowing comfortable open or concealed carry. The 4-4.½ lbs trigger rebounds with a short and positive reset, eliminating the creep and stacking of so many striker-fired pistols and allowing single shots can be meticulously placed while follow-ups are effortless.

Built to withstand the rigors of military use, the fiber-reinforced polymer frame and hardy nitride finish of the CZ P10C 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
