CZ P-10 C

The P-10 C is the first partially precocked, striker-fired pistol manufactured by CZ.{{cite web |title=Tested: CZ P-10 C Pistol |url=https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2017/10/6/tested-cz-p-10-c-pistol/ |website=American Rifleman |publisher=National Rifle Association of America |accessdate=11 October 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171107022649/https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2017/10/6/tested-cz-p-10-c-pistol/ |archive-date=2017-11-07 |url-status=live }} The C in the name stands for compact.{{cite web |title=Review: CZ-USA P-10C |url=http://www.handgunsmag.com/editorial/review-cz-usa-p-10c/137709 |website=Guns & Ammo Handguns |date=27 December 2017 |publisher=Outdoor Sportsman Group |accessdate=11 October 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181012054002/http://www.handgunsmag.com/editorial/review-cz-usa-p-10c/137709 |archive-date=2018-10-12 |url-status=live }}

The P-10 C is a striker-fired semi-automatic pistol. This type of 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 This pistol does not feature a magazine disconnect which prevents it from being fired when the magazine is withdrawn.{{cite web |title=CZ P-10 Compact 9mm [FIREARM REVIEW] |url=https://www.usacarry.com/cz-p-10-compact-9mm-review/ |website=USA Carry |date=11 July 2017 |publisher=i156 Enterprises Inc. |accessdate=11 October 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181012054044/https://www.usacarry.com/cz-p-10-compact-9mm-review/ |archive-date=2018-10-12 |url-status=live }}

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 pistol sights are iron with a three-dot system that become night sights after being exposed to light. Magazines are backward compatible with the CZ P-07, but not vice versa.{{cite web |url = http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2016/12/jeremy-s/gun-review-cz-p-10-c/ |title = Gun Review: CZ P-10 C |first = Jeremy |last = S |date = 15 December 2016 |access-date = 2018-01-03|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20171211032126/http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2016/12/jeremy-s/gun-review-cz-p-10-c/ |archive-date = 2017-12-11 |url-status = live}}

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.{{cite web |title=CZ P-10C : First Look |url=https://loadoutroom.com/thearmsguide/czp-10c-first-look/ |website=Loadout Room |publisher=Hurricane Group, Inc. |accessdate=13 October 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181014130026/https://loadoutroom.com/thearmsguide/czp-10c-first-look/ |archive-date=2018-10-14 |url-status=live }} 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 P-10 C factory trigger has a short reset which is tactile and audible. The trigger press is rated at {{convert|4.5|lb-f|N|1|lk=on|abbr=on}}.

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."{{cite web |title=Review: CZ-USA P-10 C Pistol |url=https://www.shootingillustrated.com/articles/2017/11/27/review-cz-usa-p-10-c-pistol/ |website=Shooting Illustrated |publisher=National Rifle Association of America |accessdate=11 October 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181012053908/https://www.shootingillustrated.com/articles/2017/11/27/review-cz-usa-p-10-c-pistol/ |archive-date=2018-10-12 |url-status=live }}

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.{{cite web |title=Gun Review: CZ P-10 C |url=https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2016/12/jeremy-s/gun-review-cz-p-10-c/ |website=The Truth About Guns |date=15 December 2016 |publisher=thetruthaboutguns.com |accessdate=11 October 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181012014600/https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2016/12/jeremy-s/gun-review-cz-p-10-c/ |archive-date=2018-10-12 |url-status=live }}

On Optics Ready (OR) models, the slide comes with a plate to cover the milling if no optics are added. The rear sights and viewfinder were updated for better shooting accuracy, and the originally ambidextrous magazine release buttons have been replaced by one larger button that with the help of tools can be reversed.{{cite web |title=La Cz P-10 C si evolve |url=https://www.armietiro.it/cz-p-10-c-optics-ready-or-10100 |website=Armi e Tiro |date=12 September 2018 |publisher=Edisport Editoriale Srl |accessdate=12 October 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181012054111/https://www.armietiro.it/cz-p-10-c-optics-ready-or-10100 |archive-date=2018-10-12 |url-status=live }}
