Picked up a used P10C, big disappointment

[Earl Keese]

Nice! How do all the lightening cuts affect felt recoil/flip? My brother in law's X Carry was considerably more snappy than his STD P320. I've read conflicting reports on what you get with a lightened slide. I just figured the benefit comes when you add the weight of an RDS. Muzzle flip isn't an issue for me, but I can tell a difference from one gun to another.

Tracks flat as all get out.

Here's my 2.0 4.25". Gun has just over 6K rounds on it as of now. Has never given me an issue one and it's a tack driver.

Nice! Who did the slide work? ........ j/k

Sorry to hear that the P10C didn't work out for you.  I just picked up a second one myself.  I did have issues with the trigger pinch but did not notice it on mine until I hit about the 800 round mark.  I put in an HBI trigger and it really didn't do much to get rid of the pinch until I filed the front fangs off of the HBI trigger.  It's feels perfect now.  Others must have found the same thing as the HBI trigger does not come with fangs any longer.

I don't know why, but the P10C seems to be the most naturally pointing gun for me outside of maybe a full size 1911.  Truth be told, it probably points better for me than the 1911 but being in love with the 1911 platform I just can't bring myself to say that directly. 

I used to know an old used car salesman and he had a knack for selling some real dogs.  I asked him one time how he sells some of the stuff nobody wants and his reply was that there's a butt for every seat.  You just need to get the right person to the car and it sells itself.  Guns are that way too I guess.  Not everything works for everyone, but there is something out there for everyone.

Excellent post.

I'm a big fan of the CZ firearms. But I would absolutely agree with you regarding the Caniks. I've been watching for the P-10C since it has been announced. However, these pistols sell like hot cakes around here so it's near impossible to get a feel for one before purchasing. I finally gave in and blindfoldedly ordered myself one. I would have to say that I'm happy with the overall built and quality of the firearm. Is the trigger good? Absolutely. But is it really as impressive as so many claim it to be? To be honest, no. I've shot a few Canik's and I found the Canik's to be a bit better. I own the TP9SF Elite myself. And when I compare the two triggers side by side, I could definitely feel the difference. Hands down I shoot better with the Elite. But this is only my opinion and what works for me may not work for you so take it for what it's worth.

I own a Sig P320 X-Carry and don't find it snappy at all. Excellent shooting gun in my opinion.

Welcome to the forum and glad you finally got a new P-10. The more you shoot it the more you'll like it.

Since the Caniks were mentioned favorably here, I rented the TP9SF at a local range last week to check them out. Accurate and nicely handling pistol.

However, I ran into a ?false reset? with the trigger on this particular pistol...there were two clicks needed for a complete reset. On the first click, pressing the trigger would release the firing pin but it would not fire (no indent on the primer). In order for it to fire, you had to let it go through both clicks on the trigger. Having used S&W 3rd generation DAO pistols, I realized that might be what was happening after a few times. I mentioned it to the store assistant when returning the pistol and he said that he would have their armorer look at it. Later, I did an internet search and saw there was some mention of this issue, probably caused by the trigger bar/firing pin block being out of spec. Still, a fine handling pistol for its class.

Never handled a Caniks but that trigger would be concerning to me.
