P07 vs P10C, What's Your Pick?

[Blueknight]

I just picked a P07 last week but I notice that here most of the talk is about the P10c or the different variations.  I don't know much about that model yet but I would like to hear some details and comparisons between the two.

P10 teething problems, accuracy, reliability, trigger...etc.

Also, is the P10 a fully cocked striker or is it like a Glock?

So what's your preference and why?

Thanks

I have both the P07 and P10C.

The newer P10C’s don’t have any issues I’m aware of. I have the FDE with Night Sights and ambi mag release that’s somewhat stiff to operate.
The newer P10’s have a reversible mag release.
As far if the striker is fully or partially cocked I have no idea. As long as it functions when the trigger is doesn’t matter to me what percentage the striker is or is not cocked.

Both the 07 and 10C are great to shoot and carry. Both have functioned 100% for me after 900 rounds or more between the two.

Don't doubt nor complicate your choice. P07 and P10C are incomparable handguns from CZ.
The major difference between the two are hammer vs striker.
So pick your poison and enjoy it, that's that simple.

Why incomparable? 

Firing mechanics aside, they're both approximately the same size and probably designed to fill the same role.

He's right they are basically incomparable from the mechanical aspect that's enough. A 3-4 inch K frame revolver is also similar in size but that is where it ends. Mastering the DA first shot as with the P-07 is something that many don't like or are unwilling to practice so they opt for the striker fired platform like the P10 with it's consistent/same trigger pull from first shot to last.
A more fair comparison would be the P-07 vs a Sig P2022 or some other similar in size compact hammer fired pistol and then the P10 vs a glock 19 or a Walther PPQ.
My personal preference is the P-07 as I have less than zero use for striker fired guns.

All true.  I don't know why people want to compare head to head, and I don't know why they are on the same site.  Makes no sense.  Can we 'get separated' please?


Maybe they should name the site, "Guns that take P10 mags", LOL.

[Blueknight]

Seems like a bit of angst over the comparison...

RE shared mags....that's good

I agree with this, with all due respect to the original question.  Nothing wrong with asking what you did.  I think it all boils down to striker versus hammer fired DA/SA.  I too have no use for a striker fired gun.  BUT, in all fairness, I don't have much time on one. 

I love my hammer fired DA/SA guns and run them with the de-cocker.  My absolute favorite is my P-09, as a range toy and night stand gun.  For concealed carry or hiking, the P-07 fills the need better for me.

IMO, there's a big difference in asking which you like vs what's best.  My post wasn't about that, just which you like and why?

FWIW, I'm still hoping to hear whether the P10 series uses a fully cocked striker.

Thanks

I own both.  Ive competed with both.   I've carried both.     In a gun fight, I'd rather have the 10c.  For a match or as a range gun, I prefer the P07.  I prefer both to a Glock.  I prefer an M&P 2.0 Compact to either.  Trigger and ergonomics are better.  That said, I'm carrying to 10c.  SW didnt have on optics ready version yet.

I've always favored hammer fired, but I bought a P-10C when they first came out just to see if I could warm up to a striker fired pistol, after years with the P-07 and P-09.  The only type of striker fired pistols I had had prior were Kahr PM-9 and PM-40, both of which I liked and shot well.  But, they were too small for a range gun.  I struggled with the P-10C but eventually warmed up to it, and decided to try the Optics Ready P-10F when it became available.   With CGW strikers and triggers, and Glock striker springs and locks, plus some Sugru on the grips, the P-10C and F guns are great shooters with fantastic triggers.  Do I still prefer a hammer gun, yes.  Do I see why so many people like striker guns now?  Yes.  Do I think striker guns can be shot as well as a hammer gun?  Absolutely.  Will I ever win a bullseye match with a P-10F?  We'll see.  If I don't, it will be the shooter, not the gun.  I've won one match with a P-07, and many with a P-09, so it is possible to win a bullseye match with a light 9mm polymer pistol.   It is easier (for me) to win a match on a windy day with a heavy, soft shooting, CGW CZ-97B"E", however.

Does it make a difference if it’s a fully cocked striker?  The P10 has in my opinion a great out of the box trigger.

To some it does.

My 2cents......If you're going to use multiple guns for SD...Pick ONE manual of arms: SA cocked and locked, DA/SA 1st round DA, or striker-fired; but don't mix 'em.

Yeah, I know plenty of guys do, but I subscribe to the K.I.S.S. for pressure situations.  -JMO
