P07 vs P10C, What's Your Pick?

[Vinny]

Although my P-07 is my favorite and shoot it best...My CM9 Kahr ...yep striker fire, is almost right up there with it.  Here in Florida, I admit I carry it most of the time in the hot months but wear my P-07 inan Alien Gear holster when  I can.

Yeah, in hot climates The CM9 is easier to conceal or pocket holster.
Isn't the Kahr more of a Double-action? In that way it's more like your P-07 assuming you're 1st round is Double-action?

Vinny--The Kahr is a regular striker fired action but with a very long, very smooth, trigger pull.  Takes some getting used to, but it is great once you get over the "why hasn't this thing gone off yet" travel.  I quite liked it when I was carrying a Kahr PM-40 and PM/CM-9.  I even thought about buying a 4" Kahr at one time...before the P10's were released.  Really like the P-10 triggers with a few CGW parts and a 4 lb Glock striker spring.  Kahr's are gone.

Blueknight, between those two it is an easy choice for me with the P07, as I simply prefer a DAO (had mine converted by CZ Custom with a 6 1/2 lb trigger), with TDA behind that. I prefer how the P07 feels in my hand and how it carries IWB. In spite of them being nearly identical in size, to me it “feels” shorter and a bit slimmer in the grip than the P10 C, and I shoot it better. 

I have 2 P10Cs and 3 P07s and as much as I like the P10C, the P07 gets more holster time.  I’d have to agree regarding the size.  The P10C just feels bigger to me than the P07 does.  I too tend to wonder why I have any other carry guns after a day spent at the range with the P07.

I have a P10C and love it. Just today I had my new P07 OD Green delivered to my local gun shop. While they were doing the paperwork I got to fondle it and already know I'll enjoy it as well. Had to give it back which sucked while I go tomorrow to get the amendment on my permit and then wait for the judge to sign which hopefully won't be too long.

Sure am happy to live in Indiana where I can see a gun, buy it and be shooting within the hour after a clean and lube.

Thanks Joe for the clarification.
A few years back I had been considering a Kahr PM/CM9 for pocket carry, but couldn't find a local range to try one, so I got my 9mm SIG 290rs instead and it's a true DAO hammer-fired with 're-strike' capability. Not only is the trigger pull long apparently like the Kahr, the reset is also long and the trigger pull although smooth is 8- 9+ lbs.  Maybe akin to a S&W J-frame. It's a challenge to shoot well quickly, but it was what I wanted for a safe pocket carry.
I've since picked up a SIG P365 and it shoots circles around the SIG 290rs; but the trigger pull at 5-1/2lbs is a tad short and light to be floating around my pocket.

However, in another thread Armoredman hinted something like the P365 'might' be coming from CZ. He wouldn't say what and when, but only that "Good things come to those with patience" or something like that. Visions of a shorter, thinner, smaller 10-12 round version of the P-10s came to mind. Not to start rumors or anything like that.    lol

if you get a new czech p10c with the reversible mag release, you probably shouldn't have any problems.

i would choose and do carry the P07 appendix.  I require a hammer da/sa for appendix, and I need the larger trigger guard of the P07 because where I live, there are 4 distinct seasons, so I need a trigger guard that can handle warm gloves.

that being said, a P10 F sits on my dresser when i'm catching Z(s).

also, I like czech made P10C(s); cold hammer forged barrels and CIP stamped.

I had a P-07 and sold it earlier this year. Missed that gun so much I just bought another one last week. I also carry appendix and prefer a hammer gun for this.

Same thing here.  Sold my P07 in 2016 after a few months.  Missed it after going thru multiple firearms.  Bought a new P07 in 2020 and have not looked back.

Also, the P07 will fire just like a striker fired handgun if you just rack the slide on the first shot like you would do with any other striker fired gun.  The only time it would be DA is if you insert a magazine and pull the trigger without racking the gun.  THEN, you will have a long heavy trigger pull.  Basically the P07 is the best of both worlds IMHO. 

[Rittmeister]

For me, it is the P10C.  As much as I liked the P07, I had a tendency to sometimes pinch my pinky between the frontstrap and mag baseplate when inserting a mag.  My P10C doesn't do this (nor for that matter does my P01), so I moved the P07 on.  YMMV.

I wish CZ made the P07 grip about 1/8" longer, it would alleviate the problem.  While I'm at it, how about making the P09 upper compatible with the P07 lower, like you can do with some of the P10s?

[Scott65]

P10C. DA/SA goes to the P series Sig.

[lebomb]

I do not care for the Sig handgun grip angle.  To vertical for my taste. 

[timetofly]

 I own both a p-07 and a p-10c.  I shoot both equally well.  I just prefer hammer fired pistols.  But there is nothing wrong with the p-10c. I’ve fired thousands of rounds through it with mol zero gun problems.  The p-07, not as Many  rounds but zero gun related problems.  So in my opinion, it nis a user preference as to which one gets used.

Most of us wouldn't carry a striker-fired or hammer-fired pistol in a condition where we'd need to rack the slide before firing it, I don't think.  The way you get your P-07 to have a similar or better trigger pull to your P10 on the first shot is to carry cocked and locked with the manual safety installed.  Some people do that, but most of us carry with a round in the chamber and have the decocker installed with the hammer in the decock notch.  In that case, we generally install CGW parts to improve the DA trigger pull and practice the DA pull and DA/SA transition to overcome the difference.

I prefer the P-07 myself. Just never warmed up to the P-10C after having a pair.
