Suggested upgrades for CZ P10C

[Huckleberry88]

Just checking to see if you guys recomend any upgrades to the P10C. I'm wanting to use it as an EDC/home defense/range. Basically this is my all around gun that I want to train with and use for everything. I've already installed the cgw striker and I'm planning on putting an rmr on it as well as a light, either an xc1b or a tlr7. I also want to put a compensator on it, I'm thinking the primary arms comp the micro. Any suggestion of anything that will make this a more reliable EDC if appreciate. Also I wanted to put an aluminum back plate cover on from the CZ custom shop. I read in one forum and it's the only incident if I've seen or heard of where the stock polymer back plate cover shattered.

The CGW Striker (and T-cups while you’re in there) and sights that suit your vision. Night Fision offers a decent set.

The pistol requires nothing else - a good holster, solid belt and magazine carrier.

It out-Glocks Glock.

Any experience between the tlr7 and xc1b. I think for a holster I want to go with a T1C. I'm pretty happy with the sights so far, I have the tactical version.

I'm not saying don't do any upgrades...I like to customize my blasters too, but just ask yourself why before you do.

The P-10 is reliable out of the box. The cgw striker is a good upgrade, though.

I've never heard of a cover plate shattering before and am skeptical. Do you have a link to the thread?

A comp MAY make your gun LESS reliable, so don't just slap one on and think you're good.

IMHO, people make triggers out to be a bigger deal than they are, especially for defensive use. That being said, I found the stock trigger to be very good, just uncomfortable in that I'd get a blister on my finger somewhere between 50-100 rounds during practice. I installed an HBI with the stock springs and it doesn't bite me as bad anymore.

Good sights are critical, even with an RMR.

Beyond that, the best upgrades you can make are not hardware, but software. Get training and practice. I'm guilty of chasing the shiny new thing as much as the next guy, but trying to force myself to shift my budget to 80% training and 20% toys...just after I buy this one last thing... [emoji14]

I'm good with the trigger and I'm trying to not mess with the internals very much besides the striker, but if I did mess with the trigger I would do what you did and just change the actual trigger. I'll look for that link and like I said it's the first and only time I've seen that. And most of the time when I do ask myself why it's just because lol. I know I don't need most of it and the rmr will probably be the last to go on. I haven't heard anything about having to change any springs with the primary machines comps.

Suggested is an upgrade from the stock trigger.  Everything after that is less critical.  However, I'm also going the red-dot route, so ...

Like you, this will be my EDC.  Did the internals polish (https://czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=94372.msg817976#msg817976).  Decided on the HBI gold and black trigger (sold by CZ Custom).  Went from a grindy long-take-up trigger to one that's smooth up to the wall, a tad lighter crisp break, and with a fantastic reset.  As I've had great success with Holosun sights, I decided on the HE507C green-dot that just came out.  Going with Earl An's suggestion of a Dawson night front (.275) and Ameriglo rear (.360).  Keeping with the black and gold theme and after watching Primary Machine's video where they demonstrated the improved accuracy of their barrel over stock, bought the gold TiN precision barrel.  As my gun is now at CGW's getting milled for my green-dot, will probably go with their new competition striker.

For my light, I went with the Olight Mini-2 Valkyrie.  Had a difficult time finding a holster.  Ultimately, went with MTR Custom Leather, the same shop that did such a fantastic job on my SP-01 holster.  Might have gone with a different solution if I could carry appendix.  I can't pull it off.

Really looking forward to training!

I say before you do much of anything to the gun you want to confirm the reliability/function/POI with desired carry ammo etc ! Get the holster you are gonna use and training ammo similar in weight and velocity to your carry ammo and shoot the darn gun! And when I say shoot the gun I mean A LOT,, LOL minimum 500/600 rds, I personally will but 1K through any NEW gun I buy and then it will be considered good for EDC ! Upgrades are nice but the more you mess with the "original" Factory configuration the more chances you have of creating a problem that didn't exist before. I personally do not own a P10, maybe someday, these are just my thoughts and ideas, for what its worth. Keep us posted on how ya make out !

Completely agree with getting practice in. I had 500+ rounds through the first P10c I had. Then I had to send it in for warranty which was taken care of promptly and they sent me a new P10c. I took it to the range and had an issue with the slide stop spring popping out. I got that fixed by bending it towards the frame and down a bit, works fine now. They also sent me another slide stop spring in case bending it didn't work. I think now I just want to get it set up to be reliable which is why I put in the striker, but I also shoot it quite a lot and while I admit they aren't needed I do want to put some stuff on this gun. I haven't heard any thing bad about the primary machines micro comp, and I want to put a decent light as this is my beside and EDC and car gun pretty much this is going to be the gun I become most familiar with and train exclusively with this platform. The rmr will probably be the last thing I do since it is a lot of money to have the slide milled and I want to make sure that this is the gun I will be using for years to come before I invest that much into it. So I guess a good sed of sights could be a worthy upgrade next. Thanks for the insight guys.

I need somebody to take me to school on how to pick the proper height sights and what are considered an all around good set of sights. I know I can do my own research and will but what are some good set ups. I also know someone made a recommendation earlier in this same thread but was wanting to hear others opinions as well.

[Huckleberry88]

Oh and here is the link to the back plate issue I saw. The only thing I noticed Wich makes me want to upgrade the back plate is that some other guns come with a reinforced back plate. I just feel like it's a cheap but of insurance.

Also I've been shooting the Hornady critical defense and I have plenty of 115gr ammo to train with.

Well good, it does sound like your on the right path! Ya really can't go wrong with the Hornady ammo,,, great stuff. On the sights, Dawson is great and they give you options for of different height of the front sights so you can adjust the POI. Now as good as the Dawson are and I played around with a few different front sights once I put a set of Night Fison on my 07 everything came together and POA/POI were just where I wanted them! I guess in the long run if your really gonna do an RMR I say go with the less expensive Dawsons, especially if your gonna mill the slide, I went way overboard and spend too much $$$ cuz I bought another slide and then had that one milled so I could keep my original,that's up to you if you want to go that route but for me I'm glad I did it that way. I have an RMR on my 07 now and its the bomb for sure, well worth it in my eyes! Also when it comes to finding the correct height front sight Dawson has a great formula on there website,if you look around you will find it ! Anyways keep shootin and running the gun & you will be fine!

Do any of y'all have experience between the night fusion and the xs dxt2 or xs f8. Night fusion has a similar setup to the f8 with the accur8. Are the xs sights worth the premium price tag.

[aflevine]

XS makes great tactical night sights.  I've used them for the past thee years on my G26.  If I weren't going the red-dot route, I'd certainly consider them again, though there's some serious competition.

Can't speak for the XS sights but have the Nite Fison installed on one of my 07 slides and they are great sights! Now as my 2 cents worth goes, any nite sights are great for "seeing" your sights, but remember even the brightest sights will not help you see what your shooting at, that's why they make flashlights!    If you're using your gun at night/in low light you should always have illumination of some sort. Just my thoughts on the subject. Most importantly get the sights that help you hit where your aiming during the day and then work on the night/low light training.
