P10C failures

[jhc37013]

When the ammo is correct and the P10c is broken-in, it's a fabulous handgun. Give it a chance. Stick with the 115gr Blazer Brass, WWB, Fiocchi or similar. You'll see.


I had an extra hour yesterday and took mine to the range. Emptied about 200 rounds (all 124gr) on steel, and this one rapid fire onto paper from 35 feet...



The black bull on a TQ-2 is 2.3" in diameter.

Nice shooting and great advice on the 115gr Blazer Brass or Fiocchi for a new P10. Is that the Theta Trigger in your pic how does it feel to your finger?

I have my P10C and I like the shape of the OEM trigger but I prefer to feel a solid metal trigger. I've been tempted to order the Theta but hopeful I can come across someone at the range who has one in a CZ so I can try it first. I'm worried about trigger bite I've read some say they get that with the Theta and others no complaints.

No, it's an all-metal HBI. I bought the pistol about 10 months into production, right after they became widely available. Due to trigger pinch, I had to get rid of the OEM trigger right away... it was the one feature of the new gun that I couldn't stand. And the "pinch" was quite dramatic... and painful after 3 mags.

There's also the Cajun Gun Works version. At the time I ordered, HBI was the most prevalent option and had lots of reviews. The CGW had only been out several weeks and there were no reviews posted. I would have leaned toward the CGW, but I needed a definite "cure".

I never figured out if it was a pinch, slap or rub,  but the oem trigger would nearly give me a blister after a range session.  I sanded the seam on the frame below the trigger, eased the edges and carved the dingus down to sit flush with the trigger when depressed, but still no joy.  On the recommendation of several people here I ordered and installed the HBI trigger and poof! no more trigger bite.

  I had forgotten how bad it was until yesterday when I was at the range shooting my Sig, and that trigger was hurting my finger, reminding me of the P-10C trigger pain.

I've not had any pinch from CZ pistols but I did with a couple others like the Hellcat and a couple aftermarket Glock triggers.

For me the pinch came from just a small part of my finger was being squeezed (pinched) under the tip of trigger and the frame trigger guard. Took awhile to figure that out I assumed the dingus was the culprit but it was not.

The inside fleshly part of my trigger finger near the tip on the side nearest my middle finger was the area pinched, that fleshly part of finger was just the right size and shape to get squeezed under the trigger while firing, can't reproduce during dry fire only while live firing.

I believe because that part of the finger is so unique enough for each person and that's why the "pinch" is so random person to person.

An easy way to know if this is why you get pinched is to choke up really high on the trigger for a couple magazines, be sure you place your finger up as high as possible on the trigger so no chance your finger can get rolled under trigger between frame.

 I wish I could just look at a trigger shoe and tell whether or not it will pinch me but unfortunately it doesn't matter the shape or length of the trigger shoe it is just weird random. Luckily I rarely have that issue but I certainly feel for the gun owners that do.
