P-10C Heavy Mag Release Fix - Updated with Glock spring

[Earl Keese]

As I have posted before my magazine release works just fine after a brief break-in period. Not sure what all the fuss is about. Everyone needs to step back, take a deep breath and put some more lead down range.

Your perfect gun is a sample of one. Just because yours is perfect, that doesn't mean other people don't have a legitimate issue. Repeatedly posting about your perfect gun serves little purpose.

Everyone's gun is a sample of one. There is no need to crawl all over each other as if only one of you is correct.

Cremaley, your reply was out of character for this place and, so, was deleted. Consider this a friendly reminder. Let's not let that happen again, k?

Polished said parts last night. It has made SOME difference.


If I had extra springs and parts I'd like to snip a coil as well as modify the geometry.

As it stands it's "okay". I wish they used paddles like H&K did.

Have you checked the magazine release spring isn't bent? That's what was wrong with mine and pressing the release button felt like it was binding up. Out of several p10 I've handled, a lot of them felt exactly like mine. CZ installed a new spring and it's fine now.

I only have 300 rounds thru my P-10 C and my slide lock has loosened up nicely. It was very, very difficult to release at first. Now no problem.

I did polish up the mag release when I first got it and it works great.

The only issue I've had so far is a one time failure to lock the slide back after emptying a magazine (user error likely). I've only shot relatively cheap ammo, 4 different brands, including steel casing. Eats it all.

Just an FYI, with the optics ready guns on the horizon, CZ did take feedback from first gen owners and changed the mag release going forward. It's no longer ambidextrous but it is swappable. They say it's a geometry change but I'm pretty sure it's more than that if you lose ambi. Anyway, thought anyone coming across this thread in the future would like to know this won't be an issue for the OR guns made in the US.

Well the magazines are the issue. I was thinking about buying a new p10 but my old p10 mags won't work with it.
Bad decision by CZ.

For me it was a toss up between the Sig and the CZ P-10C. Purchased the CZ, magazine release was very hard with full mag and even empty mag. Sent back to the factory twice for correction. Second time a note indicating that it was checked by more than one gun smith and corrected. Still hard to release, not satisfied with fix and not satisfied with the recommendation to use a Glock Spring especially if it was a design defect (my opinion). If the fix is a Glock spring than I would expect a CZ fix free of charge. Will be looking at other manufacturer options for trade.

How?s your trigger and post a photo of your factory target.

On my P10c it's the mag itself.

When I got the gun I loaded one mag with SD ammo and it sits in my safe that way. The other mag has been used to shoot 1000's of rounds at my home range.

When I first read this thread, I went back and tried both mags. The mag that's only been inserted 3 times is very hard to release, and the feel of the release action is very rough. It almost takes 2 hands. The commonly used range mag is butter smooth.


That's all I know.
