P-10 and Gloves

[Wobbly]

I was out in 36?F weather today and decided to wear some very lightweight Thinsulate leather gloves while shooting some strings with my new P-10. One thing I noticed immediately was that even as thin as the gloves were, I had a lot of trouble disengaging the trigger safety.

Not saying this is an across-the-board issue, but if you intend to carry the P-10 and wear gloves, then you might want to try that combination out before depending upon it.

Just saying.

I had a lot of trouble disengaging the trigger safety.

I wasn't aware that the P-10C, being a striker-fired variant, had a trigger safety?  You must be talking about the "glock-like" tab that acts as a somewhat trigger safety, in that it needs to be depressed before it'll go bang.

So this is how CZ describes its P10C safety on their site:

"Product Name CZ P-10 C 9mm
SKU 91520
MSRP $499
Chambering 9mm Luger

So trigger safety it is.

Right.  It's called a trigger safety.  Glock also calls it a trigger safety.

Is dingus.

Is dingus. 

I almost posted that, but I didn?t want to get into the technical terminology.

You always have to test your gear out.  I was out at rifle quals today and it was 11 when we started shooting.  Red dot batteries that were fine in the 70 degree sub station crap out during the course of fire.  People with gloves limp wrist, bump the slide release and jerk the trigger worse.  Even with gloves you have to watch that trigger finger placement on the face of the trigger.  You start squeezing from the side instead of straight back and you can catch the safety and pull your shots.  I've also seen others with the surprise shoot because the padding of the glove is pulling the trigger quicker than the shooter thinks.  David

Say what you will, but coming to the P-10, like I suspect many others here are and that is from carrying a P-01 or 75, they won't be expecting anything like that.

The P-10, being the only owner of a dingus, people will walk out the door with it, never suspecting.

It IS good to know, ever for those of us who will never fire a CZ wearing gloves...I honestly don't think I own a pair, except for driving gloves I use to handle TUB when it's 120 on the firing line. Steel gets warm, doncha know.
But it is important to know with the popularity of this pistol and the freakishly low temps hitting much of the country, thank you. has anyone ever had this issue with other manufacturer dinguses in the cold?

Wobbly, I haven?t got to shoot mine in gloves yet, but thanks for the heads up.
   I do wonder if they were causing a different grip on the trigger. Don?t know if the HBI trigger will correct it, I?m holding out to give the CGW one a try once they get it up for sale.

Thanks for the heads up.  I love 1911s but won't carry one in the winter due to my inability to shoot them with gloves on.  The beauty of most CZs is that big, glove friendly trigger guard but the P10C comes up a bit short in that area.  The trigger guard is a bit smaller to fit the G19 holsters and so you really have to be careful what type of gloves that you wear when shooting a P10C.  I have a couple of pair of think mechanics gloves that work well for light winter carry.  But, with temps lately hitting -12 here in the mornings, light gloves don't cut it.  My solution then is my .40 P07.  That has a nice, big trigger guard and a good, dingus free trigger.

I've also carried a full size 75B in .40 and that trigger guard is even bigger.  The only issue I have there is that the gun gets really cold.  A polymer frame seems to be well suited for deep winter carry.

I solve this by carrying my S&W M64 snubby :-)

[armoredman]

I haven't carried a Model 64 in 20 years, but I wouldn't feel bad with one.

I thought dingus was,

used to refer to something whose name the speaker cannot remember, is unsure of, or is humorously or euphemistically omitting.

"here's a doohickey?and there's the dingus"

"Dingus" is a Latin technical term.
