Cant decidewhich one, P-10c or P09?
« on: April 04, 2018, 04:28:22 PM »
I am in the market for a CZ handguns and have narrowed it down to the P09 and the P-10c. Anyone have both of these models and which do you prefer?  This will be a range/ bedside/ 4wheeler riding gun as i have several glocks i carry. I will get CZC and Cajun parts put in them along with CZ custom Htac sights. Thanks for any help

The P-09 is rather large. It's great to shoot but difficult to conceal. It's a very accurate pistol, tops

The P-10C is easy to shoot well and is ideally sized for carrying. It is also very accurate.

I like them both equally.

The P10C compares more directly to the P-07. Do you prefer strikers over hammers? For home defense, I like the magazine capacity of the P-09, but CZ Custom offers a P-09 mag/basepad that works with the shorter P10 grip and adds +2 for a total of 21 plus another in the chamber.

For what you're looking to do, I'd pick the P-09 all day. The only way the P-10C is better over the P-09 IMO is it's smaller for carry.

I have two P-07's and a P10c.  The P-07 is about the same size as the P10.  I love all of them but my P-07's are my go to guns.

If you're a Glock fan then you're gonna love the P-10c.  I've carried Glocks for years, but I love the P-10c so much more as it's more accurate than the Glock, a heckuva lot more ergonomic, with a nicer, crisper trigger pull.  The size of the P-10c falls in between a G17 and a G19.

That being said, I love the P-07 and P-09 even more than my P-10c.  After years of carrying a striker-fired pistol, I've come to appreciate the safety that a DA/SA pistol provides with the long first trigger pull (with the lighter SA follow up shots).  The P-07s and P-09s are super egonomic too and feel great in the hand.  Like others said above, the compact P-10c compares more favorably with the P-07 in size.  The P-09 has quickly become my favorite pistol of all time.  Love it.  But it definitely is a pretty big pistol (a bit larger than a G17) so if you're going to try to conceal it, I think the P-07 would definitely be easier to hide.  But for all else, I'd choose my P-09 first!   But you can't go wrong with wither of the 3.  They're all awesome.  Glad that you're checking out the lesser-known CZ line.  You won't be disappointed.

I know you said you have Glocks to carry, but I think there's a good chance that once you buy and shoot your CZ, you're going to want to carry it instead of your Glock.

I have both and like them both. Based on what you said the pistol will be for, it sounds like the P09 would work best. Assuming of course, you would be OK with DA/SA. If you prefer striker fire pistols, then the P10 C is what you want.

Best regards.

My choice would be for a P-07/P-09 over the P-10c ... but I am a self-avowed TDA/hammer fan ;-)

Reading your post, and seeing that concealed carry is'nt part of you're planned useage, I'd get the P-09.. with CGW parts in it, you can't go wrong, you should end up with a excellant handgun..

I had a P-09 for years but recently traded it on an FNX-45. It was a nice shooter. The P-09 handles recoil very well and I thought the trigger was pretty good. It is pretty big, not FNX-45 big.. but it feels a lot larger than a P-10C.

The P-10C is a great pistol. I've added a trigger, a striker and springs but from day one that pistol has been just plain fun to shoot. I'm up over 2200 rounds with only a single FTE, which was experienced by a first time shooter. I think it was a case of limp wrist but that's here nor there.

I would absolutely pick the P-10C. It's the flattest shooter in the compact 9mm segment, in my experience. The hype and hiccups with this pistol makes it subject to a wide range of opinions. However, I can say nothing but great things. Great accuracy, reliable, excellent recoil mitigation, A+ ergonomics.. the list goes on.

Of the two choices you gave, I would pick the P-10c over the P-09.

Of the choice you didn't give, I would pick the P-07 over the P-10c.   O0

Time to try the hammer to see what you've been missing -- P09!

Looks like you're getting answers across the board.

From your statement, you said you have several Glocks for carry, then you don't need another carry gun, if you did then go with the P10c, love mine. But, if you want a great shooter, a larger defensive bedside and OWB gun, then the P09 is the way to go. Mine shoots about as well as the SP01, and that's saying a lot.

For your needs, it sounds you're needing a P09.

For your needs, I would go for the PO9.
