Anyone else excited about the CZ P10?

[lkrose78]

As I'm still looking for my first handgun, I'm focused on a striker fired handgun (no specific reason), and am currently lusting over the SS P320 as it fits my hand nicely.

After seeing the latest video on the CZ P10 however, I believe I'm going to hold off (still waiting on HQL since 11/1) until this weapon comes out as I like some of the things CZ does with the slider and trigger assy.

Is there any reason not to look towards a CZ as a first choice?

IMO there is no reason to discount the CZ P10 as your first handgun (yet).

If it has the ergonomics of a CZ, and a better trigger than a Glock I don't really see how you can go wrong.

I'd be curious to see a reliability test of the P10. MAC is the big guy on the internet who's done a lot of 1k round tests in various different conditions (contentious though they may be) and he hasn't done a CZ yet. There was a pistol-training article a while back that said they saw a lot of CZs with parts breakages, and I'd be curious to see if the P10 is more or less reliable than the Glock or other CZs.

Thanks for the inputs, I'm trying really hard not to just "jump" on the first thing that I like.

A guy had one at The Machine Gun Nest today, it was pre-production or something. I wasn't there but it's all over their Instagram.

A lot of CZ fan bois shoot matches and the only problems I've seen them have is the magazine lips get bent from dropping the mags on the ground since the mags are metal. Not sure if the P10 has polymer mags or not.

ETA: mags are metal

Wouldn't that theoretically be a potential issue with *any* metal mag, though? Or is there something about the design of CZ mags that makes them more prone to this?

Yes

Def an issue for any metal mag, not just CZ. It's just that I can treat my Glock mags like a hooker in Westworld and they always function flawlessly.

Do we know the price of the P10? I may have to get one.

ETA: google says MSRP of P10 is $499, that sounds like a killer buy!

Production numbers and availability notwithstanding, makes you wonder if we will see the Sub2K effect and inflated prices initially.

That's mitigated with these http://tarantacticalinnovations.com/base-pad-for-cz75/

Would not surprise me, but I think KelTec is famous for not incurring debt to increase their manufacturing capacity which led to the aftermarket pricing for the S2k. Hopefully CZ is better capitalized and that situation can be avoided.

I just talked with the Machine Gun Nest...very nice staff!

Plan on heading up there this weekend early for some range time...forgot to ask about the guy and his CZ p10, but the have a P 09 and Sig P320 for me to play with...

And they told me about a groupon to use for range time, only $29!!
