Polymer-framed CZs have earned respect for decent triggers and good ergonomics, and the P-10 Sub-Compact keeps both in a smaller size. It is a black 9mm with a 3.5" barrel and a 12-round magazine. Compact pistols can feel snappy to new shooters, so give yourself a few range trips before you decide it suits you.

Twelve rounds in a sub-compact is a useful number. It gives you more than a single-stack and still fits a concealed carry holster. The P-10 is a striker-fired pistol, so there is no hammer to snag on clothing. Dry-fire practice, done safely with an empty and checked pistol, builds a clean trigger press for almost nothing. Magazines and holsters for popular pistols are easy to find, which keeps ownership simple.

Price sits below many competitors with similar features, so it is worth a look if you want a carry pistol without spending a lot.

Not everybody finds the same grip comfortable, so handle one at your dealer if you can. A pistol that fits your hand will always be easier to shoot well.

New. It ships to a North Carolina FFL dealer for pickup and the background check.
