Training Replica: CZ P-10 S

The CZ P-10 S (Subcompact) is the smallest member of the P-10 family. It was designed to offer the same "Glock-killing" trigger and ergonomics of the P-10 C in a package optimized for deep concealment. Despite its small footprint, it is widely praised for "shooting like a larger gun," largely due to its relatively beefy slide and excellent grip geometry.

Key Design Elements

• The P-10 Trigger: It retains the same striker-fired trigger as the F and C models, which is famous for its crisp 4.5�5 lb break and a very short, tactile reset. This gives it a significant edge over most subcompact competitors.

• 12+1 Capacity: In its standard flush-fit configuration, the P-10 S holds 12 rounds of 9mm�two more than the comparable Glock 26. It also accepts magazines from the P-10 C (15 rds) and P-10 F (19 rds), making it a highly versatile "backup" gun.

• Optics-Ready (OR) Variations: The P-10 S is commonly available in an Optics-Ready version. This model features a factory-milled slide that uses a plate system for mounting micro red dots (like the Holosun 507K or Trijicon RMRcc) and often comes with co-witnessing iron sights.

• Ergonomics: While it is a subcompact, CZ included three interchangeable backstraps (S, M, L) to ensure it fits various hand sizes. The aggressive texturing is designed to keep the small frame secure during recoil.

• Ambidextrous/Reversible Controls: Modern production units feature a reversible magazine release (replacing the stiffer ambidextrous button found on the earliest 2018-2019 models) and a low-profile ambidextrous slide stop.

P-10 S vs. The Competition

Shooters often compare the P-10 S to the Glock 26 or the SIG P365:

• vs. Glock 26: The P-10 S offers a better factory trigger, higher standard capacity (12 vs 10), and a more modern accessory rail.

• vs. SIG P365: The P-10 S is a "chunkier" subcompact. While the P365 is thinner and easier to hide, the P-10 S is generally easier to control during rapid fire because it feels more like a compact duty pistol.
