CZ P-10 C

Name: CZ P-10 C
Brand: CZ

CZ lists the P-10 C as a striker-fired 9x19 mm pistol on a fibreglass-reinforced polymer frame, with a 102 mm barrel, fixed luminescent sights, a firing pin block, and a 15-round magazine that extends to 17 with an extended base plate.

Scope note: SKU 91531, the 15-round base gun, which CZ's own page calls "the most popular model in the CZ P-10 family". The page carries a second block for this same pistol — SKU 01531, identical on every measurement and differing only in a 10-round magazine — plus fifteen blocks belonging to other models; the 10-round listing is a capacity-restricted configuration of this gun and is a separate listing under the base-model rule, as are the P-10 C OR, OR FDE, OR SR, Ported and Ported COA, and the P-10 S, F and F Competition. THREE DIFFERENT TRIGGER-PULL FIGURES FROM CZ, ONE RECORDED: the technical specification table gives 25 N / 5.6 lbs, which is what this record follows; the same page's model-features block renders that same 25 N as "5.5 lbs." in its imperial view (25 N is 5.62 lb, so 5.6 is the better rounding of CZ's own metric figure); and the retired cz-usa.com listing's prose says the trigger "breaks at a clean 4-4.5 lbs", which is a different era, a different SKU and roughly a pound and a half away. A page can disagree with itself, and this one does — follow the technical table and disclose the rest. All four action-axis decisions on this record are sourced separately, which is the point of splitting them. Ignition is striker-fired and comes from the PRODUCT PAGE, which states it outright — "this highly advanced, striker-fired pistol is suitable for concealed carry" — corroborated by the manual's "the firing mechanism with striker is partially precocked" (p. 6) and by the retired listing's Trigger Mech row reading "Striker". Operating system is recoil-operated and comes from the MANUAL ALONE — "The CZ P-10 is a semi-automatic handgun incorporating short recoil" (p. 4) — so it carries an operatingSystemSource rather than borrowing the product page's footnote; note the contrast with the Shadow 2, whose manual says only "locked breech system" and whose operating system is therefore unrecorded. TRIGGER ACTION IS DELIBERATELY UNSET, and it is the one field here that could not be settled: CZ's structured trigger-type row reads "SFDA", which CZ never expands anywhere on the site or in the 78-page manual, while the manual describes the mechanism as "precocked SA" — "Before firing, the firing mechanism with striker is partially precocked. When the trigger is pulled, it is further cocked and finally released" (p. 6). Expanding SFDA would be inventing the manufacturer's words, and a precocked striker that the trigger finishes cocking is genuinely none of the directory's three trigger actions (sao, dao, da/sa). A `precocked-sa` value would fit and is a user decision, not a transcription. The directory frame class IS set here, unlike the Ruger RXM and the Springfield Echelon, because CZ expands its own model letter: the retired listing states that "the 'C' in the name indicates that it is compact in both frame and slide size", and the current page's prose cites the pistol's "compact dimensions". Manufacturer size class stays unset because CZ publishes no size-class field to quote. Year introduced is unrecorded: CZ publishes no dated launch announcement on the current news index — which carries the Ported, Ported COA and P-10 M but not the base model — and none in the archived cz-usa.com news set. The retired listing does announce the model ("we're pleased to announce the latest addition to the CZ line of handguns — the P-10 C") but carries no date of its own, and its earliest Web Archive capture, 2016-11-26, bounds the announcement rather than dating it. Recording 2016 from a capture date is the inference the PSA Dagger record refused. Everything else reconciles cleanly, unlike the Shadow 2: 740 g is 26.1 oz, 102 mm is 4.02 in and 25 N is 5.62 lb, so both unit systems are published and none is converted. The retired listing agrees on barrel length and weight to within rounding (4.02 in, 26 oz) and gives an overall length of 7.3 in where 187 mm is 7.36 in, a rounding difference rather than a conflict. Its "Metal Three-Dot" sights are not recorded: the current SKU publishes fixed luminescent sights, and the two describe different production configurations rather than disagreeing. Slide finish is unrecorded for the same reason — the nitride finish appears only in the retired listing's prose. Overall height carries a basis note because CZ does not say whether it includes a magazine. Also published and unrecorded for want of a schema field: a fibreglass-reinforced polymer frame, a 4 mm trigger reset, a 9 mm trigger travel, an unthreaded barrel, and a $449 MSRP.

Verification boundary: Published technical data are rounded, may not reflect manufacturing tolerances, and may change without notice. MSRP is not recorded: most cited product pages do publish a price, but it changes without notice and independently of the specification, so this directory has no field for it and the row stays blank rather than carrying a figure that would silently go stale.

Evidence tiers backing this record: Manufacturer. Unmarked values come from manufacturer documentation; any value drawn from a lower tier is labeled inline with that tier. Where two sources disagreed, the higher tier was recorded and the disagreement noted.
