CZ P10C Ported: a new compensated striker-fire pistol
The new CZ P10C Ported 9mm Luger semi-automatic pistol, officially announced by the Czech company on July 1st, is the latest entry in the CZ P10 line of striker-fired, polymer frame handguns that has been the staple of their service and defensive sidearms catalog since it was first introduced in 2017 after a three-years engineering and development process.
CZ's new P10C Ported pistol is built around the same carbon fiber reinforced polymer frame used by the baseline P10C model, and shares other features with the basic P10C such as the interchangeable grip backstraps, overall slip-proof texture, ambidextrous slide stop, reversible magazine catch, and 15+1-rounds double-stack magazines.
The locking system also remains the same as on the original P10C; same goes with the light double-action, 25N trigger, sporting an ultra short 9 mm / 0.35" travel, 4 mm / 0.15" reset, a Glock-style trigger safety, firing pin block and trigger bar safety.

All peculiar modifications on the P10C Ported concentrate on the barrel-slide assembly, and are aimed at making it more controllable and stable in rapid fire, both for tactical applications and practical shooting competitions: the 101 mm / 4" cold-hammer forged barrel sports a 10% heavier profile than a standard P10C barrel and comes with a Target-style crown, as well as a built-in compensator at the muzzle that lines up with a venting hole on top of the slide.
Standing at 186 mm / 7.32" in overall length and weighing in at 760 grams (26.8 oz) when empty and without magazine, the new CZ P10C Ported pistol also features a redesigned machined steel slide, protected by a proprietary deep-nitride matte black finish.
The new slide of the CZ P10C shares many features with the slide design of the CZ P-09 Nocturne line of hammer-fired pistols launched back in August 2024, such as the deep and wide sawtooth-style front and rear serrations, with the front serrations also extending to the upper portion of the slide for better handling.
The CZ P10C Ported slide also features a modular interface for micro red dot sights machined between the rear sight and the ejection window; protected by a removable plate, the interface will allow the use of a vast majority of the most popular MRDS models currently available.
Finally, the CZ P10C Ported pistol comes from factory with the same raised front and rear sights used by the CZ P-09 Nocturne pistols series, allowing better co-witnessing with any red dot sight and making them potentially usable with sound suppressors if a compatible threaded barrel is installed.
