Finally!

Hi again.

Warmer weather here and some good luck on my end.

I was finally able to handle a P10C the other day...along side an also new
Shadow 2.


All I can say is that after I was able to handle the FDE P10C and test out its trigger..
then handle the equally sweet Shadow 2, is Wow!


Firstly, I've been wanting to get my hands on a P10C since Thanksgiving.

Every article or pic I've seen of them has been both very positive or enticing.

The good folks@CZUB have been cranking them out..and despite the delays in them
getting over here to CZ-USA for distribution..they are now showing up.

Egonomics: That's a big word on how something feels in your hand, at least when we are talking handguns.


The P10C felt great in my hands.  It pointed very very, well..and despite seeming light for a 
duty type or concealment arm...it  had a good balance (unloaded) and a solid feel to it.

I did notice that CZ's FDE color seemed even lighter than in most pics I've seen.

Trigger: Something that reviwers have raved about wioth this CZ model and the one that I handled was no exception.

Unlike with my RAMI BD that I struggle with for the first shot in Double Action mode.

I had no problem pulling the P10C 's trigger in dry-fire.

Light and crisp, or crisp and light, it was by any words: Awesome!


The grips does look longish in pics, but the gun felt good in my hand...
pointed well and the grip didn't really seem all that long.


Sights: These were the glow sights that CZ has on some pistols, and not real-deal
tritium Nites that most people want.

As for me carrying a P10C, I'm sure that a 15-round magazine would bump up the ounces, and like with my bad back and a RAMI or PCR, the P10 would be a stretch for me to conceal on most days.

With re-injury to my back last month..I'm afflicted by chronic pain, and even my RAMI, or RAMI BD are too much for me to carry in the past few weeks.

However, for those of you out there, the 26 ounce P10C should pose no problem(s)
and will probably make for a dandy carry or home defense gun.

Home defense and the indoor range would be the roles that my eventual purchase
would be for.


My choice will be the black P10C in 9mm.





In regard to the Shadow 2.

It was an all black beauty with some racy lines and a sweet as pie trigger.

I did have some trouble with the DA pull, but found it smooth and delightful in single action.

The  front sight seemed to loom ahead of the gun and make your eyes concentrate soley there.

I believe that the front heavy..or muzzle heavy feel is what they were going for as it should
keep 9mm recoil wayy down.


Should  a person want to compete with the big boys, the $1,100 Shadow 2 should 
give him/her a fighting chance,.

Some P-10 C Pics

I've yet to see a P10c in the wild here in Washington state, but know that people
are buying them now.

Here are a couple pics:



I hope to get the FDE version with Nites in September.

With April Showers, turning into some May sunshine, it didn't take long for it to cloud up again here in Clarkston.

However, thos of you who have been waiting under a dark cloud of hope for your P10C orders to be fulfilled, there is good news.

Reportedly, 1,000 have shipped.

Don't know if it's from the factory to the states, or from CZ-USA to distributors.

In any event, I still have yet to se one locally, and the prospect of the Semi-Compact for
next year will probably mean July(or later) for a date on that model.

I wish the very best for both CZUB and CZ-USA on the P10 series, but I'll more than
likely be picking up a FDE EVO 3 pistol from them before I buy a FDE P10C.

It seems like everyone and their cousin has black Scorpion, so I'll go for the FDE version.


Add a stabilizer brace and have a nice and light/handy little package for range or home
defense duty.


Kind of like if, not when, I buy a CZ 512 Carbine, that will be very fun to shoot.


 Athough. I'm still having a bunch of fun with my new RAMI BD.

Over 300 rounds, and no cleaning done to it.

Two New RAMI Mags.

In expressing myself to Cz-USA that the new RAMI BD was breaking in nicely, but didn't
care much for my older RAMI Magazines.

They sent me a nice long sleeved logo shirt and two brand spanking new 14-shot extended
magazines.

After firing 73 rounds through both of them and my original mag marked BD on the bottom
by me via a marker.

I'm happy to say that a 3 of the 14-shot mags and the 10-shot (carry) mag all performed 100%
at the range.

My  7 and 12 yard targets showed good hits whether using Double Tap and other JHPs such as Gold Dot, and XTPs.

This is from new gun that has hit the 235 round mark without cleaning.

The trigger reset is getting much better.

After another range trip:

Some more shooting with my RAMI BD.


Fed all the ammo, including Magtech very well. 


No more issues with the
mags ejecting, but due to the longer rest of the BD.I do prefer my 14 year old RAMIs trigger better.




I'm having a fun time promoting this 
pistol towards those interested in RAMIs, and CZ is general, as I've told people to buy the BD if possible. 




The Decocker is very safe, and the Nites are worth the extra money.

My BD fits in the SHTF GEAR, now Black Arch
hybrid IWB holster very well, as it's actually made for a RAMI BD.

Firing Line: RAMI BD

After years on wondering what a BD would be like, I found out that that they are pretty tight fitting from the factory.


Myself and others have had the same experience with their new BDs, but I'm sure that mine will
break in nicely.



Out of 78 rounds fired. I had a couple failures to close on Magtech FMJ ammo.

Maybe be because of the ammo, or just a new gun's minute Gremilin showing it's head?

This was after I fired a couple mags of shiny new Sellior&Bellot, and some Double Tap JHPs.

My plan is to shoot it some more, like every week for a month before carrying it for
self defense.



However, I'm having a real ball promoting this new gun on CZF , the Facebook RAMI page..
and other places.


The TALON GRIPS give it a rock steady feel when firing.. even if they don't look like tradtional
RAMI grips.


Having the Decock Lever is surely a Godsend at the Range.

No more having to manually lower the hammer over a live round, then reholster before
leaving the area, then resuming my daily duties while carrying concealed.

Not to mention, the new NITE Sights are twice as bright as the aging Nites on my regular
RAMI.

At this point in time:

All I can say about a RAMI BD is Buy One, if you can find one!
