Cz Micro Compact - The new CZ P-10M is the latest in the CZ P-10 series first released in 2017. The P-10 series takes the popular ergonomics of the all-metal CZ 75 pistols, creating an effective and comfortable polymer frame striker. a shot gun. The CZ P-10M is the most compact version of the P-10 series and fits into the highly competitive micro-compact 9mm pistol market.
The CZ P-10M, while technically a line extension and not a unique design, takes significant deviations from the larger P-10 models, optimizing it for concealed carry, increasing the simple and reduces clutter. It has a 7-round magazine capacity and a slim grip with no interchangeable backstraps - something other P-10 pistols have.

The CZ P-10M basically follows the rest of the P-series design in look, feel, and function—it's just smaller. Similarities include a blocky slide with angled bevels on the top corner that start in front of the front of the rear sight and extend to the front of the slide. The bevel reduces the overall width of the front of the slider and is pleasing to the eye. The slide also features aggressive front and rear impact serrations. The only noticeable difference from the P-10M's slide is that the rear is vertical - not forward like the larger P-10 pistols.

The CZ P-10M's ergonomics and shape are similar to the larger P-series pistols, but the P-10M's grip is noticeably lower. Even in the vast field of subcompact 9mm pistols, it's pretty thin. At its widest point, the P-10M's grip measures 1.02 inches, but is only .88 inches wide at the top of the grip. My Kimber Micro 9 has the same capacity and the thinnest part of its grip is 1.07 inches in diameter. The P-10M grip measures 1.75 inches front-to-back, while the Kimber measures 1.85 inches. In this size, small differences in size and shape can make a big difference in fit and feel. Compared to many other micro 9mm pistols, the P-10M's grip feels small or even sloppy—something shooters with small hands will appreciate. Compared to a simple compact pistol like the Glock G19, the P-10M's grip is very flexible.
The most notable pistol comparable to the CZ P-10M is the Glock G43X. The P-10M is almost identical in size to the G43 and G43X, but slightly smaller in length, height and width. The convex grip angle is similar to the G43X and both give the shooter a grip closer to the bore axis. The CZ P-10M has a double-stack magazine that holds seven rounds, wider than a single stack, but not full. The P-10M's eight-round total capacity is limited by the G43X's 11-round capacity, but it's impressive considering the grip's contours and slimness. The P-10M also has a large, wide trigger guard and something the G43X lacks: a slotted accessory rail. I also prefer the P-10M factory sights to the G43/43X.

One of the main differences between the P-10M and other P-series and similar pistols is the lack of an external slide stop control. The CZ P-10M has an internal slide stop and no external lever to release the slide when locked back. The internal slide stop is still pushed up by the magazine follower, opening the slide after firing the last round. But to release the slide, the shooter must grab an empty magazine, pull the slide back, and release it. This allows the slide to stop and the slide can run again. Some shooters prefer not to use the slide stop lever and operate the slide manually. This design is a bit more streamlined and reduces the chance of clothing getting caught in the external controls.

Aside from the trigger, the magazine release is the only external control on the gun. The internal slide stop is not suitable for left- or right-handed shooters, but the magazine release is right-handed only.
The trigger system of the CZ P-10M is lighter than other P-series pistols and similar competitors. While other P-10s use the same ejection system as Glocks, the P-10M uses a simple firing pin. To disassemble the pistol, the trigger is pulled to unload the gun, then the slide is pushed a few millimeters to the rear so that the firing pin is pushed out from the right side of the gun. The slide can slide out of the frame. The replacement is very simple and the process is seamless.
The deactivation pin makes the gun easy to fire, but even though it may appear that the magazine release is reversible, it is not. Tyler Freel
For Those Who Want A Single Stack Micro Cz P 10
The CZ P-10M features a durable low-profile steel three-dot sight painted with white luminescent paint. They are not as bright as tritium, but glow in the dark. I liked that the front and rear sights were dovetailed and adjustable left and right. Both the front and rear sights have a small screw set for easy adjustment.
I found the CZ P-10M to be reliable with a variety of ammunition. During testing, I fired 250 rounds through the pistol without a single malfunction. I fired 115- and 124-grain Remington UMC FMJ loads and several defensive loads, including Federal Premium 124- and 147-grain HST and Browning 147-grain BXP X-Point ammo without issues with accuracy or reliability. I was able to get A-Zone shots on the USPSA target surface at 50 feet with no problem. At a more realistic defensive range of 15 feet, I can place all rounds inside the A zone while firing as fast as possible.
At first, I had trouble controlling the CZ P-10M's recoil due to the size of my hands and the characteristics of the grip. With some extra care and grip adjustments, I found it much easier to control. One problem I have is accidentally ejecting the magazine while shooting. Because of my large hands and grip, I sometimes accidentally hit the magazine release button while the gun was in motion. The button seems misplaced - it's below the thumb, and the low-profile design makes it very responsive. I'm sure it's my support hand holding the button and releasing it during the contraction. I don't have single handed or loose prop shooting.
The CZ P-10M's trigger felt immediately painful to me. It weighs in at 7 pounds 10 ounces, heavier than most pistols in its class with a Lyman trigger-pull gauge. However, I found the trigger pull to be smooth with a clear, consistent break. Recoil is short and crisp, with good spring tension pulling the trigger back through the reset. Despite the heaviness of the trigger, the smooth take-up and short recoil make it a pleasure to shoot. Even when shooting fast, the trigger breaks every time and the reset is easily felt.

The raised texture on the grip provides excellent traction on the smooth polymer grip, and it didn't slip when I held the gun tightly. The texture on the back of the grip is a little painful when shooting, digging into the palm, but the sharpness can be softened with a few strokes with a piece of sandpaper or allow it to smooth over time.
The CZ P-10M has a very thin grip that is perfect for shooters with small hands. The internal slide stop and simplified unloading mechanism make this a lightweight weapon for concealed carry. The Picatinny rail can accommodate multiple lights and lasers - something many other micro 9mm pistols don't have. Finally, the trigger is heavy but smooth and crisp with good recovery.
The CZ P-10M has a very sensitive magazine release button and can be accidentally pressed while shooting. It looks like the magazine grip is reversible for left-handed use, but it's not.
The micro 9mm handgun market is full of change and competition. This makes it difficult for individual products to stand out, but it also allows buyers to be hyper-selective and choose a pistol that really works well for them. CZ has increased the capacity of the P-10M, but it still fits into the overall package size, and those who prefer a slim contoured grip will find fans.
