Looked at a CZ p10

[livingston]

The other day I was at the firing pin in Bergen . They has a CZ P10 for sale . Liked the way it felt in my hand ... One big drawback . The mag release ... I am going to have to do strength training with my hands ... IF I bought one .. God forbid one would have to do a mag change in a firefight. ...Very, very stiff folks . Took a great deal of effort to do the release. .. Folks at the firing pin claim all the CZ P10's are the same way .
Thoughts ..

Love the feel, awesome trigger, I want to get one at some point. Next trip to gun shop i could take a mental note of the mag release, not sure when that will be though. I'm not one to trust "They are all like that"

Now their is an ungraded extended mag release so its possible its a relevant upgrade.

I have one and I love it. Points naturally, love the aggressive grip texture and has one of the best striker fired triggers out there. Don't know what you're talking about with the mag release. No problem with mine. The guy you were talking to was wrong.

Depressing the button to release the mag took tremendous effort. I have a PPQ, P320 and Shield ... I had no trouble dropping a mag without changing position of my hand ... I had to move my hand to apply enough pressure to depress the button.
P10-C Sticky Mag Release - AR15.COM

I'm a big fan of CZ pistols and have owned ten or so over the years. I still have my trusty CZ 75, plus a sweet CZ 75 Phantom and a CZ 83.

Today I caved to the hype and bought a P10-C.

Out of the box, the trigger was gritty but clean on break. I took it to the range and after about 200 rounds, the trigger smoothed out nicely. The gun shot perfectly with no issues, was accurate, easy to control, etc.

However, the magazine release was awfully hard to actuate. It almost always required two hands. I'd push the release in and it seems like it would have to break past something that it was hanging up on. It did get better over time, but never loosened up to the point that I could drop a mag with one hand without using my support hand to grasp the pistol. Anyone else have this issue?

Are you quoting someone's review? Sounds like someone got a dirty gun from the factory. I can only comment on my first hand experience. No grittyness in the trigger and no unnecessary force needed to drop the mag. Try it yourself.

I held one in my hand .. found it very hard to depress... . The fellow behind the counter said every P10 was like that that they had received . Myself I liked the gun . Thought about buying one . The mag release is a concern. Some folks online say after a thousand rounds or so it gets better... Perhaps another store will have one that is smoother ... Trouble most of these stores only have one on hand of any model ... .. Perhaps a used one would be a better fit farther in the future .

The mag release will work itself out

And no it isn't thousands of rounds. Just some every day pressing will work it out pretty quickly
