CZ P10F, P10C or SP01 Phantom? Need to make a decision.
« on: January 30, 2019, 08:43:36 PM »
Looking for help. I'm looking to replace my FNS-9 with another CZ. Currently have P-01, P-09. Have had 75B, 75 Compact and Rami. I'm trying to decide which of the 3 to go with. The P10F uses same mags as my P-09, so that's a consideration. The P10C is about the same size as the FN I'm replacing (great pistol, but not much aftermarket help, plus I'm going all CZ in the safe). The SP-01 Phantom is same size (close) as the P-09 and P-10F and after carrying 1911's for years, the size for EDC doesn't worry me.
So let's hear the experience some of you have had in the real world and not on paper. Why should I go with one over the other? Strikers and hammers, I know, but I'm comfortable with both, although I do love those SA/DA pistols. :huh: [size=78%] [/size]
Just another old guy, retired, and lots of history.Currently have P-09, P01 FNS-9, and Model 66 wheel gun.Previous included 2075 Rami,75 Compact, 75B, and 5 or 6 1911's. I guess I'm a CZ fan.

That's a pretty personal preference thing, so I can't really advise, although I'm finding myself really liking the P10 line.


A heads up on the F though, it has the new mag release so your existing P09 mags won't work unless they have the new cuts like the two on the left here:





All current manufacture P09 mags will work in both however, and it shouldn't be too hard to mod your existing mags.

Yes, I do have a new 09 with the new mags. That is part of my consideration as I would like to reduce how many different mags I have. My P01 takes 14 or 16 rd mags, not interchangeable with anything else I have. The 10F mags will swap with my 09, but I haven't heard anyone talking about how the 10F performs? I know it's CZ, so should be fine, but you always need that vote of confidence, whereas I've never heard anything bad about the SP01 Shadow.Or I just accept mags will be different and consider the 10C based on size and good reports. Probably overthinking it, and flip a coin.

I'm really loving the P10 platform, I didn't get to shoot my F much - it had an issue with the mag well and had to go back to CZ - but what I did, I really enjoyed. For what that's worth.
