CZ-USA has expanded its striker-fired lineup with the P-10 C PORTED, a compensator-equipped 9 mm pistol aimed at concealed carriers who want faster follow-up shots without aftermarket gunsmithing. Announced July 2, 2025 and already shipping to distributors, the pistol features an optics-ready slide with enlarged front serrations and twin 9 mm ports milled into the muzzle end, redirecting gas upward to cut muzzle rise by roughly 25 percent in factory testing. The cold-hammer-forged 4.02-inch barrel is ten percent heavier than the standard P-10 C tube, adding mass that further dampens recoil. A fiber-reinforced polymer frame retains the series interchangeable backstraps, while a revised trigger geometry shortens reset to 3.5 mm. CZ lists the unloaded weight at 26.1 ounces and the MSRP at $699. Each pistol ships with two 15-round magazines that feature the companys new low-drag followercompatible with existing P-10 base plates. Company engineers told Guns.com the port geometry was validated during a 15,000-round endurance test using +P ammunition without developing slide cracks, addressing a common concern with compensated carry guns. The slide cut accepts direct-mount RMR-pattern optics; plates for Holosun 507K and Shield RMS are optional. Early media reviews from The Firearm Blog and Field Ethos highlight a noticeably flatter impulse, with timed Bill Drills averaging 1.89 secondsabout 0.3 seconds faster than testers recorded with their personal un-ported P-10 C pistols. Shooters also praised the beveled mag-well and new three-dot ProGlow sights that use a photoluminescent ring around the tritium vials.
