CZ P10 F OR SR vs M&P 2.0 Spec series

[venenoindy]

I'm thinking about putting together a fun/class striker fire handgun. there some really good deals on P10's and I like the new M&P spec series but can also put together something similar if not available. I will add a few things to squeeze as much as I can out of the platform. I'm looking for the softest shooting out of the two. witch is the softest shooter and or best overall. a secondary questions is what is more effective?. compensator vs ported?.

CZ P-10 F OR SR - CZ-USA

New for the US market in 2023, CZ-USA introduces two optics-ready and suppressor-ready P-10 pistols to its lineup. The full-sized P-10 F OR SR and compact P-10 C OR SR models inherit all the performance-driven features of the P-10 series. Like all P-10 series pistols, CZ engineered the P-10 OR…

The guns are essentially the same weight and recoil impulse is going to more or less the same with the 2.0 polymer frame being just a tad lighter.

The guns (SW vs CZ) have a different feel in the hand and I suspect that the determining factor in recoil perception is going to be how it feels to you.

Comps/Ports in a 9mm? Ehh. Marginally effective, at best, in keeping the nose down, adds to the noise level and doesn't have any impact on recoil - in my "experience". Don't get me wrong - I think a comp'd pistol is cool.

The out of the box trigger is far better in the CZ from the pre-travel to the reset. A SW with an Apex is a nice set-up but the reset still isn't great.

If money matters, it is hard to support that the Spec gun is twice the gun of the CZ and this from a guy that has 1.0 and 2.0 SWs.

I might put the following gun up against the Spec gun. I don't have any experience with it but it has interested me since its release.

Best course of action would be to buy all four and then let us know your conclusions.

I been looking for one but they are vaporware, I heard great things about it but they are nowhere to be found.

I recently picked up the P10 OR/SR. I couldn’t get my hands on the optic plate. Cz Custom send me to C&H Precision for my Holosun 507 comp plate. They were quick. I got the plate in just a couple of days. The screws they sent don’t work well with the mount on the gun, so unless you have a supply on extra screws have a gunsmith mount it if that’s the plate your getting. It’s the rmr/sro/holosun plate.

I also put a Cajun Gun Works package with the CGW trigger. Its trigger isn’t bad out of box. I just wanted the pretravel gone. I also put in a steel guide rod and a 13# recoil spring. The springs are only $6 so you can tune it as you like. Their kit really isn’t very expensive and doesn’t include a lot of modifications like the p07/09 kit.

It’s pretty flat shooting. I thought about putting a Taylor brass back-strap on it, but I’m holding on that. I thought it felt awesome at the range yesterday.

Palmetto has that model pretty inexpensively.
