CZ P-10 C OR – compact pistol ready for collimator

Introduction: Modern compact pistol with optics straight from the factory

The CZ P-10 C OR (Optics Ready) is a variant of the successful CZ P-10 C compact pistol, which comes with a modified slide for easy mounting of a micro collimator. This responds to the growing trend of using optical sights for faster and more accurate shooting, whether for defense, service, or sport. Thanks to the solid milling on the slide and raised sights, it is ready for immediate use without any further modifications.

Features and design - ready for collimator, solid mounting, backup sights

The P-10 C OR slide is factory-milled for mounting a micro collimator, specifically the Shield RMS/SMS type, with the milling covered by a plate. Once removed, the collimator can be mounted directly. The design is solid, low-profile, and durable even under repeated stress. Raised mechanical sights allow you to aim through the collimator (cowitness), which is crucial in the event of optics failure. The result is reliable shooting even without electronics.

Features and use - Maintained reliability, with the possibility of faster target acquisition

The P-10 C OR retains all the proven features of the original P-10 C - great ergonomics, 15+1 round capacity, precision cold-hammer forged barrel, light trigger with short reset, and high durability of the polymer frame. The dimensions remain almost identical, with the exception of a slight increase in height and width due to the collimator. The pistol has found its place among athletes (e.g., IPSC – Carry Optics category), professionals, and civilians looking for the most modern solutions. However, for everyday carry, it is necessary to choose a holster compatible with the mounted optics.

Advantages and disadvantages of the CZ P-10 C OR

Advantages

• Optics-ready slide straight from the factory – no additional milling
• Robust, low-profile mount maintains accuracy even with frequent shooting
• Raised sights for cowitness aiming
• Retains all the advantages of the standard P-10 C (ergonomics, reliability, accuracy)
• Versatility – ideal for service, sport, and EDC

Disadvantages

• Higher price compared to the standard version
• The collimator increases the profile – may make concealed carry more difficult
• Mounting adapted to specific types of optics – an adapter is required for other brands
• Single-sided magazine release (reversible), less suitable for some left-handed shooters

Interesting fact: One of the first mass-produced OR pistols in Europe. CZ introduced the P-10 C OR model in 2019 as one of the first European pistols mass-produced with collimator mount compatibility. The package includes not only a pair of magazines and interchangeable grip backs, but also a slide cover and a set of mounting plates. This concept was so successful that today the OR variant appears in most other models – from the full-size P-10 F OR to the SA/DA P-09 Nocturne OR.
