The striker-fired P10c is a popular handgun by any metric, but one thing you might be wondering is how you can shoot more accurately.
It is, after all, the shooter, and not the gun, that makes the biggest difference. But if you just so happen to have a CZ P10c, here are some things you can do to improve your form and hone your accuracy.
Develop Proper Form
More than anything else, developing proper form will impact accuracy.
This starts with grip. Hold the gun high and tight, as far up on the slide as you can with your shooting hand without getting clipped by it.
Wrap your support hand fully around your shooting to maximize control and hold tight. You don’t want a death grip but you should certainly be using a strong grip.
Bend your knees slightly and lean forward to help absorb recoil.
Lastly, line up your sights and focus on the front sight before you squeeze the trigger.
Shoot Lighter Loads
If muzzle jump and recoil are screwing with the accuracy of your follow up shots, consider shooting loads with lower muzzle energy.
Muzzle energy, which is a product of bullet mass and muzzle velocity, is the primary determinant of recoil. The lower the better.
Listen to Your Gun
Some guns are more accurate with certain factory ammo, for whatever reason. If you notice that your gun prefers a specific load, don’t try to overrule it. Go with it.
Install a Compensator
Installing a compensator on your CZ P10c can have a massive impact on felt recoil and muzzle jump.
A good compensator can reduce felt recoil by as much as 50% without adversely affecting shot power at all.
You will be able to shoot more comfortably and keep your sights trained on target for faster, more accurate follow up shots.
Install a CZ Magwell
A CZ magwell won’t help you shoot more accurately, at least not necessarily, but it will help speed up your reloads.
Basically, a CZ magwell is a flared, funneled base that expands the diameter of the magwell, guiding your hand into the mag chute.
It can help you reload more quickly, which can benefit you not just in competition but in defensive encounters.
Get Snap Caps and Dry Fire Train
Dry fire training is designed to help you identify and eliminate flinching, which occurs when you jerk the gun in anticipation of the shot.
Flinching can throw a massive wrench into accuracy; fortunately, dry fire training can help you break the habit.
Analyze Your Targets
If your groups are clustering high, low, or off to one side of the target, this may be due to consistent bad habits such as smearing the trigger or flinching. If you notice a pattern, look up what it might tell you.
Practice, Practice, Practice
Lastly, spend quality time at the range. You’re not going to get better without putting the time in, so block off some range time, be safe, and get to it.
