Oh man oh man, I’ve been waiting over a year for this day and oh boy did I get a good deal!!

CZ P10C

I got a really good deal because this website only sells firearms to law enforcement and military only.

The firearm itself (with no fees) was $480.00. With fees (including FFL) it was 569.00. Only other websites it’s been completely out of stock and if it is instock they’re going from $600+ - $700

this will be my concealed carry 06C806AE-54D6-455E-A731-D7E8AEE74BE5.png

Congratulations!

As for ammo, buy whatever you can get your hands on. For defensive ammo, any of the well known brands make good ammo. Buy whatever you can, and run a few mags of it through the gun to make sure they work well together before you start carrying.

Maybe take some of that deployment money you've been raking in and piss it away on a class or two. All the gun classes I've taken have been worthwhile.

Before I read everything did you find the OR model??


Also good stuff from Primary Machine. (Their barrels are a worthwhile upgrade)

Sig vcrown is also decent (hot and gold dots are the god standard but we live in some crazy times right now)

Hornady Critical duty and defense (duty will work just fine out of the P10c barrel, duty has better penetration and more barrier blind, something you have to decide if that's what you want) but honestly it'd probably be my 5th or so choice if you can't find any HST or Gold dots then finally vcrowns

If you want to nerd out on defensive ammo, this is a good resource: Handgun Self-Defense Ammunition - Ballistic Testing Data

The fact is, I don't think it's worth sweating it too much as long as you get a reputable one like any of the ones Edwardteach mentioned. I went with Federal HSTs when I had a 9mm, mostly because 50 rd boxes were affordable, unlike the normal defensive stuff that was $20/20rds. I'd also add Winchester Ranger as a good one.

Stick with the Federal HST, Speer Gold Dot, Winchester Ranger, Winchester Train & Defend / PDX1 or similar. The Critical Duty and Defense have caused many people problems with reliable cycling due to the rubber tip and also have pretty minimal expansion. The Sig V Crown has shown to have inconsistent results as far as expansion goes as well. Most people will recommend heavy for caliber. (147gr.) Whatever you end up getting just be sure to run a few mags through as some guns don't like some ammo. Make sure it works with your exact gun.

Now we just need to get you hooked up with a good holster, belt

(Blue Alpha Gear is a great option for a more casual look)

As for ammo, for everyone that says use this and don't use that; you will have others tell you to use that and not this.

The way I look at ammo is anything will get you 90% of the way there.

That last 10% can get expensive, but if you need it, you need it.

I usually carry critical defense, but I'm not a snob, any of the quality self defense ammo is good in my book.

I wouldn't hesitate to use FMJ to defend myself in a pinch though. The odds the bad guy will notice are pretty small.

I just noted that targetsportsusa is shipping ammo to NYS. Add that one to outdoorunlimited to NYS-friendly shippers.

Don't get hung up on ammo choices. That gun will eat anything.

I heard even steel casing! My grandfather was wondering if it would eat steel or if it was picky. He had a slim and it was a piece of junk.

Excellent pistol, congratulations!!!! Ammo? Get what you can find. ball ammo is usually the cheapest and easiest to find these days. It will do everything you need it to do, shot placement is the key factor.

I scored a good lot of this stuff before this contrived shortage. Very accurate and I would buy more if I didn't start reloading the 9.
