CZ P-09 C Nocturne 9mm vs CZ P-10 C 9mm

Two CZ compacts at the same 15-round capacity and the same 26.1 oz weight, within 0.1" of each other in overall length (7.3" vs 7.4"). The real split is the action. The CZ P-09 C Nocturne 9mm is hammer-fired SA/DA with an interchangeable manual safety or decocker, a luminescent front sight and a factory optic cut, and lists a 4.7 lb pull against the striker-fired CZ P-10 C 9mm's 5.6 lb. The P-10 C has a 0.32" longer barrel (4.02" vs 3.7"), a 6.42" sight radius, metal 3-dot sights, a 0.24" narrower profile (1.26" vs 1.5"), a 0.2" lower height (5.2" vs 5.4"), two magazines in the box, and a $200.00 lower MSRP ($449.00 vs $649.00).

Pick the CZ P-09 C Nocturne if:

• You want a hammer-fired SA/DA action with a decocker or manual safety option
• It is cut for an optic from the factory; the P-10 C is not
• The listed 4.7 lb single-action pull is 0.9 lb under the P-10 C's 5.6 lb

Pick the CZ P-10 C if:

• MSRP is $200.00 lower ($449.00 vs $649.00), with two magazines included
• It is 0.24" narrower (1.26" vs 1.5") and 0.2" lower for carry
• You want the longer 4.02" barrel, 6.42" sight radius and metal 3-dot sights

Capacity, length and weight are effectively tied, so this is a choice between a hammer gun with an optic cut and a slimmer, cheaper striker gun with a longer barrel and metal sights.
