CZ P-10 C 9mm vs FN 509 Compact 9mm

Both are striker-fired polymer compacts with steel slides, interchangeable backstraps, two magazines and no factory optic cut, and their listed triggers are within 0.1 lb of each other (5.6 lb vs 5.5 lb). Size and capacity do the separating. The CZ P-10 C 9mm holds 15 rounds to the FN 509 Compact 9mm's 12, has a 0.32" longer barrel (4.02" vs 3.7"), a 0.82" longer sight radius (6.42" vs 5.6") and a $190.00 lower MSRP ($449.00 vs $639.00). The FN is the smaller gun: 0.6" shorter overall (6.8" vs 7.4"), 0.2" lower (5.0" vs 5.2") and 0.6 oz lighter (25.5 oz vs 26.1 oz), though it is 0.09" wider (1.35" vs 1.26").

Pick the CZ P-10 C if:

• You want three more rounds per magazine (15 vs 12)
• The longer 4.02" barrel and 6.42" sight radius suit how you shoot
• MSRP is $190.00 lower ($449.00 vs $639.00), with metal 3-dot sights front and rear

Pick the FN 509 Compact if:

• You want the shorter, lower gun for concealment: 6.8" vs 7.4" long, 5.0" vs 5.2" tall
• It is 0.6 oz lighter on the belt (25.5 oz vs 26.1 oz)
• You prefer a Hi-Viz front sight over a metal 3-dot setup

The P-10 C is the larger-capacity, longer-sighted, cheaper gun; the 509 Compact is the one that hides better at a 3-round capacity cost. Since the triggers are 0.1 lb apart on paper, grip fit and carry size should decide it.
