Using A Suppressor With Your Rifle

Tools that can be adapted for changing needs are popular for both economic and utilitarian reasons. That's probably why modularity now factors so heavily into firearm-related product designs. In recent years, the sound-suppressor industry has joined this modularity party. Gone are the days when you could have your suppressor in any style, so long as it was long, heavy, difficult to keep tight and once tightened, nearly impossible to remove. Read More

I Carry: CZ USA P-10 C OR SR 9mm Pistol in an ANR Design Holster

Let's start by deconstructing the full name of the CZ-USA pistol in today's kit. CZ's P-10 C OR SR handgun is striker-fired – that's the P-10 model – Compact (C) that is optics-ready (OR) and suppressor ready (SR). It means the pistol has a slightly shortened barrel and grip over the full-size P-10, hence the Compact designation, and has an optics cut on the slide in addition to a threaded barrel and suppressor-height sights.

Review: CZ P-10 C OR SR

CZ's P-10 C arrived in 2017 to much fanfare. Released prior to and more enthusiastically than the full-size variant, the smaller pistol ("C" is for compact) was aimed at the Glock G19, the compact that dominated personal-protection pistol sales at the time. After winning rave reviews, the P-10 C seemed to settle into place as "just" another polymer-frame, striker-fired pistol. Read More
