CZ Introduces the New P-10 C Ported COA at IWA 2026

At the IWA 2026, CZ unveiled a revamped version of its popular CZ P-10 C Ported with the new  P-10 C Ported COA. 

Building on the foundation of the widely used compact striker-fired pistol, CZ’s design team has taken the original concept and refined it into a more feature-rich package aimed at modern shooters. Individuals who could be looking for viable gun for concealed carry or duty use. The result is a pistol that blends the familiar ergonomics of the P-10 series with several performance-focused upgrades.

Performance-Focused Enhancements

The new P-10 C Ported incorporates a number of design improvements intended to enhance both handling and aid in recoil reduction. 

The new P-10 C Ported sports CZ’s aggressive front and rear slide serrations, providing solid grip when manipulating the slide under a variety of conditions.

CZ’s redesigned also features a cold hammer-forged barrel that is approximately 10% heavier than the original, which can help improve durability and barrel longevity. Paired with the heavier barrel is a chunk port integrated into the barrel and slide system, designed to help reduce muzzle rise and felt recoil during firing.

Together, these changes aim to deliver better tracking of your red dot while under recoil, which can allow the shooter to facilitate faster follow up shots when shooting.

Optics-Ready and Competition-Inspired Features

CZ has also updated the platform to meet the growing demand for optics-ready pistols.

The P-10 C Ported ships optics-ready with Aimpoint’s A-Cut footprint, with the  Aimpoint COA directly mounted.

Additional upgrades include an aluminum trigger and an aluminum flared magwell, both aimed at improving performance and ergonomics. The magwell is designed to help guide magazines during reloads, both additions add a premium feel to the handgun.

CZ also includes three magazine options with the P-10 C Ported COA of 15, 17, and 19 rounds providing users flexibility depending on their intended use.

Final Thoughts

With the revamped P-10 C Ported COA, CZ appears to be targeting shooters who want a compact pistol that blends concealed carry practicality with performance-oriented upgrades. The addition of porting, optics compatibility, and competition-inspired components suggests the pistol could appeal to both defensive shooters and range enthusiasts looking for a more refined P-10 platform.

CZ has not yet announced official pricing for the new model, but more details are expected as the pistol moves closer to broader market availability following its debut at IWA 2026.
