CZ adding a 10 mm to their line up.

Is CZ adding a 10mm to their line up, or is CZ Custom adding a 10mm conversion to their offerings?

Yet I suspect CZ will do a better job with it and the aftermarket support (Custom and CGW) will be much, much better.

Aftermarket support for Tanfoglios is every bit as good as for the CZ's. It's from different suppliers (Henning, Patriot Defense, Tanfo's own Xtreme parts, EGW) than most of the CZ stuff, but if people think there is a lack of aftermarket support for Tanfo's, they simply don't know where to look.

But a 10mm CZ is great news!

I just got into the 10mm game I hope this resurgence continues!

So then, where is this on their site?

It seems to be increasingly common for manufacturers (both firearm-related and non-firearm related) to "leak" stuff via social media and/or social media influencers prior to formal announcement or inclusion in (online or offline) catalogs. If the CZ Custom people say there's a 10mm coming, I would consider that to be pretty credible, even if the factory website doesn't have it yet.

great news if a full platform. I shoot a lot of 10mm and will be looking forward to this.

Just make a CZ97 with decocker in 10mm & I'm about it.

Dan Wesson has always had a 10mm in a 1911 platform

Willing to bet, based on the markings on the slide and "who" made the social media post, its a CZ custom pistol and not a production CZ gun from the motherland.

Not everyone can afford one. Might be a couple hundred more. Some of us can't afford the extra couple hundred.

I’d really like it to be an alloy frame 75 variant.

That is my strong suspicion too. That looks like a CZ-97BD based on the chamber and markings. I highly doubt CZ Custom would have gotten an advanced copy of a new 10mm design far enough ahead to be teasing a custom job on it. So, factory CZ-97BD converted to 10mm by CZ Custom seems the most logical.

Well, now I am excited!

Maybe it will be. Kind of a modern day Bren Ten.

No one said you had to buy one. Get a Glock or any of the other 10mm out there.

I gotta say, I'm pretty excited to see what this offering is all about.

Yesterday I went to the range and shot 400 rounds of 45 acp through two different guns. One was an HK45 and the other a Dan Wesson Classic Commander. I hadn't shot the HK45 for some time. Well, what I forgot is how that gun gives me a blister on my trigger finger due to the trough in the bottom of the trigger guard. It seriously pissed me off. Then I accidentally decocked it during a string of fire. I can tell I've been shooting 1911's and other SAO guns a lot. I didn't shoot it particularly well. I could accept that since I hadn't shot it for some time, but this was bad. My group at 20 yards looked like a pattern.

My Dan Wesson I was punching the center of the target out at 20 yards without a problem.

The problem with upgrading your collection with some finer guns is that you suddenly realize what steaming piles of crap you have been living with for years, and now the lesser gun almost start to piss you off. In fact polymer guns in general are falling out of my realm of interest.

I think yesterday made my decision for me. The HK is getting sold off, and it will likely help fund this CZC 10mm as a replacement, assuming it's actually a full gun and not just a conversion as some speculate. If it holds 15 rounds (I assume that's the number in order to compete with Tanfoglio) I'll have half again as much ammo on tap for home defense in a platform I know I'll shoot better. Time to see what other guns can go. Maybe my VP9 will go too.

I'd probably elect to cook up a light loading for home defense. You don't really need 10mm to stop a home invader.

If someone can’t afford a Dan Wesson 1911, then I’d bet they’re well out of the market for a CZ Custom 10mm....

From CZC Facebook page. Looks like 97 Conversions and I think full guns also. I’m buying this after selling some guns, or getting a 97 and sending it in.

I would imagine so given you like your 97, and that you don't own a 10mm yet. This seems like a perfect mash up to me.

If I bring home only this gun this year, I'll be content. It basically just looks like a scaled up Shadow 2, and I have nothing but good things to say about mine.
