For the primary purpose of CCW, which would you buy first, and why?
CZ P10c or CZ 75 SP-01?

PCR because I prefer the hammer fired CZ’s. I have the 75 Compact, which is the steel version of the PCR. I have 2 SP-01s but the are a little heavy for everyday carry. It’s no longer made but the Phantom would be my first choice. It is a lighter weight SP-01. That’s what I used when I tried to shoot IDPA events.

Metal, hammer > plastic, striker

PCR is the one in that group for me.

The SP01 is a big heavy gun, not my choice.
The PCR and P01 are great choices, alloy frame, 15 Rd mags, I've got 3 PCRs. The P01 has a light rail the PCR does not.
Not a big plastic guy and this CZ fan likes the M&P better.
Another one not listed, CZ P07. Poly frame, hammer fired, Glock 19 is size.

I would go with the SP01 as I'm very fond of it's little brother, the P01.

For carry I'd forget the SP01, that's a big heavy all steel gun.
The PCR (or the P01, my choice) would be much friendlier in a holster all day with its aluminum frame.

Well, I have actually carried all the guns on your list. However, my SP-01 was the poly frame Phantom, and with a High Noon Down Under holster it disappeared under a loose t-shirt. Good solid pistol, miss it.
The CZ PCR is, hands down, the best DA/SA alloy frame CCW pistol ever built, in my book...of course, nobody READS my book. I carried my PCR in a Bianchi M-100, kind of an insult to a fine pistol, but it was what I could afford. Oddly enough, I still have that rig. I also carried a CZ P-01.
The P-10C is my current EDC, a 2017 FDE with the updated slide. It works fantastic, and even though I swore I'd never carry a striker fired pistol, once I actually tried one, I was hooked. It rides OWB in a High Noon Stingray rig, and has for years, actually very easy to conceal with those afore mentioned big t-shirts..
Remember that M-100 IWB rig? It fits my P-10S quite well, but for more formal occasions I have a High Noon Slide Guard that works exceptionally well. The little P-10S model shoots like a much bigger pistol, so well my son got one and refuses to shoot closer than 25 yards, because he feels it's cheating. At 25 yards he can keep 99% on a steel 3/4 scale IDPA standing with his OD P-10S. The ONY reason I carry the C instead of the S is capacity, seriously. The S grip is just long enough for me to get a comfortable firing grip, but that couple extra rounds is reassuring. Hopefully I don't need Round Number One, much less Round Number 15, but just in case...
This will come down to what your hand likes and what your back will support. If you like DA/SA, get the PCR. If you want a rail, get the P-01. If you like striker and can conceal a little bigger, get the P-10C. If you need better concealment, the P-10S. For deep conceal, there is always the P10M, also have one, nifty little gun, but it's a deep/BUG style of pistol for me. Besides, mine was confiscated as soon as it arrived...
The only P-10 I would carry is the P-10F Competition Ready - that dadgum 5 inch barrel an enormous grip don't lend itself to concealment well...

For my appendix carry it’s a P-01 with Apex hammer/sear kit. I also have a urban gray Omega but like the classic trigger better. Once you get one, you’ll love it. Big brother SP-01 Tactical is for range practice/nightstand with the same hammer kit. Carrying it would need a great holster as it’s over 3 pounds with 20 rounds on tap.

For primarily CCW, I like polymer striker.
And the P10s is smallest while still being big enough to shoot great.
I carry a P10c most often. I love them. I don't like carrying my CZ hammer guns. They aren't as comfy because I carry while doing active stuff most often.

A CZ RAMI if you can get your hands on one is the perfect CZ carry option in my opinion. Other than that it just comes down to if you prefer a striker system or DA/SA hammer.

Monster Zero.
My carry guns are all in DA/SA. My only CZ is a PCR, and has my favorite ergos of any DA/SA handgun. I own three other DA/SA 9mm handguns.
On your list of which to buy First, only the CZ PCR and SP-01 are in DA/SA.
Without this personal preference & restriction, I would gladly have a CZ P10c Compact....or a Walther PPQ (buzzer sounds !) or HK VP9.
A few years ago I rented a CZ P10c Compact, really liked it. I was a little disappointed that it was not DA/SA.

Upon further contemplation/ due deliberation:
Terry G is so right.
The CZ brand’s reputation has kept prices limited.
Such an epic,
Horrible image Must be what allowed a near-mint PCR to remain in a really popular suburban Gun Store until I discovered it .

Nothing for sale, you Guy's caught me out immediately. On the Poll I would pick the PCR only because the P-01 isn't listed. I carry the P-01 in warmer weather and the 97b in the Winter. You are not going to go wrong with any CZ. The CZ 82, bought new, surplus, got me started on CZ's and I can't stop.

A tiny bit of imagination suspects irony in certain simple "negative" comments. It's rather comical when people fall for them.
I led a few people to the wrong conclusion, using satire about S&W 3rd. Gens, despite my Having posting the color-coded "3rd Gen chart" on the first page of that S&W topic
It's easy to forget who goes to the trouble of placing info on Page 1, and those who only “Parachute “ Into page three don't know, or Forget Nicknames.

People are always raving about CZ's, me included, so I thought to stir things up a bit. I was surprised that anyone took me seriously!Terry G:

Wow. Hadn't looked at Gunbroker PCRs in a good while.
Pages of CZ PCRs are available, however I suspect that most people who are potentially interested won't buy one, because they can't find a local gun to Allow them to experience the ergonomics.
