I took my Son to an indoor gun range a couple days ago. You might say he is afraid of guns and I wanted him to be a little more comfortable around them. He has a very good friend that has been robbed twice while living in Kalifornia. His friend is a registered nurse. A doctor that works with him was recently robbed and tied up in his own home. I suggested going to the gun range and while there we all signed up for a USCCA gun safety course. I had a brand new Ruger LC9s 9mm that I gave him. He was having great difficulty hitting anything. I also have a Ruger SR40c and he had difficulty with it. Strange enough, the instructor said that my SR40c was not right for him either. As a matter of fact, the instructor shot it and said it was hard to shoot.
They had gun rental and the instructor suggested another gun. He came back with a CZ P10c. I am not believing this but my Son had a shot group at 7 yards the size of the palm of his hand and his hands are relatively small compared to mine. I am still having a hard time believing this.
So, we are in the market for a different gun. The one problem my Son had with the CZ is the texture of the grip. After shooting over 50 rounds his had was very sore. I can understand this because I didn't like the small knobs protruding from the handle either. My Son said it was like cutting butter shooting the CZ compared to my Rugers. The instructor said my guns were "old school" and the newer technology of the CZ P10c would be better for my Son.
My problem with this is I think the P10c is kind-of big for concealment. I was thinking of the P10S. Can anyone recommend one way or another what CZ I should be looking at? I am retired military and been in a couple or so combat situations but mostly with the M1, M14, M16, M60 and .50Cal. I qualified with a Colt M1911 but that is all of my pistol carrying experience except for my CCW.
I checked with CZ-USA and they offer a military discount. I can get the P10S for $468 plus tax. Problem is I don't know how much different the S shoots than the C, or if there is something better that is available. All replies and suggestions are welcome.
Thanks, Ed
