ASG CZ P-10 C GBB – A Striker-Fired Innovation in CZ Style

Airsoft players are no strangers to Glock pistols, and it's not uncommon to own multiple Glocks. Some even have several versions of the same Glock model from different manufacturers, such as Marui, VFC, and UMAREX, etc..

However, in the world of real firearms, CZ dominates shooting competitions. The renowned Shadow 2, CZ 75, P-07, and P-09 have solidified CZ’s reputation in precision shooting. The company's meticulous attention to even the smallest details has earned them a top position in the shooting world. The CZ P-10 C is a continuation of CZ's expertise in firearm design, combining CZ’s signature advantages with features similar to Glock’s striker-fired pistols.

Like the P-07 and P-09, the P-10 C features a wide trigger guard for versatile use in various conditions. Its nearly perfect grip curvature allows the shooter to maintain a firm hold, even under strong recoil. The textured grip further enhances stability during shooting. One of the most appreciated aspects of the P-10 C’s real-steel version is its trigger feel, thanks to the dual-sided trigger bar, which provides a solid, stable, and reassuring shooting experience.

With a compact design similar to the Glock 19, a striker-fired system, and a lightweight polymer frame, the CZ P-10 C offers all the advantages of Glock while incorporating CZ’s superior shooting ergonomics. It’s no surprise that this pistol has become a popular choice among many. Countries such as the Czech Republic, Poland, Malaysia, and, more recently, Taiwan’s Investigation Bureau have adopted the CZ P-10 C as a defensive weapon.

ASG’s Licensed CZ P-10 C GBB

ASG has been producing CZ-licensed replicas from the CZ 75 series to the P-series. The ASG CZ Shadow 2 is already well-loved by IPSC players. ASG had been planning to release the CZ P-10 C for years, but stringent quality tests delayed its launch until the end of 2023. Key considerations included stable gas output for the magazine, consistent accuracy, and the durability of essential components such as the slide and slide catch.

The ASG CZ P-10 C GBB is designed based on the Marui Glock Gen 3 system. It features a Ø6.01mm aluminum inner barrel, a 70° Hop-up bucking, which is an optimal setup for dual-system performance, and the reinforced nylon nozzle ensures enhanced durability.

At an ambient temperature of 25°C, it can reliably fire through nearly two full gas magazines filled with BBs. Whether it’s the unique nozzle structure designed specifically for the P-10 C GBB or the fine-tuned recoil spring guide rod, ASG has incorporated detailed craftsmanship reminiscent of the real firearm.

The safety mechanism of the CZ P-10 C is similar to most Glocks, located discreetly on the frame in front of the trigger guard.

The slide disassembly process is also identical to Glock, requiring the user to pull down the slide release levers on both sides while pushing the slide forward to remove it.

The real firearm comes with three different sized grip backstraps.

However, ASG CZ P-10 C GBB is a perfect replica, faithfully mirroring the real gun. The airsoft gun is pre-installed with the M-size grip backstrap and additionally includes S and L sizes. This replicates CZ's dedication to ergonomics, providing an exceptionally comfortable grip.

Customization Options and Performance

ASG offers several interesting upgrade parts. One of them is an ambidextrous magazine release button. The factory settings version comes with a textured, single-sided magazine release, while the upgrade part features textured buttons on both sides. To swap it out, simply drive out the small pin above the magazine release from the non-marked side of the slide to the marked side.

Another practical upgrade is the DOCTER/RMR Optic Ready Plate. It features mounting points for most DOCTER and RMR optics available on the market. To install it, users only need to remove the 2mm hex screws on the rear sight cover, replace the cover with the adapter plate, and mount their preferred optic. ASG has also released a threaded outer barrel with a standard counter-clockwise 14mm thread, making it convenient for users to attach suppressors or tracer units.

When disassembling the slide, users should be mindful of the recoil spring guide rod, which locks onto the central buffer block. It is recommended to remove the buffer block before disassembling the Hop-up chamber and inner barrel.

In factory settings, at around 25°C ambient temperature, the effective range of the ASG CZ P-10 C GBB is approximately 25 meters, with a maximum range of about 30 meters. ASG remains ambitious, aiming to further improve both accuracy and range.

Available Variants

ASG currently offers four versions of the P-10 C:

• CZ P-10 C (Standard Version)

• CZ P-10 C OR-OT (Optic Ready Version)

Each version is available in either black or two-tone black and tan. Being a fully licensed replica,

the ASG P-10 C enjoys the advantage of authentic markings and meticulous details identical to the real firearm. Some players have criticized the ASG logo near the ejection port, but from a positive perspective, firearm regulations are constantly evolving worldwide, and this marking serves as clear proof that it is an airsoft replica.

A couple of details are worth noting.

The mounting plate included with the ASG CZ P-10 C OR-OT version is specifically designed for ASG’s in-house optics, as it requires four alignment points on the plate. However, users can sand down these points to make it compatible with a wider range of optics.

Additionally, when inserting the gas magazine, particularly for the first time, users may need to apply extra force to ensure the magazine catch locks securely.

If this is a concern, sanding down the protruding points on the baseplate can make magazine insertion smoother.

Lastly, while many players initially purchase the gas magazine, they often end up preferring the CO2 magazine due to its stronger recoil. To fully enjoy this pistol, it's important to learn the correct gas-filling techniques. Of course, you can refill it however you like, but if you want to appear more professional and avoid gas wastage, feel free to check out my recommended method.
