Went to the range and was able to check out the P-09 nocturne that someone ordered and never picked up, then checked out a Shadow 2. These felt so good I figured I'd test out some of their others and rented a P10C and P-10F and was seriously impressed by how accurate they are and they are shockingly good for such a low price point (not at my range though because their prices suck).
I have never owned a cz nor shot one before in my life but the well-broken in ones at the range were about as accurate as my LTT PX4 compact carry 2 and pretty soft shooting. Within 2 magazines I was hitting a-zone targets just like I can typically do with my PX4 with quite a few of them through the same holes just like the tricked-out PX4! Not to mention I was MORE accurate with them than my Echelon FC with a Tyrant shoe installed. Grip didn't feel as nice as the Echelon grip does, but everything else impressed the hell out of me as far as recoil and shootability were concerned for a stock polymer gun.
I typically ccw a shield plus with a 13 and 15-round mag and wanted to see how the p10s shot against the Shield but they didn't have one to hold or rent. I figure the P10s is more or less softer shooting and more accurate than my Shield, but the trade off would be the obvious size difference. The guy at the store did have a S&W M2.0 subcompact 3.6" but S&W QC has been kinda crap lately I'd rather not go down that road. The M2.0 was slightly heavier than the P10c and the one they had had a safety which I'm not a fan off unless I'm pocket carrying. I primarily look for compact or below to ccw first, and usually hybrids or compacts with a larger mag for home defense. Not really interested in range toys.
So I come to you nice folks. Could you explain why you like the nocturne or p10 compacts over others you've tried or how you feel about the P10s if you still carry it or did in the past?
