r/CZFirearms

Hey everyone, I’m ordering a shadow 2 carry tomorrow at my lgs. I traded my p365 legion build in originally to grab a 2011 but when I was at the shop the guy I work with grabbed a s2c. As dead set as I was on a 2011 with their triggers and reset, the shadow 2 felt like it was made for my hands. My question is, coming from the striker fired world to now switching to da/sa and the Cz platform altogether, is there anything I should do with it when it arrives? I’ve looked at new grips from vytal as well as base pads but I know those are pretty much just aesthetics. Is there anything that needs to be done performance/parts wise?

Hey y'all,

I'm new to firearms, and my first pistol is the CZ P-10C. I wanted to get a red dot for it, but I realized mine isn't the optics-ready version, which I didn't know was even a thing when I bought it. I'm going down a rabbit hole trying to figure out the best solution, but I am still naive to know which route to go.

From what I can tell, there are two options.

There's a gunsmithing shop near my house (haven't been yet) that I read online can modify the slide to take a red dot.

Or I could buy a new optics-ready slide, which I'm assuming is basically ready to take a red dot without much extra work.

Has anyone been down either route? The slide looks like it's about $150 online, which I'd guess is cheaper than paying a gunsmith to mill my current one. Is that right?

Thanks!
