Finding a direct-mount optic for the CZ P10-C is like hunting for the Holy Grail. Most options require a small pile of adapter plates, but C&H Precision delivers one of the very few truly direct-mount solutions—and it’s a winner. Installation is seamless, ditching the need for plates or adapters. Once mounted, the red dot offers a crisp sight picture and—get this—nearly a total co-witness with the stock iron sights, which is a rarity for this lineup.
Ergonomics and Installation
Installing the optic is as straightforward as assembling flat-pack furniture (but without the leftover screws). The direct mount design means a lower profile, which not only looks sleek but makes target acquisition snappy and intuitive. The optic sits low enough to give you a clean sight picture without feeling like your P10-C is wearing a top hat. The side-loading battery tray is a feature that deserves a round of applause. Honestly, this should be an industry standard. There’s nothing more obnoxious than having to remove your entire optic to replace a battery—only to remount, Lock-Tight the screws, and re-zero the firearm every time. With C&H Precision, swapping the battery is as easy as grabbing a snack from the fridge.
Optic and Reticle Performance
The red dot itself is bright and crisp, with adjustable brightness settings that don’t feel like they were programmed by someone who only uses flashlights on ‘stun’ mode. The glass is clear, and the dot remains sharp even in bright daylight. Reticle options add a nice touch for shooters who like a bit of customization.
Performance at the Range
At the range, the C&H Precision Red Dot held zero like it had separation anxiety. After a few boxes of ammo and some enthusiastic double-taps, the optic remained as steady as a seasoned barista's hand. Transitions were smooth, and the dot brightness adapted well to varying light conditions. The co-witness—or near co-witness—with the stock iron sights is a game changer, especially for those of us still honing our red dot skills. It’s reassuring to have that backup without having to crane your neck like you’re trying to spot your luggage on an airport carousel.
Manual Mishap?
Much like its cousin for the Walther PDP, the manual is still the optic's one hiccup. And by hiccup, I mean the instructions for changing the reticle simply aren’t there. Changing reticle options is a bit of a guessing game, but once sorted, the performance makes it worth the minor frustration. For readers that may have stumbled across this blog post trying to find information on how to change the reticle, simply press and hold the "Up" arrow for several seconds to cycle through the three options. Consider this your public service announcement.
Durability and Practicality
This optic isn’t just a pretty face. The build quality feels solid and dependable, with a ruggedness that suggests it could survive the occasional drop without turning into an overpriced paperweight. Weather resistance is on point, handling light rain without fogging or other annoyances. The buttons are tactile and responsive, a welcome feature for those of us who have tried to adjust an optic with gloves on and ended up feeling like we were playing Operation.
Final Verdict
For CZ P10-C owners, the C&H Precision Red Dot is as close to a must-have as it gets. A direct mount, reliable co-witness, and thoughtful features like the side-loading battery tray make it a standout choice. Aside from the manual's quirks, it’s hard to find a fault. Considering how few direct-mount options exist for the P10-C, this one sets the bar high.
Score: 9.5/10
If you’re in the market for a red dot that won’t make your P10-C look like it’s wearing a top hat, this is it. Clean installation, reliable performance, and no need to mess with adapter plates? That’s a win.
