S&W M&P 2.0 Compact vs CZ P10C

the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 vs. the czp 10 C let's check it out [Music] [Music] two pistols that have drawn a lot of attention recently is the czp 10 C and the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 compact this is Smith & Wesson's first stab at a serious compact to compete with the Glock 19 these are two pistols that are very similar but they have some differences the tradition of the Smith & Wesson but also the long-standing tradition of the cz so these are two good quality pistols and we're going to look at all the differences and similarities now one of the reasons why I wanted to put this review together is because there's a lot of excitement for both of these handguns obviously Smith & Wesson has been producing the MMP series for a number of years and there have been upgrades over time this is the 2.0 there are a lot of better upgrades to this pistol and have really caused a lot of excitement then we have the cz p10 seat which the trigger is one of the best triggers in a structure for our pistol but CZ has a reputation for double single action handguns starting out with a cz 75 and then moving on up but this is their first Stryker fire pistol the po7 was a polymer frame but it has the double single action so these two handguns are very comparable but there are some differences and so if you're looking for either one of these and because these are really hot ticket handguns right now I just really wanted to do a close comparison maybe give you some ideas on which one you might like so let's make sure that the guns are unloaded and they are now both are structure for our pistols both have polymer frames both have high quality parts in these handguns so they're both 9-millimeter and they both hold 15 and one one of the reasons why both of these pistols were introduced as they are is because of the Glock 19 it's funny but this is a size that a lot of companies have really tried to get their pistols down to and yet it continues to be a little bit bigger a little bit longer somewhere they just don't quite fit the Glock 19 size but I think we have two here that are very close somebody comes to the cz p10 see just a little bit at the front All Things Considered it's pretty much the same size here with the M&P 2.0 compact just a hair longer here but everything else is the same the czp 10 see 1 pound 9.8 ounces the smith and wesson 2.0 compact one pound ten point eight ounces the Glock 19 Gen 5 1 point 8 2 ounces now both of these handguns are what they consider compact they're not the full size even though cz hasn't come out with their full-sized version yet and they're not yet subcompact they're kind of that in-between where you can use this for a homeless gun it shoots like a full-size gun when you take it to the range you feel like it's a full size gun but yet it's a little more compact than some of the full-size like the Glock 17 or the full-size MP you have the capability of also being able to conceal carry this a little easier these are both nine-millimeter they're both 15 and 1 magazines both are steel magazines with polymer base plates we have witness holes on the side we have witness holes in the back for the cz then we have the orange follower for the cz which I really like and then we have the traditional gray follower of the Smith & Wesson now one advantage that we do have with the cz is we do have a bevel so magazines are easier to insert with the MMP 2.0 there's no bevel it's just pretty much straight in the great thing is the magazine has a natural angle to it so it makes it fairly easy to insert also both frames have a little cut here to be able to get that magazine out if you need to do a drill where you need to pull these out one thing the Smith & Wesson does offer is two spacers where you can use your full size n MP mags and then have the spacer one thing that cz offers but is not included or plus two base pads now these are the spacers that are included with the pistol and here we have a full size magazine when we put it in you can see this gap right here and the problem with that is sometimes you can over insert your magazine with the extender just slide it over the longer magazine and then it's a complete seamless fit right here and that gives you a little more grip ability but I would demonstrate it with the season but I don't have the extended base pads now we're going to look at the trigger action the guns are unloaded here with the cz you had this small little your safety what's this depressed little take up and a really short crisp snap reset very quick guys this is one of the best triggers for a polymer frame striker-fired pistol on the market with the Smith & Wesson M&P it has a pivot trigger which acts the same as the little trigger safety which is a trigger safety is we bring it back right about here there's a little bit of stacking a little bit of grit right there and then a heavier trigger pull it's much improved over the standard Smith & Wesson M&P triggers but it is not the same as your p10 C we're going to check reset right there pretty good not quite as good as the cz P 10 see as far as trigger pull weight 4 pounds 2.3 ounces as far as the Smith & Wesson 4.8 5 pounds and this is pretty much what I was getting 4 and 1/2 and just over 4 for the p10 see now the Smith & Wesson has upgraded their grip with the 2.0 it has a lot of aggressive texturing right here in fact it's almost too much if you're wearing it without an undershirt on if you're carrying it concealed I mean it has a lot of texturing it's pretty rough with the cz P 10 see it has some small little squares this is pretty aggressive both of them are aggressive both of them feel good in your hand the Smith & Wesson a 2.0 is a little bit more aggressive of when you're holding it now the trigger guard on the Smith & Wesson is rounded off while on the cz it's squared off but as far as size of the trigger guard the Smith & Wesson actually hangs down just a little bit while the cz points out just a little bit but they are large enough for gloved hands another difference is Smith & Wesson has three slots for the Picatinny rail while the cz only has one this makes it a little more adjustable especially if you're looking at more compact size weapons lights or lasers this makes it a little more easier to find something than the cz wood with the ones a lot very similar though to what the Glock has just one slide the serrations on the Smith & Wesson are kind of a scalloped almost like scales here with the season there are more slots while I like the Smith & Wesson allows you to get a decent purchase with the cz you have a lot more to grab hold of and it actually gives you a little more texturing than the Smith & Wesson but also on the front the scallops are very abbreviated so there's not a lot going on here here on the front you have more pronounced slide serrations now for me I only press check using my slide serrations and really the Smith & Wesson will give you enough to be able to do that but it's still a lot more advantage with the cz now one big thing is size and as I set these together they are pretty much other than this the trigger guard here and here the length is exact as far as the grip as you can see with the p10 C it does come out about 1/2 of a base pad larger so really guys this is technically pretty much the same exact size one thing about the slide though is that on the cz you have a bevel closer to the top but it's squared off at the bottom here with the MP it's a scalloped slide right here and there's a very small tool edge so you're getting a narrow area this larger but yet the top of the slide is actually smaller on the cz and again that is one thing that you'll want to check as far as a preference one's not better than the other they're just two different preferences both have three dot sights and they both are steel there's a little bit of a style difference between the two but pretty much the same another thing that's very similar with both is the bore axis is about the same now a lot of people just rack the slide but I really like to be able to use that slide release and the cz does give you a little extra but the Smith & Wesson does come out just a little bit so it gives you a little bit of a bump right here see these a little more flat and then of course we have ambidextrous so it's on the other side now one thing that the cz does have over the Smith & Wesson is the mag release we have our mag release here then we have the round oval for the Smith & Wesson but one of the big differences is the cz has ambidextrous mag release while the Smith & Wesson does not now you can switch the Smith & Wesson mag release so left-handed shooters can use it that way but out of the box the cz has ambidextrous right up front now one difference is the slide this is an armored Knight finish on the Smith & Wesson it is a stainless steel where the cz has a nitride finish in its carbon steel the barrel is also stainless steel it's a four inch barrel for each barrel actually 4.0 one inch barrel in the cz it has a cold hammer-forged barrel which they are excellent give you a lot of life probably extended more than just this stainless steel now there are a number of different grip options for both pistols one of the things about the compact is more of a straighter line it's an 18 degree angle whereas your cz has a little bit of that cz hump which is very ergonomic both handguns feel great in the hand they're fairly thin and they give you a really good feel to it if you want to add a little bit of a larger Park grip you can do that with the extensions I'm not gonna pull them all off but this one just has this whole piece comes off and then here we just have this back strap one thing too about the sights both have a cocking shelf for one-handed reloads which are really like on a self-defense pistol and there are a ton of aftermarket sight options for both pistols one thing though about the cz is that it will fit all your standard Glock 19 holsters so that gives you somewhat of an advantage I'm sure that this will fit all of your Smith & Wesson M&P holsters but since this is the compact it's going to be a little different but there will be a lot of holster options to come for sure now the cz only comes in nine-millimeter at this time but with the Smith & Wesson 2.0 compact you can get it in nine-millimeter or in 40 Smith & Wesson Endemol - think freedom you nisshin's for supplying the 9-millimeter ammunition you get a 5 percent discount using SOOC zero zero at Frida munitions calm and always a little loader is much better way to save the thumbs [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Applause] we were shooting freedom you nisshin's 115 grain Full Metal Jacket just their new manufacturer and these are easy to see targets shooting each handgun side-by-side they shot very similar I think a lot of that has to do with the low bore axis the trigger and the cz p10 see was definitely an advantage but to be honest with you just while shooting these side-by-side there wasn't a lot of difference I mean there just wasn't these are both based on similar designs and they pretty much functioned very well the magazine release was really easy to get to on the CC a little easier than on the Smith & Wesson but one big advantage the Smith & Wesson has is the slide stop and being able to drop that slide after a mag change was a lot easier with the Smith & Wesson than it was with the CCP 10 see even though the Smith & Wesson slide stop is a little smaller it has that little ledge and you can get hold of it and be able to drop that slide here on the cz it's larger but it's flat when it comes to wearing gloves the Smith & Wesson was easier to insert my finger with the cz I felt a little bit jammed and I was using some tactical gloves they're a little bit thicker but definitely there was a difference just with the trigger guard now we're going to disassemble both firearms and magazines are out and the chamber is clear now one thing about the Smith & Wesson it's a little bit different we're gonna bring back our slide and lock it into place you can pull the trigger now there's a little lever here it's marked in a kind of a light green bring it in the down position just like this take your takedown lever pull it around stock your slide and it comes right off and that way you don't have to pull the trigger with the p10 C you've got to pull the trigger pull it back about an eighth of an inch drop those two tabs and it comes right off the p10 C is on the bottom you can see the barrel right here is much more reinforced go ahead pull it off it does have a polymer guide rod flat spring Smith & Wesson has a stainless steel guide rod but also flat spring but take a look at the barrel difference we're gonna go ahead and pull it out to get a better look but guys that is seriously beefy for the cz here you can see the barrel ramp much more solid on the cz here pretty much traditional with most of your Stryker for our pistols here we have the inside of the slide a little different mechanism with the cz with the 2.0 you can tell that it's very similar especially to the Glock with the firing pin safety right here that's typically upfront but pretty much the same thing but one of the big differences with the Smith & Wesson is that there is a chassis built into the polymer it's stainless steel you can see some of it coming through here but it comes all the way through and this keeps the gun from flexing when you're firing it it gives it a little more strength now you have your locking blocks here and then you have your rear slide rails but that is a pretty long locking block that front slide rail compared to the cz which has a very short front slide rail and short rear and actually the locking block on the Smith is a little heavier so you can see that there are advantages and disadvantages between these two pistols on the inside for reassembly drop-in your barrel recoil spring and guide rod up in a barrel recoil spring guide rod with the Smith & Wesson you like it back drop your lever then we can bring it forward and then that little lever that's inside once you insert your magazine it goes back into place now as far as pros and cons both of these pistols are excellent choices it's really just all a matter of preference both our striker fire polymer-framed pistols both have the 15 and one both are just proven designs with companies that have been around for a long time with really high reputations the nitride finish on the carbon steel slide versus the stainless steel slide with an armored Knight finish which is a little bit different corrosion it's a little matte this has a little bit of a sheen to it the cold hammer-forged barrel the cz to me is a little bit more of an advantage than just the stainless steel even though this is an excellent quality barrel you have your front cocking serrations on the cz you have some very abbreviated cocking serrations here then with your mag release you have ambidextrous which this one is only on one side but it can be switched a little more aggressiveness on the Smith & Wesson but the cz has those little pyramids or the little squares that are very aggressive as well both have a number of different options for bag straps both have options for extended magazines sites are all metal they're three dot they're excellent really over all these pistols compare very closely together and so you know it's really just a matter of choice now one funny thing is about the price the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 compact retails for 569 while the CCP 10 C retails for $4.99 now don't let that fool you because on the street price these are very close to the same price gun Pro deals the CCP 10 C was listed at 443 for the 2.0 Smith & Wesson for 67 so about a $25.00 difference between the two as far as actual price which is pretty insignificant compared to the two pistols so one of the things that always recommend when trying to choose especially between two pistols is to go to a shop that is well stocked that has both and then put them in your hand try them out see your natural point of aim even better yet if they have a range you can take these out and try them out and that always really helps so those are just some things to think about and consider if you're looking for the two but guys honestly for me when I'm going and picking out something it's just what I like is what I ended up choosing as long as it's quality as long as they're accurate and as long as they're reliable you're good to go now I want to thank gun Pro deals for sending the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 compact for the original test and evaluation I ended up buying this and they also have the cz P 10 C on their website it's a great one to check out I appreciate their sponsorship and get all kinds of different pistols to bring to you guys and do things like this running a head-to-head so check out gun Pro deals calm be strong be of good courage god bless america long live the Republic and in the pzp 10c of course the first thing we're gonna do is make sure that the guns are unloaded when it comes to gloved hands the Smith & Wesson ones that wins out this one twos out but this one ones out know it's really crazy is they had that one dog who kept barking now they've added two more oh well you
