Česká zbrojovka, or CZ as we call it in the States, is following suit with many other manufacturers in 2026 by offering an Aimpoint COA-compatible option.
As a quick reminder, Aimpoint and Glock held an exclusivity agreement for one year. In 2025, only Glock offered COA-compatible pistols with the Aimpoint A-CUT optic footprint. At the 2026 SHOT Show, that agreement ended. Since then, a host of pistols have been introduced with COA optic options. But unlike some of the others on the market, CZ is kicking things up a notch with a new ported version of the popular P-10 C pistol.
Let’s take a look at the CZ P-10 C Ported COA.

FEATURES
The CZ P-10 C Ported COA builds on the proven P-10 C platform by pairing factory porting with a premium optic package, delivering a compact 9mm pistol ready to perform straight out of the box. Its ported barrel and slide are engineered to reduce muzzle rise and improve sight recovery, helping shooters stay on target during extended strings of fire.
Complementing that setup is a factory-mounted Aimpoint COA red dot, eliminating the need to source, install, and zero an optic after purchase.
The pistol retains the characteristics that have made the P-10 C a popular choice among enthusiasts. The ergonomic grip and crisp striker-fired trigger remain unchanged, delivering the familiar handling and shootability of the original platform. Chambered in 9mm, the pistol features a 4-inch barrel and a 15+1 capacity, balancing concealability and performance.
ZOOMING OUT
All these features combine to create a very compelling pistol. I argue that the P-10 series should be more popular than it is, and I think the package will prove to many doubters how great a value CZ offers. If you need a new primary training or defensive pistol, this should be on your radar.
