In competition, how quickly you can reload will impact how quickly you can shoot, which means that it’s in your interest to practice reload drills till you can load and shoot as quickly as is safely possible.
Of course there are also implications associated with reload speed and concealed carry, too.
Suffice it to say that the faster you can reload, the better it is for you all around.
This post will break down the basics of a seamless reload as well as one upgrade you can make to your CZ-P10c that will personalize it and which may also help speed up reloads.
Hold the Magazine Properly
First things first, you need to get a proper grip on the CZ magazine if you want to speed up your reloads.
Grip the magazine with the baseplate on your palm, so that your index finger is pressed up along the front of the mag tube, almost so that the tip of your finger touches the first nose of the bullet at the top of the mag.
Holding the magazine like this, so that your finger is along the mag chute, gives you better control over where the mag is “pointed,” and reduces fumbling, minimizing the chance that you will basically “miss” the mag chute.
Guide It into the Mag Chute and Rack It Home
Before you start the actual process of reloading, bring the elbow of your shooting hand in close to your body, so that you’ll have better control over the P10c.
Jam your elbow into your side while engaging the magazine release if you haven’t dropped it yet; this will encourage the mag to drop free and fall out the bottom of the chute.
With your finger still resting alongside the front of the magazine, guide the top of the magazine into the mag chute, and then once it’s started home, remove your finger, flatten your palm against the base plate, and give the magazine a sharp rap upwards.
Hit the Range
This procedure, when followed correctly, will help improve your handling and can in an ideal situation speed up your reloads – although you are the most important piece of the equation.
If you want to get better at safe handling and you want to learn to reload faster, you will need to put in the time at the range.
Install a Compatible CZ Magwell
There is one part you can append to your CZ-P10c that might help you with reload speeds, and it’s a CZ magwell compatible with the gun.
A magwell is basically a small metal funnel that attaches to the base of the mag chute. In most instances, these parts are uninvasive and even a layperson could install them at home.
Functionally, the CZ magwell will flare out the base of the mag chute slightly, creating a slightly wider opening that funnels the magazine up and into it and which can help decrease fumbling between reloads.
All in all, installing a magwell and putting in the range time should be able to help you shave a few milliseconds off your reload speeds.
Moreover, if you get your CZ magwell from a seller like Anarchy Outdoors, you’ll be getting a part that you can easily install at home. Made of durable aluminum, their CZ magwells install via a single set screw and do not damage the handgun’s frame.
