The full size polymer CZ P-10F model is used by armed forces, sport shooters, and those who have a firearm for the protection of their home and property. It is less frequently carried concealed, as you cannot easily hide it under a T-shirt. Even if you do not carry the firearm concealed, you cannot do without a holster. What are your options and how to navigate them? We will look at that now.
Holster according to the model
The model is the first thing according to which you choose a holster. Holsters are manufactured according to a precise mold and only specific models fit into them. In this category, you will find holsters for the CZ P-10F in 9x19 and .45ACP calibers.
You will find holsters for standard factory models with us, or models equipped with a red dot. If you install optics, a frame mount, or other accessories on the pistol that fundamentally change its profile, expect that you will need a custom-made holster.
Kydex or leather?
In our offer, you will find holsters made of kydex or leather. From our own experience and the feedback of our customers, we have concluded that these are the two most sensible materials for the production of pistol holsters.
Leather holsters are preferred by fans of classic materials. However, owners of the CZ P-10F model more often reach for kydex from a purely practical point of view. Take a look at the overview of the advantages and disadvantages of these two materials.
Kydex: A highly functional material
Advantages:
-
Constant shape: It doesn't stretch, loosen, or compress. The holster remains open, allowing you to easily return the pistol with one hand.
-
Safety: The firearm is held firmly inside. You’ll recognize the correct seating by the characteristic "click" heard upon insertion.
-
Fast draw: Kydex offers minimal resistance and doesn't stick to the gun like leather. You only need to overcome resistance at the start—where the holster grips the trigger guard—after which it slides out perfectly smoothly. You'll appreciate this in situations where every second counts.
-
Easy maintenance: Or rather, practically none. Simply wiping the holster with a damp cloth is enough.
-
"Indestructibility": The material withstands sun, sweat, frost, oil, and most chemicals.
Disadvantages:
-
Inconvenience: This is especially noticeable with IWB holsters. The hard plastic can press against you, and the larger the gun model, the more pronounced this becomes.
-
Wear and tear of the firearm: Abrasion may occur where the gun rubs against the holster (on the trigger guard and the edges of the slide).
Our tip: Holsters from RH Holsters feature a very smooth interior finish that minimizes this issue.

Leather: Aesthetics and classics
Advantages:
-
Comfort: The greatest benefit. Leather is a pleasant, soft material that adapts to both the body and the firearm. it doesn't press against you even if you carry the weapon all day.
-
Saves the firearm's surface: It doesn't abrade the finish like plastic does.
-
Style: For many, cold plastic is visually uninteresting. Leather, by contrast, looks stylish and elegant.
Disadvantages:
-
Maintenance: As a natural material, leather is pliable and adaptive, but it also "works" and requires proper care. It needs treatment with special leather products to prevent cracking or drying out, or conversely, cleaning if it becomes soaked with sweat.
-
Flexibility: Over time, the leather may soften so much that the opening "collapses" after drawing, meaning you might need both hands to reholster the pistol.
-
Requires time: A new holster may be tight; it takes time to break in before the firearm can be drawn and inserted easily. Conversely, after long-term use, there is a risk of stretching and excessive play.
Summary
The majority of holsters for the CZ P-10F in our selection are made of Kydex. Given what the CZ P-10F is typically used for, Kydex appears to be the more practical choice. However, we haven't forgotten those who simply prefer the feel and fit of leather.
OWB or IWB?
Do you want to carry your pistol on the outside of the waistband (OWB – outside the waistband) or from the inside of your trousers (IWB – inside the waistband)? Each holster is designed to be worn in only one of these ways.
The dimensions of the CZ P-10F aren't exactly ideal for concealed carry, but that doesn't mean you won't want to carry it inside your waistband. It depends on which method personally provides you with greater comfort and better serves the purpose for which you use the pistol.
Choose according to personal preferences
Choosing the right holster isn't just about the facts; it’s primarily about personal preference. This includes your relationship with specific materials and carrying styles, how you use the firearm, as well as your physique and which holster feels best for you to wear.
