If you’ve got a CZ P10C and you slapped a light on it… welcome to the “my old holster doesn’t fit anymore” club. This is the part where people try to force it, get frustrated, and end up buying twice.
Let’s keep it simple: a light-bearing setup needs a light-bearing holster. Not “maybe.” Not “kinda.” If the holster wasn’t made for the exact light, you’re basically gambling.

A standard CZ P10C holster will almost never fit once you add a weapon light.
Your holster must match the exact light model (and sometimes the exact mounting position).
The holster should cover the trigger guard fully, hold retention consistently, and not rely on “pressure on the light” as the only lockup.
If you want a safe buy, use the checklist below before you hit “Add to Cart.”
Here’s the quick “don’t get cooked” checklist:
Exact handgun model: CZ P10C (not “close enough,” not “P10S/P10F” unless the holster says it fits).
Exact light model: name it, don’t guess (example: “TLR-7A” is not the same as “TLR-7 Sub”).
Optic cut: are you running a red dot? If yes, you need an optic-ready cut.
Sight height: tall suppressor-height sights can snag on some holsters.
Carry style: IWB or OWB (and if IWB, are you doing appendix/AIWB?).
Handedness: right hand / left hand. Sounds obvious. People still mess this up.
Belt setup: your belt width + clip style has to match what you actually wear.
Retention: you should be able to set retention so it “clicks in” and stays put without being a nightmare draw.
Trigger coverage: the trigger guard must be fully covered. Always.
If any of these are unclear on the product page, pause and pick a different option.

If you’re running a red dot, don’t “hope” it clears. Get an optic-cut holster.
Other stuff that can change fit:
Taller sights.
Threaded barrel (depending on design).
Aftermarket controls (sometimes).
Different mounting hardware for the light.
If you’re not sure, the safest path is choosing a holster that explicitly supports:
Your exact light model
Optic cut (if you have one)
Your carry style (IWB/OWB)
People argue about this all day, but here’s the practical version:
Go IWB if:
You want concealment first.
You wear a solid belt and don’t mind dialing in comfort.
Go OWB if:
Comfort is priority.
You’re usually covered by a jacket/hoodie, or you prefer easier on/off.
Either way, the light-bearing part stays non-negotiable.

Buying a “CZ P10C holster” and forgetting you have a light attached.
Assuming “TLR” is one thing (it’s not).
Ignoring optic cut until the dot smacks the holster.
Chasing the cheapest option, then paying again when the fit is trash.
Over-tightening retention screws until the draw feels like you’re starting a lawnmower.
Will my regular CZ P10C holster fit if I add a light?
Almost never. The light changes the geometry, and the holster has to be molded for it.
Does retention lock on the light or the gun?
On many light-bearing holsters, retention is influenced by the light area. That’s why the exact light model matters so much.
Do I need a different holster for each light?
Usually yes. Different lights have different shapes, and holsters are typically designed around that exact profile.
IWB light-bearing is uncomfortable—am I doing something wrong?
Not necessarily. Comfort depends on belt, ride height, cant, body shape, and where you carry. Sometimes OWB is simply a better fit for your day-to-day.
