Interesting ?feature? of P10C

[M1A4ME]

When I was having my failure to fire issues with the M&P 9MM (2nd time around) I got out my Glock, Colt, XDM pistols and did the pencil test with all of them.

Colt - will bounce a pencil off the ceiling (hammer fired)
Glock - will bounce the pencil up off the breech face, but not out of the barrel
XDM - will bounce the pencil up out of the barrel about 6 or 8 inches (all the way out, just high enough to catch it with your other hand)
M&P - same as the Glock, very light strike compared to the XDM (Glock, XDM and M&P all striker fired) but about the same as the Glock.

I never tried any of them with the slide/barrel pushed partially to the rear.

That is not a feature - that is a not quite right disconnector, allowing the firing pin to move while the weapon is out of battery, can be a very bad juju. You might see if yours needs to go to CZ-USA for repairs.

Yea, I mentioned this before.

On my P10c I had a reload (that works in everything else) fail to fully chamber.  That doesn't bother me.  Shallow throat, I get it, I'll adjust my OAL.  What DID give me an uneasy feeling was the fact I dropped the striker by pressing the trigger and even left a little ding in the primer while the wrapon was visually out of battery.  Not what I'd call a "feature".

Okay gents (I presumed there are no ladies on this post, please excuse me if I'm wrong  ) I have been waiting to test your concern/not concern in a controlled environment.  Test gun is my P10C with about 600 rds down range, nothing special.

I sized a few 9mm cases, primed them, and ONLY PRIMER in the sized case, no end cap, nothing that even close to a bullet.  Basically a wide open mouth EMPTY CASE.  Chambered the sized case that has only live primer. With safety glasses and ear pro. in, I pushed the muzzle of the P10C against a board with a hole drilled through (to relieve gas pressure).  Back stop is basically the berm behind target stand.  Proceeded to push the muzzle against this board until slide moved back and just before barrel unlocking, pulled the trigger and...Nothing! Just the slide being moved forward by the striker spring force.  Yes it went 'click', but just the striker being released off the 'sear' plate but the striker blocking pin did not allow the striker to go forward.  Repeat a few times with primed cases and again, nothing happened.  Striker did not impact the live primer unless the slide is fully forward without any pressure against the muzzle.

There you have it.  The striker blocking pin did its job.

Glad yours did.  Maybe I should call CZ, about mine, because BOTH times it happened to me (live round, pressed trigger without noticing weapon out of battery) I had light dents in the primer.  While I don't like betting fingers on it, I doubt it can get a hard enough strike from that far out tho.

I'll run the primer only test, to confirm, when I get my slide back (this week woohoo!)

P320 does it, as well.

But the P320 will also fire if you drop it, soo...
