Others may disagree, but the striker safety on the P10 (and Glock) is largely superfluous. I imagine it was designed at the urging of some lawyer or marketing exec.
The main “drop safety” is going to be facilitated by the tabbed trigger. Whilst the trigger is blocked by the tab, the trigger bar is also blocked from vertical movement by a cross pin. In addition, when the weapon is in battery, the striker is only partially cocked. The striker safety would only ever be employed if there was a catastrophic failure of the sear surfaces, but then the striker is still only partially cocked.
In this case, the striker safety is kinda like stapling your pants to your waist while wearing a belt and suspenders.
There is one very popular handgun on the market that has a fully cocked striker being held by a floating sear without a tabbed trigger. In that case, the striker safely is pretty much the only active internal safety with the exception of a passive-secondary sear surface. If you disassemble it, you’ll find the spring on that safety is about half the thickness of the CZ one. In this case, you really are not wearing a belt.
Peace.
