……The warranty request is filled out and I'm waiting on a return label as I type this. The gun became an instant paperweight……. a hard failure in the first 500 rounds has me losing trust in both guns and neither will likely ever replace my PCR on my hip.

Sorry to hear that, can you elaborate on the failure?  Am curious as I have 2 P10s- a older C and a non OR S.  Like them and only had 1 issue with the slide release spring slipping out of its catch.  Happened during an IDPA match of course and easily rectified.

Here's an old thread from 2019 talking about the US vs Czech guns. Not as detailed as you would like but I don't think anyone has gone into detail with it. Keep in mind the rollout of the P10C was anything but stellar and that was before they made them here. I finally bought a pair this year but I wouldn't have considered one of the early guns with the issues they had. I couldn't pass them up at the price point they are at now. The definitely got the kinks ironed out at this point.

Thank you!  That post was very informative actually.  I appreciate it.  The original posting person says the differences in fit and finish about the same and that he actually liked the outside finish of the slide in the USA made one better, so that was interesting. However, if you read on the second page, one of our members who seems to be very detail orientated like me said he noticed a lot more slop/travel in the trigger.  That would be a fit and finish issue I was suspecting from USA made ones. Plus everyone who looked at the barrels carefully said that the USA made barrels were a lot more rougher (I think they meant the inside of the barrel which could matter).

I would wager that while most P10'C's will still function and not be less reliable in terms of where they are from, the Czech made ones are slightly better quality control or tighter tolerances from what I'm reading.
So you pick the one guy who said something negative but dismissed the 2nd post of what seems to be a gun shop owner saying they both are fine?

It's an inexpensive plastic striker fired gun that goes bang. I don't care what country it's from or the parts just as long as it works. Some will have issues some don't.

The gun that has failed has some bizarre issue with the striker. If you hold the trigger to fully to the rear (firing position) and reset the slide then allow the trigger to just reset all seems just fine. If you allow the trigger to move fully forward and then depress the trigger the slide moves to the rear with the trigger about 1/8th inch and seems to jam tight. I put the entire slide assembly from the failing gun on my other P10 and the same failure happens. I put the slide from the non failing gun on the frame where the failure was happening and it functions just fine. So this isolates the failure to the slide assembly. I then swapped the striker assembly from the non failing gun into the slide of the failing gun and it functioned as it should. I've narrowed it down to the striker assembly in the one gun but I cannot see a single thing wrong with it. This has to be a tolerance stacking issue.
The gun is under warranty and I'm going to make CZ fix it as such.

Thanks for the response- looks like you isolated the problem.  Hopefully CZ will make it right

I think I further isolated it today to the firing pin safety lever. I called CZ again and they refuse to send me the parts unless I buy them outright which I will not do on a gun under warranty so I'll wait on the fedex label and they can fix it and pay shipping both ways.
