Are you familiar with the saying " it never rains but it pours ". Well today it definitely rained on my parade. Stopped by my gunsmith to pick up my P-10. He installed the replacement striker with a HBI 3.5 pound striker spring and in the process of reinstalling the striker block spring it broke. He said this spring is very thin and fragile. He did polish the trigger components and the trigger is now awesome but the striker block spring will need to be replaced. I called CZ-USA Customer Service and explained what happened and they told me to send my P-10 back to them and they will install a new striker block spring along with a new slide cover plate to address the so called "fatal flaw". I asked if they are replacing the original striker with a new and update one and was told no. They still believe the problem is heat related and limited to a small batch. As soon as I receive my shipping label my P-10 will be off for repair. They quoted me 4-6 weeks but said in all likelihood it will be done a lot sooner than that. I really like the P-10 and am looking forward to the day when it is trouble free. No intensions of getting rid of it at this point.

Why don't you just sell it for $400 and buy another one? Start fresh.

I'm at 1,450 rounds without a single failure. I'll probably have another 200 through it by the end of the weekend. I've had two first time shooters fire it with no issues. I've used a lot of different grains and pressures. I've had it fully disassembled three times. I've carried it every day for the last two months.. I love the thing. You got a lemon in a bad batch. Try changing your serial number.


I'm so glad to hear that your P-10 has been problem free. Hopefully mine has good bones and can be repaired to perform like yours. Only time will tell.

I can't replicate the striker issue and mine came with the beveled slide end cap so I hope when I finally put some rounds down range it will still be problem free.

Is there any reason you couldn't use a better striker block spring without increasing the trigger pull too much?

I haven't had any issues shooting mine through a bit over 1000 rounds but it sure has gotten hinky to field strip.

It's like the striker is getting hung and won't release on trigger pull after pulling the take down tabs. You have to pull the slide back to just before reset in order to get it to release so that you can strip it.

It didn't do that to start even after the HBI trigger, but has cropped up in the last few hundred rounds or so.

Received shipping label today and sent my P-10 back to CZ-USA Warranty to have my striker block spring replaced and a new slide cover plate installed to correct the fatal flaw. Its scheduled to arrive on Monday. I also discussed the issue of how tough it is to released the slide using the slide release button and was told that there is nothing they can do for that problem. They told me the more I use it the easier it will become. Not a real problem for me since I used the slingshot method to release the slide. So for now is just a waiting game until I get my P-10 back. If they resolve all of my issues it will be worth the wait.

After 250 rounds my R and L controls were butter. Curious to see how my new one will be today.

I have a newer P10c. The slide cover has a recessed cut in it for the striker sleeve to sit in. My cover is very tight with no movement. The plate is also ramped at the bottom to allievte it if it were to hang up.

Sounds like a simple slide cover pate mod did the trick? Nifty - could you post a picture or two, if you don't mind?

I am also interested in the "new" design of the slide cover.  I'd be interested in hearing from Stuart.  Wonder if CZ Customs will be modifying their slide cover to seat the striker sleeve...

Me tooo.   I want to see how they got the slide cover to hold the firing pin case from flopping around during recoil. Curious minds wanna know..

Yup. Was just too tired last night...

Ramped...


...and recessed.
