Yes. It is my understanding that, if your pistol was made after the upgrades, it does not have the rotating striker issue. Look for the notch at the 3:00 O'clock position on the striker cover plate. If you have the notch, (supposedly) you're g2g.Has CZ fixed the striker plate/striker rotation issue with these pistols yet?
I own and enjoy quite a few CZs (CZ 75B, a few CZ 82s, a P07, vz.58, and a Scorpion Evo 3), but have been hesitant to get into the P10c due the repeated reported issues due to this design flaw, which is honestly very uncharacteristic for CZ products.
ETA - you say that a defect is "very uncharacteristic". I agree, I have a P01 that has been nothing but amazing. In all fairness, however, the entire thing is uncharacteristic for CZ. I mean - it is (almost) their first striker fired pistol. It'd be like a pro basketball player taking a shot a football. With that in mind, I'd say they came pretty close to hittin the mark.
I was just saying I agree - flawed pistols ARE out of character for them BUT the whole thing is out of character for them. It is not their game, it is not what they do, it is (almost) their first striker fired pistol.I'm not sure exactly what you are getting at. I was just indicating that my experience with CZ is that their products are generally well-designed and tested before hitting the market, and don't require customers to discover design flaws, unlike some other manufacturers *cough... SIG... cough... Ruger.* Of course, no company is perfect (well, Glock claims to be). I recall the first-gen P07 had issues with frame bulging, but the issue was cosmetic and didn't inhibit function.
Not sure about the sports analogy. The P10C is not CZ's first striker-fired pistol, and the technology isn't exactly new.
What I am glad to hear is that CZ has corrected this issue in new P10Cs.

If Glock made a hammer fired pistol, I'd expect 'em to be a little off their game.
OhioGuy said:I'm a big fan of CZ, love their whole 75 line -- the Shadow II is a thing of beauty -- my primary range, HD, competition and CCW gun is a P-07 -- but I just cannot make myself love the P-10c.
LOL, the tragedy is that I don't actually have one! I guy I shoot with at the range has one, Shadow II with snazzy blue grip panels. Most beautifully weighted, smoothest running gun I think I've ever shot. Damn well better be for something like $1300! I just lust after it. Don't own one.If I was as happy with the Shadow II -- I don't have one -- as you seem to be, I'd not rush out to get a p10C, either.
But I suspect that the P-09 (with enhancements) may ultimately be the CZ IDPA/USPSA handgun of choice.
It took CZ a long time to drag/draw the Shadow II out of the basic 75 design, and 10+ years from now the P-07/P-09 may take us even farther -- Unless they develop a striker-fired gun with similar traits.
I still WANT a P-09, but I recognize that I don't NEED one.
