Need to replace CZ P10c Striker before issues occur?

[TNPhil]

After researching more into my new carry pistol, I have found several accounts of the striker/firing pin breaking or malfunctioning. My concern is should I go ahead and replace this before it becomes an issue? Just want to make certain the pistol when necessary. Appreciate the feedback and stay safe y'all.

This has been a common complaint for years. I'd like to think they either reworked the firing pin channel geometry or switched to better steel than the injection molded striker they were using. Either way, I've heard tale of some calling CZ to get a replacement before theirs actually broke, so they'd have one when it happens. I'm not sure if that works or if they ask for a pic of the broken part.

Either way, most people admit this comes with excessive dry-firing w/out snap caps or an O-ring. I think a gun should be able to tolerate dry-firing w/out harming the weapon, but if it's a known issue that might be a way to avoid it.

I'd still buy the tool hardened CGW striker if it were me, just to be safe.

Whatever you decide to do, I wish you the best of luck. I really hate when my favorite brand of gun has known issues and doesn't fix it right.
