There is an absolutely fascinating thread on the CZ forum, though started on reddit, where a poster figured out the safety on the P series is functionally useless. The moderators closed the thread for no obvious reason and the poster clearly proved their point that no one else seemed to have noticed.
CZ responses seem to suggest they avoided the correct assessment of the poster.
Worth the read

You’re almost like a one man “wayback machine” when it comes to firearm rumor.
I have no idea who Inferno451 is. They seem to have performed a test with some degree of rigor. CZ also sent them a response that doesn’t, to me, seem unreasonable and whether CZ “avoided the correct assessment of the poster” and whether the poster “clearly proved their point” seems a lot more subjective than you seem to suggest above.
CZ’s response seems to suggest that the manner in which the user tested the firing pin safety of the P10 is incorrect as it tests the slide in absence of the frame. Essentially that testing one part of the system in absence of the rest of the system can yield a false result. There are a number of the usual CZ forum members commenting as well, asking the OP to point to one documented case of this failure actually happening. Of course to get into that in your comment above, you’d have to acknowledge that the poster was talking about 1 of the 3 internal safeties of the P10 (not all of them as a whole as using the generic term safety might suggest), that the poster themselves acknowledged the other safeties should prevent a discharge from a drop, and that in order to get a primer to detonate the poster had to draw the striker further to the rear than the striker is at rest in the slide.
As for closing the thread for no reason, you seem to leave the door open that this was some attempt at a cover up. Certainly confirmation bias is a thing and no doubt some fans of CZs don’t want to see/read negative stories of their beloved products, especially on a CZ forum. At the same time, the poster had made his points, acknowledged the limitations with his own testing, and was spreading what is an unsubstantiated claim that a firearm was at least partially unsafe. Is stopping that a coverup, or an attempt to prevent rumors from running wild? I honestly don’t know, but again it seems subjective. I do agree the thread is worth a read, though I might not present it the same as you.
I don’t come to this forum much anymore. It’s good to read some familiar names on occasion and even though you and I have disagreed in the past, you are a contributing member who has added to this community. I just wish you took some of that enthusiasm that you seem to have for reading about firearms online and asked some more objective questions to learn rather than seemingly being more interested in gossip.
