CZ DUTY 4.0 C
Specs at a glance
About this product
Nothing goes on this site unless it is sitting on the shelf, and CZ's new DUTY 4.0 is on it now. For the customer who wants a complete, factory-serialized 9mm instead of a frame and a parts list, this is the one listing to open. It is a striker-fired 9x19mm with the serial on an internal chassis, a modular fiberglass-reinforced polymer grip frame, a slide milled for direct-mount red dots and fixed sights.
Stock covers both sizes. The C compact runs 15+1, 17+1 with the extended base plate, 770 g, 135 mm tall. The F full-size runs 17+1, 19+1 extended, 780 g, 143 mm tall. Both use a 4-inch barrel without threading, measure 188 mm long and 33 mm wide, and share the refined SFDA trigger rated 5.6±0.9 lbs with a 4 mm reset. On the MS models a manual thumb safety joins the firing pin block, trigger safety and trigger bar safety. CZ's MSRP is $729 for every version.
Under the DUTY name sits a serial-numbered modular chassis, a 1.3 in (33 mm) wide fiberglass-reinforced polymer frame, a 102 mm barrel and a trigger CZ rates at 25 ± 4 N (5.6 ± 0.9 lbs) with a 0.16 in (4 mm) reset. The slide is optics-ready by direct mount rather than an adapter plate. Fixed sights come standard, and the barrel is not threaded.
Compact means 15+1 rounds in a frame 5.3 in (135 mm) high. Fit the extended base plate and it holds 17+1. At 27.2 oz (770 g) unloaded it sits between a pocket pistol and a full-frame gun, which is exactly where a carry-and-bedside 9mm belongs.
There is no external safety on this model. Drop safety comes from the firing pin block, the trigger safety and the trigger bar safety, the way most modern striker-action pistols are set up. If you want a thumb lever, the MS version has one.
Who is it for: concealed carry where your state allows it, home defense, and range time that does not need a full-frame grip. If you already shoot a P-10, the DUTY is the next step in the same family, with a new chassis and the optics done right.
In stock means it leaves our warehouse quickly, but a complete pistol still has to go to an FFL dealer rather than to you. Pick that dealer at checkout. When the DUTY 4.0 arrives, the dealer processes the transfer and applies the handgun rules of your state at pickup. Frames and parts in the same order ship to your door the normal way.

Frequently asked questions
- Which DUTY 4.0 versions are listed here?
- C compact, F full-size, and the MS versions of each with a manual thumb safety.
- Does the DUTY 4.0 have a threaded barrel?
- No. The 4-inch barrel comes plain from the factory.
- Does the CZ DUTY 4.0 C take CZ P-10 magazines?
- CZ lists the DUTY with its own 15-round magazine and an extended base plate for 17+1. P-10 magazine fit is not confirmed, so plan on DUTY magazines.
- Is the compact easy to shoot?
- It shares the 4-inch barrel and slide with the full-size gun, so the sight radius is the same. Only the grip is shorter.
