About this product
CZ has rolled out a fresh striker-fired 9mm, and it lands here with every version in one place. The DUTY 4.0 comes as the C compact and the F full-size, and both are offered with or without a manual thumb safety, marked MS on the safety models. Under the fiberglass-reinforced polymer grip sits a serialized internal chassis, which is the registered part, so the grip frame around it is modular. Every model carries a 4-inch barrel, fixed sights and a slide cut for direct-mount red dots.
For a buyer shopping across brands, the numbers are easy to compare. The compact holds 15+1, or 17+1 with the extended base plate, and the full-size holds 17+1, or 19+1 extended. The trigger is CZ's refined SFDA design with a pull around 5.6 pounds, a 4 mm reset and 9 mm of travel. Width is 1.3 inches on either size, overall length is 7.4 inches, and the MSRP is $729 for a brand-new service pistol.
Compact means 15+1 rounds in a frame 5.3 in (135 mm) high. Fit the longer base plate and it holds 17+1. At 27.2 oz (770 g) unloaded it sits between a pocket pistol and a service-size gun, which is exactly where a carry-and-bedside 9mm belongs.
The MS model carries a frame-mounted external safety on top of the firing pin block, trigger safety and trigger bar safety. Everything else, chassis, trigger, slide and optics cut, is the same as the version without the lever.
What is new under the slide is the registered modular chassis. The serial number lives on the internal chassis, not on the polymer grip, so the grip frame is a part you can change while the gun stays the same gun. Around it CZ put a reworked SFDA striker trigger, rated at 25 ± 4 N (5.6 ± 0.9 lbs) with a 0.16 in (4 mm) reset and 9 ± 1 mm (0.4 ± 0.04 in) of travel, and a slide cut for direct-mount optics. CZ's own photos show it wearing Holosun, Aimpoint and Shield reflex sights.
Best fit: concealed carry where your state allows it, home defense, and range time that does not need a service-size grip. Shooters coming from a CZ 75 will recognize the grip angle; shooters coming from any other striker gun will notice the trigger first.
