CZ DUTY 4.0 C MS

About this product

Across Kansas, a 9mm that rides in a truck console all week and goes to the range on Saturday needs to be simple and tough. CZ's new DUTY 4.0 fits that life. It is a striker-fired 9x19mm with a fiberglass-reinforced polymer frame and a serialized internal chassis, so the grip frame is a modular part. The barrel is 4 inches and not threaded, the sights are fixed, and the slide takes a red dot by direct mount.

Kansas shooters who want a belt gun will lean toward the C compact: 15+1 rounds, 17+1 with the extended base plate, 770 g and 135 mm tall. Those who want a full grip for the range will prefer the F full-size: 17+1, 19+1 extended, 780 g and 143 mm tall. Either one measures 188 mm long by 33 mm wide. Trigger pull is about 5.6 lbs, reset 4 mm. Order the MS version if you want a manual thumb safety added to the three internal safeties. MSRP is $729.

The C is the compact frame. It stands 135 mm (5.3 in) tall, weighs 770 g (27.2 oz) with an empty magazine and carries 15+1 rounds of 9mm, or 17+1 once the extended base plate is fitted. Short enough to hide under a shirt, long enough to get every finger on the grip.

Three things define the DUTY 4.0. First, a registered modular chassis: the registered part is inside, the grip module around it is modular. Second, the trigger, a striker SFDA rated at 25 ± 4 N (5.6 ± 0.9 lbs), 4 mm (0.16 in) reset, 9 ± 1 mm (0.4 ± 0.04 in) travel, which is short and repeatable for a service pistol. Third, a direct-mount optics-ready slide, shown by CZ with Holosun, Aimpoint and Shield dots fitted, so a optic sits low without a stack of plates.

The MS model carries a frame-mounted manual 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.

Who is it for: daily carry, a bedside gun that also rides along, and new shooters who want one pistol for everything. 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.

Your DUTY 4.0 ships to the Kansas FFL dealer you choose at checkout, or to a dealer in another state if you live elsewhere. That dealer does the transfer paperwork and applies the rules of that state at pickup. We do not ship complete pistols to a home address. Choose your dealer before ordering so the pistol has a clear destination.
