CZ DUTY 4.0 C MS
About this product
Builders and non-builders both shop here, and this listing is for the second group, or the first group on a day when they want a gun that is already done. CZ's DUTY 4.0 is a new striker-fired 9mm sold in four forms: the C compact, the F full-size, and MS versions of each that add a manual thumb safety. The number is on the internal chassis, so the fiberglass-reinforced polymer frame is a modular piece around it.
Compare it to a finished build and the specs hold up. A 4-inch barrel, fixed sights, 188 mm overall and 33 mm across the slide. The optics cut is direct-mount, and CZ's own images show Holosun, Aimpoint and Shield dots sitting on it. The SFDA trigger pulls about 5.6 pounds with a 4 mm reset and 9 mm of travel. Capacity is 15+1 for the C and 17+1 for the F, with extended base plates adding two rounds. MSRP for the new release is $729.
Where the P-10 had a registered polymer frame, the DUTY 4.0 moves the serial number to an internal modular chassis. That is the headline. The rest follows the modern service-pistol formula done carefully: a striker SFDA trigger at 25 ± 4 N (5.6 ± 0.9 lbs) (4 mm (0.16 in) reset, 9 ± 1 mm (0.4 ± 0.04 in) travel), a 188 mm (7.4 in) long slide with direct-mount optics cuts, fixed sights and a 4-inch barrel without a thread.
This is the shorter grip of the two DUTY frames: 135 mm (5.3 in) from the top of the slide to the base plate, 770 g (27.2 oz) empty, 15+1 rounds standard and 17+1 with the extended plate. The slide and 4-inch barrel are the same as the full-size gun, so it shoots like one.
A external safety is the one thing that separates this model from its sibling. It sits beside the three automatic safeties, firing pin block, trigger safety and trigger-bar safety, and does not change the trigger pull.
The CZ DUTY 4.0 C MS suits anyone who wants a modern optics-ready 9mm with CZ's grip and a trigger that is better than the class average: concealed carry where your state allows it, home defense, and range time that does not need a full-size grip.
Like every factory firearm on this site, the DUTY 4.0 goes to an FFL dealer rather than to your house. Name the dealer at checkout, and we ship the pistol there with tracking. The dealer runs the transfer paperwork and applies whatever your state requires at pickup. If you have not used a dealer for a transfer before, confirm they accept them before ordering.
