CZ DUTY 4.0 C
Specs at a glance
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.
Capacity on the short-grip is 15+1, with a 17+1 option through the extended floor plate. Height is 135 mm (5.3 in) and the empty weight 770 g (27.2 oz). If you carry, this is the DUTY to look at; if you mostly shoot at the range, see the F.
No external safety here. The firing pin block, trigger safety and trigger-bar safety handle drop safety, and the holster handles the rest. CZ sells the same gun with a thumb safety lever as the MS model.
CZ built the DUTY around a registered chassis that the polymer grip frame wraps around, the same idea that lets a shooter change frame size without buying a new registered gun. The trigger is a refined SFDA striker unit, 25 ± 4 N (5.6 ± 0.9 lbs) pull, 4 mm (0.16 in) reset, 9 ± 1 mm (0.4 ± 0.04 in) travel. The slide takes optics by direct mounting; CZ's product photos show Holosun, Aimpoint and Shield units in place. Sights are fixed, the 4-inch barrel is not threaded.
Best fit: daily carry, a home-defense gun that also rides along, and new shooters who want one pistol for everything. Shooters coming from a CZ 75 will recognize the grip angle; shooters coming from any other striker gun will notice the trigger first.
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.

Frequently asked questions
- Is this a kit or a finished gun?
- A finished, serialized factory pistol from CZ; nothing to assemble and no jig involved.
- How tall is the full-size compared to the compact?
- The F stands 143 mm and the C 135 mm; length and width are the same at 188 mm and 33 mm.
- 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.
