CZ DUTY 4.0 C
Specs at a glance
About this product
Price per unit is how everything is listed on this site, so here is the number for CZ's newest pistol first: the DUTY 4.0 carries a $729 MSRP in either size. For that you get a striker-fired 9x19mm with a serialized internal chassis, a modular fiberglass-reinforced polymer grip frame, a 4-inch non-threaded barrel, fixed sights and a slide cut for direct red dot mounting. It is a current new release, not clearance stock.
The C compact is 135 mm tall, weighs 770 g and feeds 15+1 rounds, rising to 17+1 with the extended base plate. The F full-size is 143 mm tall, weighs 780 g and feeds 17+1, rising to 19+1 extended. Each is 188 mm long and 33 mm wide. The refined SFDA trigger is set at 25 N, roughly 5.6 lbs, with 9 mm of travel and a 4 mm reset. Order the MS variant if you want a manual thumb safety alongside the firing pin block, trigger safety and trigger bar safety.
Pick the C when the gun has to disappear under a cover garment. It gives up two rounds to the service-size model (15+1 against 17+1) and about 8 mm of grip height, and in return it is 5.3 in (135 mm) tall and 27.2 oz (770 g) light.
The standard model skips the manual thumb safety and keeps the three passive ones: firing pin block, trigger safety and drawbar safety. Same chassis, same trigger and slide as the MS; only the lever is missing.
Where the P-10 had a serialized 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) (0.16 in (4 mm) reset, 9 ± 1 mm (0.4 ± 0.04 in) travel), a 7.4 in (188 mm) long slide with direct-mount optics cuts, fixed sights and a 102 mm barrel without a thread.
The CZ DUTY 4.0 C suits anyone who wants a modern optics-ready 9mm with CZ's grip and a trigger that is better than the class average: daily carry, a nightstand gun that also rides along, and new owners who want one pistol for everything.
A frame kit ships straight to you; the DUTY 4.0 does not, because it is a complete serialized pistol. Choose the FFL dealer who will receive it when you check out, and that dealer runs the transfer paperwork and applies the rules of your state at pickup. The listed price covers the pistol itself.

Frequently asked questions
- Are the C and F priced differently?
- CZ's suggested retail price is $729 for the line. Check the listing for the current price on each variant.
- What does the extended base plate do?
- It raises capacity by two rounds: 17+1 on the C compact and 19+1 on the F full-size.
- 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.
