CZ DUTY 4.0 C
Specs at a glance
About this product
Finishing a frame, fitting a slide and barrel, then testing the result takes a few evenings. CZ's DUTY 4.0 is the option for the evening you would rather spend shooting. It is a new-generation striker-fired 9x19mm, assembled and serialized at the factory, with the serial number on an internal chassis and a modular fiberglass-reinforced polymer grip frame around it. The 4-inch barrel is not threaded, the sights are fixed, and the slide is cut for a direct-mount red dot.
The compact C runs 15+1, or 17+1 with the extended base plate, at 770 g and 135 mm in height. The full-size F runs 17+1, or 19+1 extended, at 780 g and 143 mm. Both come in at 188 mm long and 33 mm wide. CZ's refined SFDA trigger pulls 25 N, around 5.6 lbs, with a 9 mm stroke and a 4 mm reset. Add the MS suffix for a manual thumb safety on top of the firing pin block, trigger safety and trigger bar safety. Suggested retail is $729.
Capacity on the carry-size is 15+1, with a 17+1 option through the extended base plate. Height is 5.3 in (135 mm) and the empty weight 27.2 oz (770 g). If you carry, this is the DUTY to look at; if you mostly shoot at the range, see the F.
This version has no external safety lever. It relies on three internal safeties, firing pin block, trigger safety and drawbar safety, and the trigger is the same as on the MS model. Shooters who prefer a lever should pick the MS.
Where the P-10 had a serial-numbered 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 four-inch barrel without a thread.
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.
Because the DUTY 4.0 is a complete serialized firearm, it travels to the FFL dealer you select at checkout rather than to your address. That dealer processes the transfer paperwork and applies the rules of your state at pickup. Slides, barrels and frame kits from the rest of the store still ship direct.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the DUTY 4.0 a new model?
- Yes. It is CZ's new-generation striker-fired service pistol and a current new release, offered as the C compact and F full-size with or without a manual safety.
- What sights are on the slide?
- Fixed sights are installed. The slide is also optics-ready for a direct-mounted red dot.
- 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.
