CZ DUTY 4.0 C
Specs at a glance
About this product
Alongside Polymer80 frames and build kits, the complete pistols on these pages are for the buyer who wants to skip the drilling and shoot this weekend. CZ's DUTY 4.0 joins the Springfield, Rossi and Taurus handguns in that lineup as a brand-new release. It is a striker-fired 9x19mm, and its construction will interest anyone who builds: the serialized part is an internal chassis, and the fiberglass-reinforced polymer grip frame around it is modular.
The C compact holds 15+1 rounds, or 17+1 with the extended base plate, weighs 770 g and is 135 mm tall. The F full-size holds 17+1, 19+1 extended, weighs 780 g and is 143 mm tall. Both measure 188 mm in length and 33 mm in width, carry a 4-inch barrel without threading and wear fixed sights on an optics-ready slide cut for direct mounting. The refined SFDA trigger pulls 25 N, about 5.6 lbs, with 9 mm travel and a 4 mm reset. MS versions add a manual thumb safety. MSRP is $729.
Capacity on the carry-size is 15+1, with a 17+1 option through the extended floor 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.
The chassis is serial-numbered and modular, which is CZ's way of making the polymer grip swappable. The frame itself is fiberglass-reinforced polymer, 1.3 in (33 mm) wide, on a 102 mm barrel and a 7.4 in (188 mm) overall length. The SFDA trigger breaks at 25 ± 4 N (5.6 ± 0.9 lbs) and resets in 0.16 in (4 mm). Optics mount directly to the slide; the photos from CZ show Holosun, Aimpoint and Shield footprints.
The standard model skips the manual safety and keeps the three passive ones: firing pin block, trigger safety and trigger bar safety. Same chassis, same trigger and slide as the MS; only the lever is missing.
Who is it for: concealed carry where your state allows it, home defense, and range time that does not need a full-size grip. 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.
Frames and kits go to your door, while the DUTY 4.0 goes to the FFL dealer you name when you check out, because it is a serialized, complete firearm. The dealer handles the transfer paperwork and applies your state's rules when you collect it. Enter your dealer's information at checkout and the pistol ships to that address.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the DUTY 4.0 use the same magazines as other CZ pistols?
- CZ has not confirmed cross-compatibility with earlier CZ magazines, so plan on DUTY 4.0 magazines. The C runs 15+1 and the F 17+1, with the extended base plate adding two rounds.
- Which size suits a first complete pistol?
- The F full-size gives a fuller grip and 17+1 rounds; the C compact is 8 mm shorter in height and holds 15+1. Barrel length and width are identical.
- 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.
