CZ DUTY 4.0 C MS
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.
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.
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 MS model carries a frame-mounted manual thumb safety on top of the firing pin block, trigger safety and drawbar safety. Everything else, chassis, trigger, slide and optics cut, is the same as the version without the lever.
Who is it for: daily carry, a nightstand gun that also rides along, and new owners who want one pistol for everything. 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.
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.
