CZ DUTY 4.0 C
Specs at a glance
About this product
Not every customer who shops frame parts wants to finish a frame. For the buyer who would rather pick up a serialized, factory-built service pistol and go shoot, we added CZ's new DUTY 4.0 in all four versions: C compact, F full-size, and the MS variants of each with a manual thumb safety. It is a striker-fired 9x19mm with a fiberglass-reinforced polymer frame, a 4-inch barrel and fixed sights.
The design will look familiar to anyone who studies how pistols are put together. CZ serialized the internal chassis rather than the grip, so the frame around it is a modular component. The slide is machined for direct-mount red dots, and CZ photographs it wearing Holosun, Aimpoint and Shield units. Trigger pull is 25±4 N, and the 4 mm reset is the number that will stand out to anyone who tunes triggers. The C carries 15+1 and the F 17+1, both gaining two rounds with the extended base plate. CZ's MSRP is $729.
Under the DUTY name sits a serialized modular chassis, a 1.3 in (33 mm) wide fiberglass-reinforced polymer frame, a 4-inch barrel and a trigger CZ rates at 25 ± 4 N (5.6 ± 0.9 lbs) with a 0.16 in (4 mm) reset. The slide is optics-ready by direct mount rather than an adapter plate. Fixed sights come standard, and the barrel is not threaded.
Capacity on the compact 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 automatic safeties, firing pin block, trigger safety and trigger bar safety, and the trigger is the same as on the MS model. Shooters who prefer a lever should pick the MS.
Best fit: daily carry, a bedside 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.
Unlike the magazines and small parts on this site, a complete pistol has a serial number and must go through a dealer. During checkout you tell us which FFL should receive it, we ship it to them tracked, and they take care of the transfer paperwork and your state's rules at pickup. Have the dealer's details ready before you place the order.

Frequently asked questions
- Do the magazines on this site fit the DUTY 4.0?
- The listings here are for Polymer80 frame families and name the Gen 3 model they fit; the DUTY 4.0 ships with its own CZ magazines, and we do not list a cross-fit for it.
- Why buy a finished pistol instead of a build?
- A factory pistol arrives finished and serialized, with CZ's SFDA trigger and optics cut already done; a build gives you the hands-on work and parts choice. Plenty of customers want one of each.
- 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.
