About this product
California buyers ask one question before anything else about a new pistol: can it actually be delivered here. For the CZ DUTY 4.0 we confirm the roster status of the exact model and configuration before an order ships, so you are never left guessing after you pay. What CZ has released is a striker-fired 9x19mm with a serialized internal chassis, a modular fiberglass-reinforced polymer grip frame and a plain 4-inch barrel with no threading.
The compact C version holds 15+1 rounds, or 17+1 with the extended base plate, weighs 770 g and stands 135 mm tall. The full-size F holds 17+1, 19+1 extended, weighs 780 g and stands 143 mm tall. Both run 188 mm long and 33 mm wide with fixed sights and a slide cut for direct red dot mounting. MS models add a manual thumb safety alongside the firing pin block, trigger safety and trigger bar safety. The SFDA trigger pulls about 5.6 lbs with a 4 mm reset. MSRP $729.
Capacity on the short-grip is 15+1, with a 17+1 option through the longer base plate. Height is 135 mm (5.3 in) and the empty weight 770 g (27.2 oz). If you carry, this is the DUTY to look at; if you mostly shoot at the range, see the F.
A external safety is the one thing that separates this model from its sibling. It sits beside the three passive safeties, firing pin block, trigger safety and drawbar safety, and does not change the trigger pull.
Under the DUTY name sits a serial-numbered modular chassis, a 33 mm (1.3 in) wide fiberglass-reinforced polymer frame, a 102 mm barrel and a trigger CZ rates at 25 ± 4 N (5.6 ± 0.9 lbs) with a 4 mm (0.16 in) reset. The slide is optics-ready by direct mount rather than an adapter plate. Fixed sights come standard, and the barrel is not threaded.
Best fit: daily carry, a bedside gun that also rides along, and new buyers who want one pistol for everything. Shooters coming from a CZ 75 will recognize the grip angle; buyers coming from any other striker gun will notice the trigger first.
Any DUTY 4.0 you order here goes to the California FFL dealer you name at checkout, not to your home. Before it leaves, the exact model is checked against the current handgun roster, and if a configuration cannot ship to California you will hear from us rather than see a surprise. At pickup your dealer handles the paperwork and applies the state's rules.

Frequently asked questions

- What is the difference between the C and F models?
- The C is the compact at 15+1 rounds and 135 mm tall, the F is the full-size at 17+1 and 143 mm tall. Barrel length, width and overall length are the same on both.
- What does MS mean on the CZ DUTY 4.0 C MS?
- Manual safety. It adds a thumb lever to the firing pin block, trigger safety and trigger bar safety that every DUTY has.
