CZ DUTY 4.0 C MS
About this product
Speed is the reason people shop this site, and a factory pistol is the fastest route to a finished 9mm. CZ's new DUTY 4.0 is a striker-fired service gun with a serialized internal chassis, a fiberglass-reinforced polymer frame that is modular around that chassis, a 4-inch unthreaded barrel and fixed sights. Choose the C compact or the F full-size, and add MS to the name if you want a manual thumb safety on top of the internal safeties.
The two sizes are near twins from the front. Each is 188 mm long and 33 mm wide; the C is 135 mm tall at 770 grams and the F is 143 mm at 780 grams. Magazine capacity is 15+1 or 17+1 respectively, and the extended base plate adds two rounds to either. The slide takes a direct-mount red dot. CZ rates the SFDA trigger at 25±4 N with a 4 mm reset. The suggested price is $729.
The C is the short-grip frame. It stands 5.3 in (135 mm) tall, weighs 27.2 oz (770 g) with an empty magazine and carries 15+1 rounds of 9mm, or 17+1 once the extended floor plate is fitted. Short enough to hide under a shirt, long enough to get every finger on the grip.
The chassis is serialized and modular, which is CZ's way of making the grip module swappable. The frame itself is fiberglass-reinforced polymer, 1.3 in (33 mm) wide, on a four-inch 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 MS model carries a frame-mounted manual thumb safety on top of the firing pin block, trigger safety and trigger-bar safety. Everything else, chassis, trigger, slide and optics cut, is the same as the version without the lever.
Best fit: daily carry, a nightstand gun that also rides along, and new owners who want one pistol for everything. Shooters coming from a CZ 75 will recognize the grip angle; owners coming from any other striker gun will notice the trigger first.
A serialized pistol cannot leave the warehouse addressed to a home. It ships tracked to the FFL dealer you pick at checkout, and the dealer handles the transfer paperwork and applies the rules of your state when you collect it. Pickup timing depends on your dealer's schedule, so line one up and enter their details before you place the order.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the pistol ship as fast as parts orders?
- It leaves on the same schedule as the rest of the warehouse, but it goes to your FFL dealer rather than your door, so add the dealer's own handling time.
- What does 25±4 N mean on the trigger spec?
- That is CZ's pull weight in newtons, which works out to about 5.6 pounds give or take 0.9; reset is 4 mm and total travel about 9 mm.
- 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.
- Does the manual safety change the trigger?
- No. CZ rates the trigger the same on both versions: 5.6 pounds with a 4 mm reset.
