CZ fans know the line-up: the CZ 75 family on the hammer side, the P-10 on the striker side. The DUTY 4.0 is the next striker gun, and it brings a new architecture. The serial number now sits on an internal modular chassis, with a fiberglass-reinforced polymer grip frame around it, and the SFDA trigger has been refined to 5.6 pounds with 9 mm of travel and a 4 mm reset. The slide is direct-mount optics-ready, the sights fixed, the 4-inch barrel unthreaded.

Four models: C compact at 15+1 and 135 mm tall, F full-size at 17+1 and 143 mm, each with an MS variant that adds a manual thumb safety. For Kansas buyers from Overland Park and Kansas City to Wichita, Salina and Great Bend, it slots in as the home-defense or carry pistol next to a Scorpion-style 9mm carbine. This is an independent CZ-focused shop, not affiliated with CZ-USA, and the DUTY 4.0 is a $729 MSRP new release.

The C is the carry-size frame. It stands 135 mm (5.3 in) tall, weighs 770 g (27.2 oz) with the magazine in but empty and carries 15+1 rounds of 9mm, or 17+1 once the extended base plate is fitted. Short enough to hide under a shirt, long enough to get every finger on the grip.

There is no manual safety on this model. Drop safety comes from the firing pin block, the trigger safety and the trigger bar safety, the way most modern striker pistols are set up. If you want a frame-mounted lever, the MS version has one.

The chassis is registered and modular, which is CZ's way of making the polymer grip swappable. The frame itself is fiberglass-reinforced polymer, 33 mm (1.3 in) wide, on a 4-inch barrel and a 188 mm (7.4 in) overall length. The SFDA trigger breaks at 25 ± 4 N (5.6 ± 0.9 lbs) and resets in 4 mm (0.16 in). Optics mount directly to the slide; the photos from CZ show Holosun, Aimpoint and Shield footprints.

Who is it for: daily carry, a bedside gun that also rides along, and new buyers 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.

Pick the C, F or MS model and name the Kansas dealer you want it shipped to. Kansas has no purchase permit and no waiting period; your dealer runs the NICS check at pickup. Magazines, optics and ammo ship to your door. Live price and stock checks happen at order time, before payment.

Questions buyers ask: Do DUTY 4.0 magazines work in a P-10? CZ has not confirmed magazine compatibility with the P-10, so treat them as separate until CZ says otherwise. Buy DUTY 4.0 magazines for the DUTY 4.0. Does the DUTY 4.0 come with a manual safety? Only the MS versions have the thumb safety; the standard C and F rely on the firing pin block, trigger safety and trigger bar safety. 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.
