Las Vegas range culture runs on optics-ready 9mms, and CZ's new DUTY 4.0 is built for exactly that crowd. The slide takes a red dot by direct mount, with fixed sights underneath, and the frame is fiberglass-reinforced polymer wrapped around a serialized chassis. The trigger is CZ's refined SFDA: 5.6 pounds give or take, 9 mm of travel, 4 mm of reset.

Choose the C compact if you want 15+1 in a gun that is 135 mm tall, or the F full-size for 17+1 and a fuller grip. Both come with or without a manual thumb safety, badged MS. Whether you shoot at a Henderson indoor bay, plink out past Pahrump, or carry in Reno or Sparks, it is the same 4-inch barrel and 7.4-inch overall length. Desert heat and dust are what polymer-framed strikers are made for, and at a $729 MSRP it comes in under a lot of the optics-ready competition.

The C is the carry-size frame. It stands 5.3 in (135 mm) tall, weighs 27.2 oz (770 g) unloaded 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.

No external safety here. The firing pin block, trigger safety and trigger bar safety handle drop safety, and the holster handles the rest. CZ sells the same gun with a thumb lever as the MS model.

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 four-inch barrel without a thread.

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.

Order online, pick the Nevada dealer you want it sent to, and we ship the pistol there. Nevada has no permit to purchase and no state waiting period; your dealer runs the background check when you come to collect, and you take it home once it clears. Ammo and gear go to your door. Live price and stock are checked when you order, before you pay.

Questions buyers ask: Is there a waiting period on handguns in Nevada? No. Nevada has no state waiting period and no permit to purchase; your dealer runs the background check when you pick the pistol up. Which red dots fit the DUTY 4.0 slide? It is direct-mount optics-ready, and CZ's own photos show Holosun, Aimpoint and Shield dots on it. Check the footprint of your chosen optic against CZ's cut before you buy. 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.
