Hoosiers get a straightforward deal on CZ's new striker pistol: pick the size, pick safety or no safety, name a dealer, done. The DUTY 4.0 is a 9x19mm service pistol with a fiberglass-reinforced polymer frame wrapped around a serialized modular chassis. The frame is the modular piece; the serial stays on the chassis. CZ cut the slide for direct-mount red dots and kept fixed sights, fitted a 4-inch unthreaded barrel, and tuned the SFDA trigger to a 5.6-pound pull with a 4 mm reset.

Around Indianapolis, Carmel and Greenwood, up in Hammond and Valparaiso, and east through Anderson, Muncie and Richmond, this pistol lands in two roles: a carry gun and a home-defense gun. For carry, the DUTY 4.0 C compact with 15+1 rounds and a 5.3-inch height makes sense. For the house or the range, the F full-size at 17+1 is the pick. MS versions add a manual thumb safety.

The C is the short-grip 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 floor plate is fitted. Short enough to hide under a shirt, long enough to get every finger on the grip.

Three things define the DUTY 4.0. First, a registered modular chassis: the registered part is inside, the grip module around it is modular. Second, the trigger, a striker SFDA rated at 25 ± 4 N (5.6 ± 0.9 lbs), 4 mm (0.16 in) reset, 9 ± 1 mm (0.4 ± 0.04 in) travel, which is short and repeatable for a service pistol. Third, a direct-mount optics-ready slide, shown by CZ with Holosun, Aimpoint and Shield dots fitted, so a reflex sight sits low without a stack of plates.

This version has no external safety lever. It relies on three internal 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.

The CZ DUTY 4.0 C suits anyone who wants a modern optics-ready 9mm with CZ's grip and a trigger that is better than the class average: concealed carry where your state allows it, home defense, and range time that does not need a service-size grip.

Indiana has no permit to purchase and no state waiting period. Choose the Indiana dealer you want at checkout; the DUTY 4.0 ships to them, and that dealer runs the background check and releases it at pickup. Ammo and accessories go to your home address. Current price and stock show at checkout, confirmed live before payment.

Questions buyers ask: Can I pick up a DUTY 4.0 the same day in Indiana? Indiana has no state waiting period. Once the pistol arrives at your dealer and the background check clears, you can take it home. What is the difference between the DUTY 4.0 and the DUTY 4.0 MS? The MS adds a manual thumb safety. Both versions keep 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 floor plate for 17+1. P-10 magazine fit is not confirmed, so plan on DUTY magazines.
