Ohio buyers tend to want one pistol that does the carry job and the nightstand job without fuss, and CZ's new DUTY 4.0 is aimed right at that. CZ's new-generation striker-fired 9x19 sits on a serialized internal chassis, with a fiberglass-reinforced polymer grip frame that is modular. The slide is direct-mount optics ready with fixed sights kept on, the barrel is 4 inches and unthreaded, and at 33 mm wide it stays flat on the belt in Columbus or Cleveland traffic.

The compact DUTY 4.0 C holds 15+1, or 17+1 with the extended base plate, weighs 770 g and stands 135 mm; the full-size DUTY 4.0 F holds 17+1 (19+1 extended) at 780 g and 143 mm. Order either with a manual thumb safety as the MS model or without. The refined SFDA trigger comes in at 25±4 N, roughly 5.6 lbs, with a 4 mm reset. Akron, Canton, Toledo and Lorain shooters can mount a Holosun, Aimpoint or Shield dot straight to the slide. New release, $729 MSRP.

Under the DUTY name sits a serial-numbered modular chassis, a 1.3 in (33 mm) wide fiberglass-reinforced polymer frame, a 4-inch barrel and a trigger CZ rates at 25 ± 4 N (5.6 ± 0.9 lbs) with a 0.16 in (4 mm) reset. The slide is optics-ready by direct mount rather than an adapter plate. Fixed sights come standard, and the barrel is not threaded.

Full-size means 17+1 rounds, a grip that takes the whole hand and a frame 5.6 in (143 mm) high. With the extended base plate the count goes to 19+1. Empty weight is 27.7 oz (780 g), which soaks up recoil without making the gun heavy on a belt.

The standard model skips the external safety and keeps the three passive ones: firing pin block, trigger safety and trigger bar safety. Same chassis, same trigger and slide as the MS; only the lever is missing.

Who is it for: the belt, the bedside and the range; the version to buy if you rarely need to hide the gun. 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.

Questions buyers ask: How does buying the DUTY 4.0 work in Ohio? Ohio has no purchase permit and no waiting period. You name an Ohio dealer at checkout, the pistol ships there, and the dealer runs the federal background check at pickup. What is the difference between the DUTY 4.0 MS and the standard model? The MS adds a manual thumb safety on top of the firing pin block, trigger safety and trigger bar safety. Everything else, including barrel, slide and capacity, is the same. How many rounds does the CZ DUTY 4.0 F hold? 17+1 with the standard magazine and 19+1 with the extended base plate.
