About This Firearm
The CZ P-09 F Nocturne is a full-size hammer-fired 9mm built for duty and range use. It has an MSRP of $649, and CZ cuts the slide for a micro red dot and puts its OMEGA single-action/double-action mechanism underneath it.
The magazine holds 19 rounds and the cold hammer forged barrel is 4.5 inches, in a pistol weighing 29.3 oz. The safety lever and the decocking lever both come with it and swap at owner level, so one gun covers cocked-and-locked carry and hammer-down carry. Interchangeable backstraps set the grip size, and CZ has retextured the grip and the other contact areas on this build. The first pull is 9.9 lbs double action and every one after it is 4.7 lbs. The frame is 1.5 inches wide and the grip 5.9 inches tall.
If you're cross-shopping, the CZ P-10 F holds the same capacity behind the same 4.5-inch barrel for an MSRP of $499, but it is striker-fired, 28.6 oz, 1.3 inches across and has no optic cut. The CZ P-09 C Nocturne is the compact in the family at 26.1 oz with 15 rounds.

Strengths & Limitations
- The optic cut and the night sights are both fitted at the factory, so the pistol is ready for a dot and usable without one.
- The standard magazine is flush with the frame, so nothing hangs below the grip to catch on a seat belt.
- CZ gives this pistol and the compact Nocturne the same MSRP of $649.
- Concealment takes a careful holster and a cover garment at this grip height and frame width.
- A hammer-fired pistol sits on a taller slide and a higher bore line than the striker-fired CZ P-10 F.
- The double-action first shot is more than twice the weight of the ones after it, so a qualification string started from hammer down needs practice.
