CZ is thrilled to announce the latest addition to its renowned lineup of polymer-framed pistols: the CZ P-09 NOCTURNE, available in both Full-size (F) and Compact (C) versions. This new series highlights the cutting-edge advancements in the popular family of pistols, featuring the highly acclaimed SA/DA OMEGA trigger mechanism.

The most prominent feature of the CZ P-09 NOCTURNE series, based on feedback, is its Optics-Ready interface. This is compatible with Shield RMS and Holosun K-type Red Dot Sight footprints, enabling users to effortlessly mount their preferred optics directly onto the slide. This enhancement significantly improves the versatility and user experience of the pistol.
The series also has an improved texture on the grip, extending to other exposed areas of the frame. Constructed from a durable, fiberglass-reinforced polymer, this new texture ensures a more solid and secure grip, providing shooters with complete control over the pistol during use. This enhancement is particularly beneficial for maintaining accuracy and stability.



In addition to the improved grip, the CZ P-09 NOCTURNE features a contrast and luminescent three-dot sight picture. This design ensures fast and accurate aiming, even in low-light conditions. The enhanced cocking serrations offer firmer support for fingers when racking the firearm, while the new shape of the slide catch/release lever contributes to increased control and ease of use.
The CZ P-09 NOCTURNE boasts refined, ambidextrous decocker and safety controls that ensure seamless operation for both right and left-handed shooters. These enhancements, combined with the pistol's innovative design, elevate the user experience and firmly establish the P-09 NOCTURNE as the new benchmark in the polymer-framed, SA/DA hammer-fired pistol category.

Adding to this list of features, the CZ P-09 NOCTURNE series comes with a lifetime barrel warranty. This warranty covers both functionality and accuracy, providing users with peace of mind. Crafted at the CZ factory in Uhersky Brod, the barrels undergo a cold hammer forging process. Leveraging generations of CZ expertise and cutting-edge technology, this method yields barrels of precision and exceptional durability.
Despite these new advancements, the CZ P-09 NOCTURNE retains several key features from the previous generation. These include the cold hammer forged barrel, the OMEGA SA/DA trigger mechanism, ambidextrous manual safety levers with the option of swapping to a decocker, high reliability with different types of ammunition, a mechanically and thermally stable fiberglass-reinforced polymer frame, a MIL-STD-1913 rail for mounting accessories, and three sizes of interchangeable backstraps to modify the grip.

The CZ P-09 NOCTURNE series represents a trend in the design and functionality of polymer-framed pistols. With its blend of new features such as being optics ready and with tradition of proven reliability, this updated venerable P-09 makes a compelling proposition for shooters looking for a new handgun.
