CZ P09 C NOCTURNE: VIDEO OVERVIEW




KEY FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS

The CZ P-09 C Nocturne is a compact version of the popular P-09 series, designed
with both everyday carry and tactical use in mind. It’s similar in size to a
Glock 19. Here are some of its key features:




 * Caliber: 9mm
 * Capacity: 15+1
 * Barrel Length: 3.74 inches (Cold Hammer-Forged)
 * Overall Length: 7.4 inches
 * Weight: 31.7 oz
 * Frame Material: Thermal Stable Polymer with Nitride finish
 * Trigger: DA/SA (Double-Action/Single-Action)
 * Safety: Ambidextrous manual safety, convertible to a decocker
 * Sights: Trium 3-Dot Steel Sights with front and rear serrations
 * Optics Ready: Yes, compatible with RMS Shield and Holosun K footprints
 * Accessory Rail: MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rail

The CZ P-09 C Nocturne was designed with everyday use in mind.


DESIGN AND ERGONOMICS

One of the most noticeable updates to the CZ P-09 C Nocturne is its new grip
texture. CZ has improved the grip texture, which now covers more surface area,
making it easier to maintain a firm hold on the pistol. Previously, many users
had to resort to aftermarket stippling or skateboard tape to achieve the desired
grip, but this update addresses that issue directly. While the additional
texture is better than the original, I’m not convinced it’s aggressive enough.

CZ improved their grip texture, but I’d say they should take it even further.
Extra backstraps are included.

Another significant improvement is that the P-09 C Nocturne is now optics-ready,
supporting the popular RMS Shield and Holosun K footprint. Red dot sights can
now be mounted with zero hassle. This feature is becoming increasingly important
as more shooters opt for red dot optics on their handguns. The slide stop and
decocker have also been redesigned for better ergonomics, though I did find the
slide stop slightly difficult to reach without adjusting my grip.






The gun comes ready for your optics, or you can shoot it with the iron sights.
You can switch the decocker out for a single action-only safety.


PERFORMANCE AND SHOOTING EXPERIENCE

I had a positive experience shooting the CZ P09 C Nocturne.

When it comes to shooting the CZ P-09 C Nocturne, my experience was mixed but
ultimately positive. The double-action trigger pull is, quite frankly, one of
the worst I’ve encountered—it’s heavy, long, and breaks at over 11 pounds. This
is disappointing, especially considering this is an updated version of the
pistol where one would expect improvements in such a critical area. However,
after putting several hundred rounds through the gun, the trigger did smooth out
somewhat, but it’s still not ideal for those who prioritize a light and crisp
trigger pull in double-action mode.

Guns America CZ P09 review: though overall it’s a good gun, the double action
trigger pull is one of the worst we’ve ever encountered. It smoothed out some
eventually, but it is far from ideal.

On the other hand, the single-action trigger is significantly better. While it’s
not the best out there, with a pull weight of around 5 pounds and some
noticeable pre-travel and creep, it’s still manageable and surprisingly easy to
shoot accurately. The pistol’s overall shootability is excellent, thanks to its
low recoil and good sight tracking. The slimmer slide design, characteristic of
CZ pistols, contributes to reduced recoil and faster follow-up shots.




Optics Ready and great serrations!

The good news is that there are aftermarket companies making aftermarket parts
to upgrade this trigger into something better. Cajun Gun Works is one such
company, although I personally have no experience with them or their products.
Maybe we’ll reach out and see if they’ll send us an upgrade kit to review.


PROS AND CONS

I liked the sight tracking that the P-09 C Nocturne provided.

What I Liked:

 * Optics Ready: The ability to mount a red dot optic is a major advantage.
 * Improved Grip Texture: The enhanced grip texture is a welcome improvement
   over previous models.
 * Shootability: Despite the double-action trigger, the P-09 C Nocturne is one
   of the easiest pistols to shoot, with minimal recoil and excellent sight
   tracking.
 * Customizable Features: The ability to switch between a decocker and manual
   safety offers flexibility depending on user preference.

What I Didn’t Like:

 * Double-Action Trigger: The heavy and long double-action trigger pull is a
   significant drawback.
 * Slide Stop Reach: The slide stop is hard to reach without adjusting your
   grip, which could be an issue in high-stress situations.
 * Magazines: While the pistol comes with two 15-round magazines, I would have
   preferred an extended magazine option right out of the box.

The gun comes with two magazines and I wish they had included an extended
option.


FINAL THOUGHTS ON THE CZ P-09 C NOCTURNE

At an MSRP of $549, the CZ P-09 C Nocturne offers good value for those looking
for a reliable, feature-rich pistol for both everyday carry and tactical use.
While the double-action trigger leaves much to be desired, the overall
shootability, improved ergonomics, and optics-ready design make this a solid
choice. If you can get past the trigger, the P-09 C Nocturne is a highly capable
and easy-to-shoot firearm that’s worth considering.

The P-09 is a solid choice for everyday use.

Verdict: Despite a few drawbacks, the CZ P-09 C Nocturne is a well-rounded
pistol with a lot to offer. Whether you’re a CZ fan or new to the brand, this
model deserves a closer look.

   Colt/CZ have made it vastly more difficult to buy their stuff. Not only do
   you have to find an authorized dealer, but even the transfer FFL has to prove
   their worthiness to accept and process a gun already bought and paid for from
   an online retailer who has already jumped through all the hoops. Forget about
   affordable or convenient transfers if you’re shopping for these blue blood
   guns online.
