First Look: CZ P-09 NOCTURNE Pistols

by Tommy Grant

CZ has just announced the CZ P-09 NOCTURNE pistol line, featuring optics-ready slides, luminescent sights and improved ergonomics.

CZ has just updated its popular P-07 and P-09 pistols with the P-09 NOCTURNE line. The series features both a full-size (P-09 F NOCTURNE) and a compact (P-09 C NOCTURNE) model and they sport several improvements over their predecessors.

The heart of the CZ P-09 NOCTURNE is unchanged, as the new pistols still have rugged polymer frames, DA/SA triggers and 9mm double-stack magazines. They also still feature three sizes of interchangeable backstraps, an accessory rail and ambidextrous safety/decock levers. Where the NOCTURNE handguns depart from the old design mostly has to do with their ergonomics and sights.

Not only do the NOCTURNE pistols feature an improved texture pattern, but there’s more of it incorporated throughout the frame to help ensure a secure grip. They also feature enhanced front cocking serrations and a redesigned slide stop and safety lever. The optics-ready slide design has also been improved as it now allows for direct-mounting red dots with a Shield RMS or Holosun K footprint, and each pistol sports luminescent 3-dot iron sights as well.

The full-size model has a standard magazine capacity of 19 rounds and the compact model has a capacity of 15 rounds, but both are available with 10-round mags as well. All NOCTURNE variants share an MSRP of $549 and are available now.
