It&#8217;s similar in size to a Glock 19.

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&#8217;m not convinced it&#8217;s aggressive enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P-09-C-Nocturne-Grip-Texture.jpg\" alt=\"Textured grips on new CZ handgun\" class=\"wp-image-206203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P-09-C-Nocturne-Grip-Texture.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P-09-C-Nocturne-Grip-Texture-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P-09-C-Nocturne-Grip-Texture-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P-09-C-Nocturne-Grip-Texture-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">CZ improved their grip texture, but I&#8217;d say they should take it even further. Extra backstraps are included.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P09-C-Irons.jpg\" alt=\"Rear iron sights on handgun\" class=\"wp-image-206204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P09-C-Irons.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P09-C-Irons-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P09-C-Irons-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P09-C-Irons-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P09-C-Optic-Ready.jpg\" alt=\"Front iron sights on handgun\" class=\"wp-image-206205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P09-C-Optic-Ready.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P09-C-Optic-Ready-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P09-C-Optic-Ready-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P09-C-Optic-Ready-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The gun comes ready for your optics, or you can shoot it with the iron sights.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P09-Part.jpg\" alt=\"Switch the decocker out for a single action-only safety\" class=\"wp-image-206206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P09-Part.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P09-Part-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P09-Part-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P09-Part-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">You can switch the decocker out for a single action-only safety.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-performance-and-shooting-experience\">Performance and Shooting Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P09-Mags.jpg\" alt=\"P-09 C Nocturne with slide racked on wooden table next to two magazines\" class=\"wp-image-206208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P09-Mags.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P09-Mags-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P09-Mags-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P09-Mags-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">I had a positive experience shooting the CZ P09 C Nocturne.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>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&#8217;ve encountered\u2014it\u2019s 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\u2019s still not ideal for those who prioritize a light and crisp trigger pull in double-action mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-P09-Review.jpg\" alt=\"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.

While it&#8217;s not the best out there, with a pull weight of around 5 pounds and some noticeable pre-travel and creep, it\u2019s still manageable and surprisingly easy to shoot accurately. The pistol\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-09-Slide-Rear.jpg\" alt=\"Slide racked on CZ P-09 C Nocturne\" class=\"wp-image-206210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-09-Slide-Rear.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-09-Slide-Rear-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-09-Slide-Rear-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/CZ-09-Slide-Rear-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Optics Ready and great serrations!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is that there are aftermarket companies making aftermarket parts to upgrade this trigger into something better. <a href=\"https:\/\/cajungunworks.com\/product-category\/p-09\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"cz-p09-c-nocturne-what-we-didnt-like\" title=\"CZ P09 C Nocturne, What We Didn't Like!\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cajun Gun Works<\/a> is one such company, although I personally have no experience with them or their products.
