The CZ P-09 C Nocturne 9mm pistol (brand part no. 91660) is the compact, optics-ready member of CZ’s hammer-fired Nocturne family. CZ-USA gives it a 3.7-inch barrel, a fiberglass-reinforced polymer frame and a 15+1 magazine, with luminescent three-dot sights as a backup to the optic. A manual safety/decocker pairs a safety with a way to lower the hammer. It is a compact duty and concealed-carry pistol for shooters who prefer a traditional DA/SA trigger.
