A journalist tested the CZ DUTY 9mm at Shootingpark Leobersdorf in Austria about a month after launch coverage, using a Waffenland shop demo that was one of five examples then in the country and without any CZ involvement.

Roughly 400 rounds of 9mm fired indoors at outdoor targets with iron sights produced no malfunctions and yielded accurate hits on paper and steel from the start. The striker trigger used light take-up into a clear wall plus a short reset, while the fitted grip module did not match the hand well especially on the left. CZ offers S, M and L modules that change without tools, and the DUTY adds a serialized chassis, plate-free mounting for several optic footprints and fully ambidextrous controls above the still-available P-10.
