New CZ P-09 Nocturne

The CZ P-09 C Nocturne is an optics-ready update to the P-07, featuring an RMSc footprint and improved grip texture. It offers good ergonomics and accuracy for its price point, comparable to higher-end models. However, it retains known legacy issues like a fragile firing pin block roll pin and a wear-prone trigger return spring.

The updated CZ P-07 and P-09 pistols feature a new optics-ready slide cut compatible with Holosun K and Shield RMS footprints. Improvements include a more aggressive grip texture, enhanced slide serrations, and lower-profile, more comfortable controls. Notably, these new components are backward compatible with older P-07 and P-09 models, offering an upgrade path for existing owners.

This video review discusses the CZ P-09c Nocturne pistol, highlighting its concept of updating the P-09 and P-07 models with modern features. However, the reviewer expresses disappointment due to significant failures experienced during testing, including failure to go into battery and slide lock issues with full magazines. The reviewer notes that these issues were not isolated to their experience, as other YouTubers encountered similar problems, suggesting a potential production flaw. While CZ honored the warranty and fixed the issues on the tested pistol, the reviewer cannot recommend it for carry or home defense due to these concerns, despite their fondness for the original P-09.

This video demonstrates the fundamental safety mechanism of a hand grenade, specifically the T G-67 M-SOFT model. It highlights that the grenade remains safe as long as the safety lever (spoon) is held down. Pulling the pin initiates the delay fuse, but detonation is prevented until the spoon is released, emphasizing the importance of maintaining grip for safety.

This video demonstrates the proper application of a DINPRO CAT-style tourniquet for severe leg wounds.
