The host: CZ P-09 F Nocturne SR

The CZ P-09 F Nocturne SR serves as the foundation of this suppressed 9mm build. It’s a full-size, optics-ready, suppressor-ready pistol from CZ’s Nocturne series. The “SR” model comes with a factory-threaded barrel, making it ready for a suppressor out of the box. It features CZ’s reliable DA/SA trigger, a high-capacity polymer frame, and excellent ergonomics that have made the P-09 platform popular among both duty users and civilians.

CZ P-09 F Nocturne SR Specs

  • Caliber: 9mm
  • Action: DA/SA
  • Barrel: Threaded 1/2×28
  • Capacity: 19+1 or 21+1 (depending on magazine)
  • Optics: Ready (RMSc footprint compatible)
  • Frame: Fiberglass-reinforced polymer
  • Weight: Approximately 29–30 oz unloaded
  • Sights: Luminescent three-dot

CZ P-09 F Nocturne SR is a full-size 9mm built for exactly this kind of setup.

The optic: Steiner MPS-C

The Steiner MPS-C is a compact, enclosed-emitter red dot sight designed specifically for pistols. It features a rugged, sealed housing that protects the emitter from debris, moisture, and impacts which is  a major advantage for both range use and everyday carry.
With its RMSc footprint, it mounts directly to many modern optics-ready slides, including the CZ P-09 F Nocturne SR.

Steiner MPS-C Specs

  • Magnification: 1x
  • Reticle: 1.6 MOA red dot
  • Emitter: Fully enclosed
  • Footprint: RMSc
  • Weight: 1.13 oz
  • Brightness Settings: 12 levels (including NV compatible)
  • Battery: CR1632
  • Housing: Hard-anodized aluminum


An enclosed emitter optic like the Steiner MPS-C is ideal for a suppressed pistol. It stays clean and reliable even when shooting subsonic ammunition, which can sometimes produce more blowback than standard loads.

Steiner introduced the at SHOT Show 2026 as a compact, fully enclosed pistol red dot on the RMSc footprint — the smaller sibling to the original MPS.

The suppressor: BANISH 45

The BANISH 45 is a multi-caliber, user-serviceable titanium suppressor designed for handguns. It can handle everything from.22 rimfire up to.45 ACP, making it extremely versatile.
It features a modular design that allows it to be run in either a short configuration (6.7″) or full length (8.6″), giving the shooter options depending on the host and desired sound reduction.

  • Diameter: 1.375″
  • Weight: 9.6 oz (short) or 11 oz (full)
  • Material: Titanium body with aluminum baffles

Silencer Central delivers it. There is no $200 federal tax stamp to budget for — that cost was eliminated on January 1, 2026.

Feeding it: Winchester Super Suppressed

This prize includes 250 rounds of Winchester Super Suppressed 147 grain subsonic 9mm ammunition. Subsonic ammunition is the ideal pairing for suppressed handguns because it stays below the speed of sound, maximizing the suppressor’s effectiveness and reducing the overall report.

Shooting it: Shooting Targets USA Harmonic Human

Open prairie shooting range: a white human-shaped target with orange inner cutouts mounted on a metal stand in a dry grass field. Intended for shooting practice.

The Harmonic Human is a life-sized AR500 steel target with a human silhouette profile, mounted on the included Signature Stand. What sets it apart is its distinct harmonic ring when hit, giving shooters instant audible feedback without needing to walk downrange to check their shots.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Steiner MPS-C really mount to the CZ without a plate?

Do I have to pay the $200 NFA tax stamp if I win the suppressor?

No. The $200 federal NFA tax stamp was eliminated on January 1, 2026. There is no stamp cost on this transfer. Silencer Central files the Form 4 and handles the FFL transfer.

What caliber is the build?

9mm. The CZ P-09 F Nocturne SR is a 9mm pistol, the Winchester Super Suppressed ammo is 147-grain subsonic 9mm, and the BANISH 45 covers 9mm within its multi-caliber range.
