I bought a previously owned and never fired 97B a few months ago, and this pistol is the one for me.
She had 6 previous owners, and had apparently been used as trading fodder, I picked her up for a song....made in 1998, she is an early example. Very well made.
Shoots like a dream and is very reliable. I have large hands(a G21 chews on the web of my hand)and the fit is supreme. I just added aluminum grips with skate tape, and made a stainless full length guide rod. No function problems with any ammo tried so far, be it 230 grain wolf, or 185 grain jhp stuff.
Bigger mags would be swell, but I am thrilled so far.
I am considering adding a burris fastfire, or Docter optic sight....me thinks it will be a work of art.
2 years ago I attended a fun raiser at a local gun store. I won the CZ 97B from a raffle ticket. Yeah, WON! Pretty cool right? During my wait to receive my new found love, I read a few reviews. Although most of what I read was %99.9 positive, I kept hearing, "If you have big hands, or good gun for a big man". I was a bit concerned. Those doubts of this gun might not be right for me went right out the window once I loaded that 10 round clip and let Them fly! Look, I'm not a big man. I'm 5'7 and I'm pretty sure my hands are not very big. My hands are 6 1/2" by 3 1/2". This is a large gun none the less. If you feel your hands might be to small for a large gun like the 97B, maybe you should look elsewhere. Maybe your just not into large guns, but after 500 rounds, the 97B still feels great, shoots straight with no discomfort. You don't have to be 6 ft. tall to enjoy this gun. I forgot all about the "Big Man" talk once I was emptying clips. I love my CZ 97B!
This is one hellufva pistol! - Added 5 months, 3 weeks ago. Added by Ed
If you've got the hands for it, this is the .45 ACP to own. I find it just as accurate as high end 1911 models and much faster to clean and reassemble! It's very comfortable to shoot and when you pull it out at the range it always is an attention getter and its sheer impressive build attracts comments. Not for the small handed but a big man requires a big pistol. If Rooster Cogburn were alive today, he'd carry a 97B!
