I bought a new gun today! And now a few CZ questions.

Here are a few pics of my latest new gun that I purchased today. No laughing please :)

Lightspeed, is that the CZ 97? If so let me know how much it was and most of all how it performs. I have been milling with the idea of picking one up.
 
Ok, I'm jealous! Congrats! Let us know how the first range trip goes!! Should be sweet if it's anything like Joe Klug's 97B. :cool:

If y'all don't stop with these CZ pics, you are gonna make me have to go out and buy one. :D
 
yours is exactly same looking as mine, I love mine, you will too after you shoot this pretty baby from czech, :D
 
Congrats

I've been eyeing on of those CZ97's myself. Please post a report after the test firing.
Thanks for doing your part to help stimulate the economy.

P210 or a CZ? Hard to tell form the photo.

jon3, the first jpeg shows the slide markings clear enough to see that "CZ-USA, KANSAS QTY, KANSAS" is on the left side. Clearly not a SIG P210. Also clearly a very handsome gun.:cool:
 
Lightsped,

Congrats on the new CZ. I know you're going to like it.:D

We'll have to meet at the range some time and compare groups with the 97s.

Thanks fo the replies. I will try to answer the questions and provide a brief "Pre-Shoot" listing of the Pros and Cons of my CZ97b.

I bought the gun from the CZ Connection. I am a ATL Metro resident, so I picked the gun up in person. I was given a more than reasonable deal, and will definately continue to do business at the CZ Connection in the future.

I have not yet shot my CZ-97b yet. Again, I have this bad habit of buying guns and never shooting them as I have several "new never fired" pistols laying around. :(

Pros and Cons of the CZ-97b.

Pros:
-The trigger and action feel really smooth.
-Large size/weight, meaning it should be a steady gun to shoot.
-Has a very classy style to it. Reminds me of the Miami Vice Bren Ten.
-Very sturdy gun. Full slide rails, lots of steel, and a stainless barrel.
-Love the screw on barrel bushing.
-The CZ "Polymer" finish appears to be very durable.
-Nice position of the Loaded Chamber Indicator. Easy to feel by touch alone.
-Cool factory test target/specs included.

Cons:
-My CZ-97b came with some very minor hairline scratches on the frame. I doubt it came frm the factory like this. Possibly scratched in shipping or at the dealer. Unless you are in really good light or sing a magnifiying glass, they are not noticable.
-"Only" 10 rounds of 45 ACP for this big gun? My little polymer PT145 carrys 10+1 and that gun is MUCH thinner, and smaller than the CZ-97b. I wish I could get at least 15 round mags for this gun.
-Moderate gap between grip base and magazine.
-Slide release is a very far reach, and I do have large hands.

Well, that is about all I can think of right off hand. The Pros on this gun FAR outweigh the Cons. I had to actually look/think pretty hard to discover the Cons listed above. Now I just need to take my new guns to the range and get with the program....... :)

It appears I have one of the first batch of CZ-97Bs made. My serial number is A02xx. Is this considered a low number for this gun?

Also, what is the upsidedown "Y" symbol that is stamped on the right side of the barrel mean?

How about the little symbols on the outside of the chamber on the right side next to the serial number?
