Recently got one of the new CZ97B .45ACP "American" Models. I Recently got one of the new CZ97B .45ACP "American" Models. Ijust got back from my second shooting session.
The CZ97 has a manual safety and can be carried cocked & locked like a Model 1911 Colt or you can carry it with the hammer down and fire the first shot double action
It is about the same size and weight as a full size 1911 Goverenment Midel. It has ten shot magazines which gives you eleven shots with one in the chamber.
I have fired 600 shots with it so far, 300 rounds of FMJ and 300 rounds of hollow points with no malfunctions. Groups got tighter as I shot it. Probally because I am getting used to the trigger pull on a new pistol. Double action trigger was fine. Single action trigger pull has a little slack before it fires. This made accurate rapid fire a little tricky, but I think I can get used to it.
My preliminary evalution is that it is an outstanding pistol, better than the Glock or the H&K, or the Smith& Wessons in the sme caliber.
The CZ97Bs are currently selling for $550 to $600. One spare magazine came with the pistol. Additional spare magazines are available.just got back from my second shooting session.
