Well kind of.....they still make the 97B for California. The only difference is wood grips and the absence of a fiber optic FS.Considering the fact CZ killed the 97 this January, if you want one better hurry up.
any recommendations on grips… Not fond of LocGrips. Don’t like the name. Got med hand. Looking for extra thin
LOK grip = Not Cool = JK peopleWell kind of.....they still make the 97B for California. The only difference is wood grips and the absence of a fiber optic FS.
I'm not a fan of LOK grips either but we are clearly in a minority.
The first 97B I bought was in 2012 for $645 new (a blued model).
I bought another in April 2020 for $650 new.
And the last one was in January for $725 new.
i am not sure what it is about the company's name that bothers you. it seems like a fairly bland and unremarkable name but there's VZ grips and the grips appear to be similar. I went with lok grips as it was cheaper and the reviews were good. in the vz grips reviews it was mentioned that the grips shape are different from the aluminum factory grips but still fit well. if yours comes with the aluminum grips maybe you'll like it.LOK grip = Not Cool = JK people
I bought my 97 for $550 used ($300 cash plus a ruger mk2) . Have not received it yet. July is that dream date

According to a friend I made while living in Kansas City who happens to be a CZ rep, the 97 and newly released P10 in 45 is dead.
One of these days I'll get a used 97B, but in the meantime, I have a Witness .45, and the SAR K245, both great guns.
i wonder what they mean by an older version. i doubt they mean the bulkier grips.That's hearsay. CZ still makes the 97B but only for the California market.

As much as I like the 97b the SAR K2 45c won out when it came time to buy. Similar ergos, more capacity (which is a moot point for the OP), and a couple hundred dollars less. Turns out the SAR also cycles semiwadcutters, a plus for me.
the video i posted was with wadcutters although there was one Failure to feed. so still happens occasionally.As much as I like the 97b the SAR K2 45c won out when it came time to buy.

Mine can be a bit finicky with some of them, they say CZ fixed that.My 97B cycles semiwadcutters just fine!
as of June 1st for the Washington Market TOO. Yeah, we got the 10 rd thing here tooThat's hearsay. CZ still makes the 97B but only for the California market.

Your right! I’ll get the most generic Amazon Loc Grip and Rock it!What's in a name, one might ask?
vz grips is more expensive.
