My 97b was $829.00 delivered. High I know, but they were hard to find at the time. Their probably much higher now.View attachment 964502
My hand (same as in the photos above) is 7.5" in the dimension that you asked about. I assume that the people who feel that the 97B is huge either have smaller hands, or they just feel that their hand needs to wrap around a handgun grip like a baseball bat.Wondering if any of you could measure your middle finger to the base hand/wrist junction?
Mine is 7-3/4" long, I typically wear size large gloves due more to finger length than girth, just wanted to get a feel for how big these feel in the hand, that's a common theme that people talk about with these is how big in the had it feels.
Some of us like that.or they just feel that their hand needs to wrap around a handgun grip like a baseball bat.
I do have small hands, but it's not the grip size that bothers me but the DA trigger reach....with the factory grips it was unmanageable. Single Action is fine, though.My hand (same as in the photos above) is 7.5" in the dimension that you asked about.

Next, they need to add a service that moves the pivot point of the thumb safety back about 1/2".Common complaint about CZ's and rightfully so for shorter fingered people.
CGW makes their "reach reduction kit" that moves the trigger back 5mm (which I guess would be about 3/8"). Makes a big difference.

Are you essentially asking us if your new firearm is making your derriere too big?
I won't fall into that trap with a female. I'll be darned if I'm going to let it happen to me on THR!
No, the “are my jeans getting skinnier” comment was about gun owners jabbing CZ owners and how they are “hipster, skinny jean wearing mellinnials”.

Never seen or heard the CZs are hipster guns meme.
But I guess with their popularity with gun games might do it, I dunno.
Always liked the 97, always kinda wanted one.
I’ve heard it a few times from people when I carried my PCR back in the day. Didn’t bother me, could care less.
It’s their loss, as CZ’s are sweet!
I’m not much of a 45ACP shooter, and sold my last 45, so need something with class to be the 45 place holder in my collection. This one may when the time comes just up my need for more time devoted on the progressive press for 45.
Need to make a decision but all roads are so far leading to the 97b.
Hard to go wrong there.
.45s are in an odd spot for me, I adore 1911s and have a few so a new .45 has to do something special for me. 10 rounds in a bigger package doesn't fit my "needs to be different" criteria (it's an idiosyncracy of mine) to justify my limited gun budget. Much the same for the HK45 or Sig 220 and 227.
But I still admire them.
Oddly enough dispite having a Glock 19, Wilson EDC x9, Sig 228 all filling the 9mm carry niche, I still want a PCR or P-01, guess my issues only extend to the .45 ACP.
Just measured mine. 8 and 1/18". The first time I handled a 97 I expected it to feel like a Desert Eagle in the hand, based on how some folks talk about it.

How does it compare to EAA witness in 45acp?
Maybe if your hands are big enough, but for me the difference is enough to matter. I might be right there where it does.IMO, the 97 is NOT all that bigger than a 75.
