Last Wednesday, June 28, I bought and registered my new CZ 97B .45 ACP. This gun shop, where I work part time, has an indoor range. This means that even though I cannot take possession of my newly purchased pistol I can retrieve it from the storage vault and shoot it on the premises (anyone who buys a gun there can do this, not just employees).
I have fired 200 rounds of MagTech ammo through it so far and have not had any malfunctions.
Today I shot 40 rounds from a distance of 7 yards. The resulting 40 round group measured 2.30", and consisted of two holes: one small hole made by a single .45 caliber bullet, and one larger hole measuring 1.74" made by 39 bullets.
The trigger is a little weird to me, so I can't wait until I can take the gun home and practice dry firing it. The stock wood grips are sharply stipled and need to be replaced with some custom wood grips. Other than that, I really like this pistol and love how it looks. You CZ fans talked me into it. I kept reading how owners of the 97 said it was the most accurate .45 they'd ever fired. I don't have much experience with .45's, but I think I could learn to shoot this one pretty well. After buying a P-01 in March I realized it would only be a matter of time until I acquired another CZ. Better sooner than later.
