Many people have urged CZ to make a 10mm. Mostly those
seeking a Compact version of the 97B in TEN.
CZ-USA makes up only 15% of the world-wide CZUB market.
The powers that be at CZ don't want to make any gun that
will only sell to a few thousand people.
Feasibility:
All that is needed to make a TEN out of the current 97B is a Bar-Sto
or other custom barrel. Then add Witness mags. They and .45 mags
are both made by Mec-Gar.
Durability:
The 97B was designed around S&B Hardball ammo. I really doubt
if the existing 97B design's muzzle bushing would stand up to the
pounding of hot 10mms. Maybe- i'm wrong about this.
I only run Hardball in my 97B, but find myself shooting 10mm more
and more. The Witness doesn't have/need a threaded barrel bushing
and i think is a superior platform for the 10mm.
Have you guys seen the new Witness Hunter Pro??
