The 97 I had was a Box stock shooter. It really didnt need anything and shot as well as any gun Ive had......great great trigger.
The best advice I can give any CZ owner is get Wolff springs for your gun.
CZ still doesnt use the greatest springs..but CZUB is looking at using Wolff for the OEM spring supplier now...very cool. Other than that just shoot it and enjoy it.
Ive shot a tuned 97 of my gunsmiths..he did the work on all of my CZ's. It had Novaks, trigger job and checkering on the front strap...it was a nice nice gun. He did the work on my PCR, SA and other sorted CZ's of days gone by.
As far as issues the 97's have had...they are not many at all. The only thing some people have to worry about with the guns is the feedramp is pretty steep and may argue with some square'ish profile JHP's.
Each gun is different and you just have to see what your gun does...most work great with all ammo. Mine did. Id find a gun you like and get it. I doubt highly you wont like it for any reason.
Id still have mine but I sold it for another purchase that I HAD TO HAVE worse at the time. More of my "stupid people tricks".
Surprised by the results, someone must not have alerted the 1911 crowd? My vote is also the P220. Very boring...runs anything under any conditions. The forthcoming K-trigger is likely to bring the P22x pistols back to shooters' attention and probably sell a lot of the new pistols, making a great pistol better.

SIG P220 or the P245 is what I would spend my own money on right now... Probably leaning to the more compact P245.
Close second would be a polished blue CZ-97B. This is a fine handgun, and remains the single most accurate handgun I have ever fired. Selling it was a mistake, but I needed the cash. I would LOVE a CZ-97B"C"... a compact version... not really compact persay... just a but shorter in length in both directions. Give it a 4 inch barrel and knock 3/4 an inch off the grip, and a decocker... (What's up with a DA/SA without a decocker these days?)and they would have one heck of a service pistol. Perhaps the finest.
Like this:
Coming in close to the 97 is the Beretta Cougar. Very smooth, good accuracy and great reliability. This is perhaps one of the most under-rated guns on the market.
The 1911A1 pattern gun is always a favorite. If I had the money to spend, I'd have Terry Tussy build me up an Officer's Model. That man is an artist with the 1911... more so in my opinion than Ed Brown or Les Baer or the rest of the well knowns. A Tussy Custom Officers - my dream gun.
