Title: My first CZ-97B. From a friend.
Post by: KneverKnew on December 01, 2023, 07:08:38 PM
A friend had this 97B he purchase a year ago or so. Never fired it. Apparently it was made in 2019 due to the “19” on right side in front of chamber.
Cant post pictures apparently. Gun is in like new condition. It shoots great.

Congratulations! There's no better .45 acp than the 97B. I wouldn't take three 1911s in exchange for mine (unless I could sell the 1911s and buy more 97Bs).

You can post all the images you like simply and easily.

But first you need to read the instructions. Try looking in the Important Information forum.... https://czfirearms.us/index.php?topic=93202.0

Well that might help. Thanks.

But I really doubt anyone needs to see another picture of a typical cz-97b.
Maybe when I get some targets shot.
I did take it to my range straight from acquisition and ran 40 rounds (4 mags) on the steel target course. I fired from 10 yards and moved laterally to my right while firing. From the video my son took, I counted 8 misses out of the 40. Not too bad for my first time firing this gun. Zero malfunctions….other than me missing. LOL!

I added the CZ rubber grips for better purchase and palm swell.

I’m still trying to get images to post correctly. Apparently I’ve only been able to get a link to show up. Someone please let me know if you are able to access the link and see the image. Thank you.

Just quote my message to see what I did to have the image present automatically.  Imgur does this for you when you click on your image copy the BBCode after you select the Medium Thumbnail size below the options in the image dialog box.

Cheers,
Toby

Cool! Thanks! I’m guessing all that that you did was done on a computer and not a phone, correct?

Yes on a PC not on the phone.  Tapatalk is great for hosting images from you phone directly.

Wobbly corrected my image widths (less than 650 is a forum rule).

Cheers,
Toby

Thanks! I e had that one over 30 years. Made the grips while I was in college. And yes I cold blued it. Sacrilege, I know. But I was young and still like the way it looks to this day. I finally got a 9 mm barrel to put in it and that’s what I usually shoot nowadays.
