Title: CZ97 Grip width/length
Post by: DaveH on September 22, 2005, 01:31:47 PM

I keep hearing how the 97's grip is fairly large and should be handled before purchase.  The website lists the width as 1.4 inches (same as the 75), but is this simply overall width, not grip width?

Can anyone tell me the grip differences between a 97, 75, and 1911?

Experience would be great, measurements even better!

Well let's see if I can help!

CZ85B- width 1.40", length 2.05", from tang to inside trigger guard 2.20"

CZ97B- width 1.40", length 2.20", from tang to inside trigger guard 2.33"

My hand- from start of palm to tip of trigger finger 7", from start of palm to tip of thumb placed along side of my tigger finger 4.5", from thumb joint to trigger finger 4.5"

I shoot mine as well as my CZ85, it just has a flatter feel to it as the CZ85 has a rounder feel.

Hope this helps!
