Agreed, I bought mine (blued w/wood grips) used about 10 years ago, and until the BDs came out I rarely saw a 97 new or used for sale. I recently got an itch for a scorpion evo but had to let one of my .45 pistols go. I chose to sell my Sig p220 over the 97b. And the Sig was a great pistol, but I just consistently shot better groups with the CZ.
