Any larger than 10rd. magazines?

Maybe 12rds.? I tried a search and didn't come up with anything for the 97b.

As a new CZ97 BD owner I've been wondering the same.  These mags will likely work since Mec-Gar Tanfoglio/EAA .45 Witness mags fit the CZ97 but dang they're spendy:

Looks like they sell the extensions separately as well:

Those extensions will work on CZ mags. There was a thread about it here a year or two ago.

Thanks for the confirmation.  I might try a few. I'm running both CZ and Tanfoglio mags in my new 97 so figured the extensions would be good to go.

I ordered a Henning mag extension to try out.  I'll report back when it arrives.

Kinda spendy, right? I ordered one to try. Got it today. Haven't live fired with it yet but it does hold 2 more rounds, it's well made and looks good. I plan on using the 97 at local club steel plate matches and other fun comps. 2 extra rounss will be nice.

Range report for the +2 extension. I just shot 4 full mags using the +2 mag extensions and Remington 230gr FMJs. No issues at all. No feeding issues and no failures for the slide to lock back.  Looks like if you want/need 2 extra rounds in your 97 this is a viable way to go.
