I have yet to run SWC bullets in any of my .45acp toys.  Happy to hear it runs well in them too. Still very partial to fmj's and jhp's.  If the 97b tuns them without a problem then they are all right in my  estimation.
If you find yourself in a fair gunfight, your tactics stink!

I have a CZ 97BD Love it . Installed  a FF3 Red Dot shoots amazing. Trying to work some kinks with Springer Precision mount screws backing out of mount . (Not Dovetail )after 100 rounds happened  twice  even with Blue loctite. Maybe old loctite? Will have to try new bottle of Loctite.

Did you shake it well? Blue loctite will separate in the tube and needs to be re-mixed before use.

I absolutely love my 97BD!  It puts me in a great mood every time I take it out to the range.

I have been considering picking up a Dan Wesson Valor, since I have never personally owned a 1911.  The way some of you guys are comparing your 97s to your 1911s ... are you saying I will be disappointed w/ the Dan Wesson?
I own both, and there's never ever a reason to be disappointed with a DW Valor, beautiful gun shoots very well. But my 97 "E" setup from CGW out shoots the Valor as far as accuracy goes. That doesn't mean I'm gonna sell my Dan Wesson  tho!  It might mean I sell some other 1911s :)

 No didn't shake but shot out 1/4 of tube before used the remaining ? Next will try a New to be safe old tube was about 2 years old . Shaking is a good idea Thanks !
