Thanks for all the info, looks like the 97 may be fine for me. Still want to try and find a new or used one to handle before buying one, I will look around locally. I noticed they are pricey on gunbroker used, especially the Decocker BD which would be my preference, though I would probably take a B with safety.
I really like to shoot .45 auto, have a SIG P220 and a couple of old Ruger P97s, and a S&W shield in .45, but a CZ would probably be the best shooter from what I've seen of the 75s. CZ makes a great SA/DA semi automatic!
