Glossy Blue with H/C Accents
« on: March 27, 2013, 09:54:59 PM »
The owner of this NIB Glossy Blue 97B asked me to post a pic of this CZ.  It has hard chrome accents as directed.  The SA is perfect but for some reason, the DA on this particular 97 is one of the lightest I have ever done.  Even with a 13# hammer spring this one measures an incredible 7 lbs, 4 oz.  Once broken in, I feel a sub-7 lb pull is possible.  Wish my personal 97 was like this.  This one needs to have the grips sanded, notice the gorgeous wood underneath the checkering . . . . .

this pistol is absolutely amazing!  thank you so much David.   this pistol is far more accurate than I am. a bullseye guy shooting next to me shot a 2.75" group at 25 yards with my commercial grade ammo like it was nothing when i let him shoot a mag through my gun!  Im lucky to get that kind of group at 15 yards so i know i have a lot of room to improve that wont be limited by this pistol.

very positive experience.  If i could do it all over again, I would have gotten polished shiny chrome controls to match the shiny blue better, and asked for an ambi safety. No fault of David, he gave me what I asked for.  the matte chrome I think would look better on a standard poly coat finish.   

 if any of you are thinking about having david send you a turn key pistol it is worth it!  get this man your credit card info asap!

Jim I think you are the only who likes my color scheme!   anyone else have any comments?  Im thinking about rechroming or having a second set of controls chromed or just putting some OEM ones back on.   thoughts?

I'd have to see it in person (and shoot it a bunch too, if I had my rathers  O0) to say for sure.  Bluing is one of my favorite finishes, but honestly it just doesn't photograph very well.  I really think a slightly different finish on those grips would help make the wood stand out - the checkering really hides what looks to be a nice grain.

Get polished accents, they would suit better. The gun looks good still, though. Sand the grips.
Then for the matte ones left behind, get a poly coated 97 to match...
Life is too short to waste on a bad trigger pull

I think i have decided to leave it as is. im going to add silver aluminum grips from cz custom.  i think that should finish it out nicely.

Good call, I think you're right about the silver grips helping the overall aesthetic.

Beautiful pistol sir. Now that I know the controls can be polished I will have to do that if another blued one shows up.

   Love it, and love the grips just as they are, checkered!

Congrats on what sounds like an awesome trigger.  I always defer to grips that would make me shoot it better rather than how it looks.  But that's just me.

Gorgeous piece. I agree with you guys though, those grips need to be sanded and shot with some poly or sealed with some tung oil. That wood deserves better than that checkering.

If it sounds too good to be true, you should probably just shoot it.

  I love checkering... hell, if I had my druthers, the front and back strap would be checkered 20 LPI, too! (And a Colt style notch machined into the trigger guard)
