These are Mec Gar which are great but they also have the stock CZ mags too

All 97 series magazines are made by Mec-Gar, regardless of any external markings.  The OEM mags were even marked "Mec-Gar" for many years.  The newer ones seem to fit better, so the ones sold as "Mec-Gar" probably have the gap you will see in all of my photos.

I knew that about the 75's but didn't know about the 97,

No worries.  I still haven't been able to find anyone else with a '98, but who has actually tried all of the magazine variants.  To this day, I'm not 100% positive if the newer OEM style will alter the gap enough to justify the purchase.  I know it won't completely eliminate it, so I've been too cheap to try.

Thanks all. Still waiting for the email from Buds saying it was shipped, they should have gotten my money by now. Thanks to a post here I was able to finally get one. All but gave up. Got a couple FNXs, but once the 97 get back from dave  at CGW and i break it in Im sure from what all I have been reading it will be my new carry.

I call it the "Bohemian Eagle." 

I have a good carry holster (Ken Null Speed Scabbard, as depicted in other threads), but I've never really carried it on a daily basis.  I prefer a snub. 

IMHO, the 97B is the perfect "hip gun."  A 97B treated as a SA pistol doesn't really need much modification, if any.

Im used to carrying a springfield xd45 or glock 21. So main difference is about 9 punces in weight
