I have the best wife ever
« on: September 12, 2017, 12:25:16 PM »
Ive been looking at the 97 for a few months now and went to order it one day, my wife tells me to wait due to a financial crisis with our account.   Little did i know that she ordered it right out from under me and was going to squirrel it away untill my birthday. 

Well she couldn't watch me squirm so she gave it to me early.

Other than loctite on the lci , any suggestions?

Not new to cz this would be my third, but first 45acp.

Title says it all. Only suggestion is, don't do anything stupid to loose her. O0 You will enjoy shooting the 97b. I put the hogue finger grips on mine as you need good purchase on this baby. There are numerous upgrades available but shoot it first and see how you like it. This will always be a special pistol for you.

I have both a 97B  and 97BD, and I put the factory rubber grips on both of them.

Other than that, just buy a lot of ammo to feed to the 97

Well I gave her the honor of shooting it first, and i think i may have lost a gun.  She likes it best out of all my guns.

Was not it your b-day present? Sneaky move.
You can buy another one on HER b-day.

Does she wake up on some Saturday mornings and say "Let's go to the range!"?

Mine spent more than me at the gun show last weekend.

Our range is the backyard. It usually starts as "how much 9mm do we have?" .

Do you think line like this would work: "Honey, let me help you and exercise  YOUR gun for you"?

Sounds like she was playing chess while you were playing checkers.  ;D  J/K she sounds like a keeper!  Well done, sir!  You obviously have good taste.

I bought LOK Thin Bogies because I have small/medium hands and the dimensions of the stock grip made it difficult to for me get an ideal trigger pull. Oh, yeah, and I sent it in for the Cajun Gun Works "E" Conversion (includes the Reach Reduction Kit) and new FO sights.

If I had not decided to get the full "E" package, I would have still sent it in for the Bushing Modification-Conversion ("nose job"). I had put a few hundred rounds through my 97 before I sent it to CGW and my bushing seemed pretty tight and did not come unscrewed during use. But I thought, "in for a penny, in for a pound".

Congrats. Sounds a bit like my wife. She didn't blink when I bought a Versa Max Tactical and S&W .460 XVR in the same week, but promptly claimed the first 75 Compact I brought home. Now we have his and hers for EDC.

Well, at least she gave you a choice.
