Out of Box to Match Review CZ BIG BORE 97BD

[P.E. Kelley]

Haven't had much "competition use" for the 45ACP in the last few years, but this CZ Custom offering
proved fun to shoot and was my 57th birthday gift.

You're slacking. I watched that video last week. :cool:

Happy belated Birthday

[Robert Mitchum]

Happy Birthday .. I still like 45's .. great video.

[TheNewbie]

Happy bday and thanks for letting us in on the fun you have.

[P.E. Kelley]

Thank you, you are quite welcome and...I really love this "shooting thing"!

[JeffDG]

Happy Birthday! I love your enthusiasm and the content!

[Xrslug]

Really enjoy your videos -- the concept of the out-of-the-box review and your enthusiasm. My favorite to date was your vintage British revolver review. Thanks for posting!

[StraitR]

Great stuff, as usual Patrick. Happy belated Birthday!

I need some steel challenge in my life.

I don't watch videos for the most part, but I have always like that heavy .45ACP monstrosity.

[Coal Train]

Thanks Patrick. I always appreciate the joy you display in all your videos.

That CZ looks pretty awesome.

The best part was this exchange:

Wife - "What are you watching?"
Me - "A very lucky guy."
Wife - "No. Seriously."
Me - "Watching a guy shoot a gun I'll never be able to afford. That his wife bought him. For his birthday..."
Wife - "What gun?"

And then the negotiations started...

I have been interested in the CGW customized version, wonder how this compares versus that

I would imagine very much the same, with the biggest difference in the barrel bushing. CGW fits a 1911 unit.

In regards to the ambi decocker, was this a one off, or can they do it on any custom 97 they build? I am speaking about CZ Custom.

Southpaw guns aren't often requested, but they didn't hesitate to accommodate when I asked...so I am confident you could get the same.

Great, thanks for the info.

A little off topic, but, earlier this week, I went to a shop about 30 miles away from me to look for a P-10c, they did'nt have any. But, they did have a CZ Shadow2, (frankly, I was quite suprised to see one out in the wild) I tried the DA/SA trigger pulls and was utterly shocked...That had to be the best DA/SA trigger I've tried in a loooong time, now, I can't quit thinking about it..Damn you CZ! I need that Shadow about like I need another hole in the head, still I can't stop thinking about it.....

Patrick, thanks for the excellent review. The CZ97's been out there seemingly forever, quietly gathering laurels in its niche. While the niche for me is nicely filled by a Glock 21, I appreciate your sharing.

And, needless to say, congratulations on the birthday-and to your wife. Mine similarly got me a Colt Series 70 for our last anniversary.

Best, Jon

I guess I am a guy with lots of 45 acp Niche's to fill. :)
