The CZ 97 B pairs a robust steel frame with a DA/SA action and a frame-mounted manual safety, offering the traditional CZ layout with the slide riding inside the frame rails. Its short-recoil, tilting-barrel system and 4.8 inch barrel deliver the classic 97 B shooting character in a full-size .45 ACP format.
This example bears CIP proof marks with a "21" date code and a CZ-USA Kansas City, KS import mark, identifying it as a 2021 production pistol manufactured by CZ-UB in the Czech Republic. The model was discontinued circa 2022, making late-date examples like this distinctive to collectors and CZ enthusiasts.
Controls are straightforward and familiar: a left-side magazine release, spur-type hammer, and a frame-mounted manual safety with a firing pin block. The slide features front and rear serrations, and the dust cover is smooth with no accessory rail. A beavertail frame enhances purchase and control.
Sighting is via fixed irons: a front blade with dot insert and a square-notch rear. Capacity is 10+1 with the included steel magazines that wear extended base pads. The pistol presents a uniform matte black finish across the steel slide, frame, and receiver components. Aftermarket textured tan synthetic grip panels are installed for added traction, and the original factory panels are included.
