Hey all. I'm looking for my next non-1911 and am considering the CZ 97B or the SP-01. Any recommendations? My 3rd choice would be the Sig P220 because of the higher price.

CZ 97B or SP-01?

2 of them are 45 caliber; 1 is a 9mm.
Very personal choice. I like the SP01 enough to own 2. It fits me very well. The trigger could use some cleaning up, as with all CZs. The CZ97 is a bit too large for my taste. The Sig220 grip is not shaped for my hands. -
For a Non 1911 Platform I am guessing would be 45 as well, I would say spend the extra $$ and get the p220 you will NOT be disappointed!"This country has a mental health problem disguised as a gun problem, and a tyranny problem disguised as a security problem." -Joe RoganComment

CZ 97 b is an excellent pistol. It has a very large grip and a long reach on the DA pull. SA very acccomodating though. They say you need large hands to enjoy this pistol - but I'll qualify that by saying not only is a large palm important but also long fingers. I have the large palm but not so long fingers, it is a bit of a reach for me in DA.
I do believe it is the most accurate pistol I own, though.
Most CZ's do benefit from an action job. Don't get sold on just a "trigger job" because the CZ action is too complex for that to be more than a little help. I send mine to Jim Miossi at Miossi Gun Works. His work is top notch.The one thing worse than defeat is surrender.Comment

The only problem I've ran into with a CZ97 is holsters. It seems that if you want an exact leather fit you'll have to have it custom made. None of the big holster makers list anything for it. I don't want just a generic because I feel it's going to wear the finish quicker. Other than that, it's one fine pistol.Comment
