    My CZ-97B is the first pistol I ever bought, and it's still the best pistol I own. I own a Sig 229, Para P-14 Limited, CZ-52, and CZ-75B... the '97 is still the best one out of the bunch.

    I won't claim to know H&K though, as I've never seriously tried one out other than a friend's USP - it was nice, but I still prefer the '97B.

    Now, you might wanna use lock-tite on the screws, as the grip screw on the '97 LOVE to back out on you. Or you could do my solution...

    I used heat to make a Hogue CZ-75 grip more pliable, and expanded it until it fit onto the CZ-97. The resulting grip is the best feel I've ever had on a handgun, and the screws never tried to back out on me again. I guess the rubber holds it steady. If I were to do it again, I would be a little more careful with the butane torch, as I wound up with the rubber splitting a little along the front - it doesn't seem to interfere with function, but it would probably be an issue if I were using it in a holster a lot. The heat also seemed to make the rubber along the front a little more tacky (in the tactile sense, almost sticky).



    The CZ-97B also benefits from the recoil buffer from http://www.sprinco.com/. It makes a small but noticeable difference when firing normally, but really comes into its own when firing double-taps. I've got the buffer from Norecoil.com in my CZ-75, but it doesn't feel like as effective as the Sprinco one.

        Well i did it. Filled out the paperwork for a CZ97b Poly today. The grip on that thing just blows me away. It feels like warm apple pie . Anyway, when my 10 days are up I'll snap some pics for you all and give a range report. Thanks to all for your help.

          Poly? They have polymer grips now? If they feel anything like the factory-default Sig grips from my 229, I may have to look at replacing my Hogue mod...

          Edit: Darn, that's just poly-coat on the gun, not polymer grips.

            No, Polycoat. It the finish of the gun

            Edit: never mind you got it.

              Congrats! There's no feeling quite like finally finding and buying the gun of your dreams.

                  Yup thats the one. I LOVE the grip. I still have to pay my dues. I keep forgetting to bring extra money when I go. I normally only bring $20 in cash with me and since they don't take CC I'm always shrot on dues.

                      I don't see the Witness Elite Gold on the approved pistol list. The only way you can buy one is to have someone who owns one in CA sell it to you by PPT.
