The CZ-97 .45 ACP is a robust, accurate, and reliable duty-style pistol manufactured in the Czech Republic. Its unique threaded barrel bushing system provides exceptional barrel lock-up, enhancing practical accuracy.

This test demonstrates that the .45 ACP cartridge retains significant lethality and penetration capabilities far beyond typical self-defense ranges.
