The CZ-97B was CZ's 1997 attempt to capture the American .45 ACP market, diverging from the CZ-75 with an ejection port locking system and a unique barrel bushing. Despite its quality, it faced commercial challenges due to its 10-round capacity, influenced by the 1994 AWB, and its bulk compared to the 9mm CZ-75 and the popular 1911.

The video details updated features like fiber optic sights, thin aluminum grips, and a screw-in barrel bushing, while comparing its ergonomics to the 1911 platform. The assessment confirms the CZ 97B as a powerful and accurate option.
The CZ 97B is a .45 ACP variant of the CZ 75, updated in 2013 with thinner aluminum grips and a fiber optic front sight for improved ergonomics and visibility. It features a DA/SA action, internal slide rails for reduced recoil, and all-steel construction weighing 41 ounces with a 4.8-inch barrel.
