New addition- CZ97B

Haven't seen or heard anything about the Phoenix Redback but it looks really nice but as you alluded to, probably way above my pay grade too! I also second your notion of looking for a used (but in great condition), Sphinx AT2000!

I've had two chances to buy an AT2000 and both came at times where I was selling guns to stay afloat, not buy. If one comes along one of these days for anything close to a sane price, I'm going to get it, if it's even slightly a sane thing to do.

The 97B has to be the softest shooting .45 out there. I've gotten CGW to do their "E" conversion and installed a stainless guide rod, extended thumb safety, and adjustable rear sight. Now it has a trigger very almost as good as my 1911s.

I replaced the grips on my pistol today. Feels better, we’ll see if that translates to shooting better.

Went with these G10 Lok grips over the original wood.

Remind me of the Simonich Gunner grips I love on my 1911s

30’ offhand. Grips made a huge difference

Thanks for the info on this. It’s on the gotta get list.

The original grips look nice but leave something to be desired wrt getting a good grip. I like your new grips and the functional proof of the pudding is the shooting results. I changed out the grips on mine, too. This is what I have on there now:

I've always liked the gun but never owned one. I'd love to see the 97 chambered in 10mm.

Just break out your pocket book, CZ custom can hook you up.

I must be getting senile. I had a 97B for about 6 months years ago. I didn't love it, so off it went when I needed money.
