The CZ 97B is a semi-automatic handgun introduced in 1997 in the .45 ACP caliber. The CZ 97B is essentially the CZ 75B in .45 ACP rather than 9mm, leading many gun enthusiasts to call the 97B the "big brother" to the very popular CZ 75B.

Design

Features include a screw-in barrel bushing and loaded chamber indicator. It retains all the functionality, ergonomics and accuracy of its smaller sibling. The CZ 97B carries a full 10 rounds in the double column magazine.

In 2013 thin aluminum grips and a fiber optic front sight were added and improvements were made to the feed ramp to improve reliability.
