The CZ 97B is a semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Česká zbrojovka (CZ), a Czech firearms company. It is chambered in .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) and is designed for those who prefer a full-size, all-steel frame handgun chambered in this powerful caliber.The CZ 97B features a manual safety and a single-action/double-action (SA/DA) trigger system. The SA/DA trigger means the first shot can be fired in either single-action (with the hammer cocked) or double-action (with the hammer decocked) mode. Subsequent shots are fired in single-action mode as the slide cycles and cocks the hammer.

The pistol has a 10-round magazine capacity and utilizes a traditional, hammer-fired design. It features a steel frame and slide construction, offering durability and a solid feel. The CZ 97B has a slide-mounted decocker, allowing for safe decocking of the hammer without engaging the manual safety.

To ensure proper and safe operation, it is highly recommended to consult the specific CZ 97B owner’s manual provided by the manufacturer. The manual will contain detailed information on the pistol’s operation, disassembly, cleaning, and maintenance procedures.

If you are an owner of the CZ 97B or are considering purchasing one, I recommend referring to the manufacturer’s official website or contacting CZ directly for the most up-to-date version of the manual, as it may have been revised or updated since my knowledge cutoff date of September 2021.
