Buddy Bought a CZ 97B

[sensor5]

A friend of mine recently acquired a CZ 97B, which is next on my list to buy (the new model with the slim grips). I like to see how firearms work and have never had much problem completely disassembling and reassembling every firearm I own. Well, after field stripping his 97, I realized this handgun has FAR more parts than any other handgun I have ever seen. It seems to be a very complicated handgun. So many small parts. I searched You Tube, and every video I seen, no one is brave enough to completely disassemble their handgun.

Now, I know some are asking, "Why does he want to disassemble his CZ 97? That is an easy way to lose and damage parts." I agree, but I like to have the ability to troubleshoot problems and replace parts, if ever needed. I believe everyone should be familiar with the firearms.

Go to the CZ forum.....they have a lot of info there.
I have a 97b in the process of attaining full Cajionization.

What do you think of the 97B CM?

I am not familiar to the 97B CM. What is the CM? I am relatively new to CZ.

I see Cajun Gun Works has an E version.

Be very careful when reassembling the sear cage because the firing pin block lifter arm spring (I nicknamed it the F--- M spring) is easy to lose and easy to damage. Also if you removed the trigger bar lifter spring it is difficult to get proper alignment of equal height on both sides riding in the grooves on the underside of the trigger bar and to make sure it has about 2-3 mm upward pressure.. As Cm mentioned go to CZ forum and under CZ Gunsmithing read a sticky by schmeky ( David from Cajun Gun Works) named smoothing the action. Good luck

I am the CM.....

I really like the 97b. Enough to step outside my 1911 comfort zone to own one. Well, 2 now as my son snatched up the 1st one.

The 97BCM must be the Bravo Company special edition.

97B is very nice. I got to shoot two CM versions last Sunday and was very impressed!

I'm just scared because apparently they are very hard to hold on to.

The CZ 97B is the gun I really regret getting rid of. I had one that was fully Cajunized and was converted to SAO. It was very accurate. Ingo member Rob377 shot 3 rounds on a 3/4in USPSA paster target at 10 yards with my 97B.
