Introduced in 1997, the CZ 97 in .45 ACP is the Big-Bore Younger Brother to the CZ 75, one of the best combat handguns in the world. With a 10 round capacity magazine, the CZ 97 BD brings a higher round count to the field of self-defense 45s without becoming cumbersome or overly large. Excellent ergonomics, slim aluminum grip panels, and an extended beavertail make this big-bore pistol easy to shoot and easy to control. The steel frame and steel slide, with a full-length dust cover, adds more weight to the CZ 97 BD which helps reduce perceived recoil and muzzle flip and get the gun on target faster. Fixed luminescent sights help you see your sights and get on target in varying light levels. The smooth double action and crisp single action trigger make accurate shooting the rule and not the exception. A manual decocking lever safely drops the hammer to the half-cock position for carry. For shooters that prefer handgun calibers that begin with a "4" the CZ 97 BD is an exceptional pistol to add to your collection.
