It's a metal gun! you can buy an extended-release button for a few dollars if you like.
Who makes an actual extended release for a CZ97? Inquiring minds want to know
The only thing I've ever seen is apparently CGW can take a shadow release and modify it to fit the 97.
It's definitely not an "off the shelf" part.
Still, you're avoiding the simple fact that it is NO WORSE than a 1911 or a Beretta or an H&K. FNX, on the other hand, is a lot more difficult to reach the release button.
Nope, not avoiding anything other than that your comparison was pure shit.
The CZ97 mag release purchase "arrangement" is total dog shit compared to a lot of guns. This is, in part, because the grip circumference is horrendously
bad.
Also you mentioned HK. Even the MK23 has a better arrangement for a release. (and that thing is a school bus with a blimp mounted to the top)
How many rounds is in 1911?
1911s don't count, different ballgame, nobody cross shops a 1911 against this
gun. The 1911 and 2011 for that matter live on their own special island of immunity, lol.
For the others.... a gun with a grip frame as big as a CZ97 is the capacity is meh, there's no getting around that, but that per se,
wouldn't stop me from buying one, but I can see why this is a sales/marketing problem for guns in this class.
How many rounds are allowed in H&K45 or FNX here in MA?
Don't care, I don't really think about MA bullshit when evaluating a gun.
Like I said, the capacity isn't even the biggest problem, but its in the mix for guns in this class.
The CZ97's problem is its "a gun without a home." If they improved the ergos, added a light rail and maybe an optic plate, it'd still be relevant, even as a 10 round
gun.
Sadly I don't think they will reincarnate it, although I hope I am wrong. .45 sales are not what they used to be, and as time goes on 1911 island is becoming a larger part of that sales
number.
