MIR,

If you have < a medium hand size and want a CZ pattern gun in .45, the only choice is the Witness .45. The Witness mag holds 10 rounds, has a grip frame size nearly identical to the CZ-75 series, will reliably feed virtually any hollow-point bullet (which the CZ-97 can't do), is quite a bit cheaper, and has a deeply curved trigger that accomodates shorter fingers.

Since the Witness is physically the same size as the 75 series, you have a better chance for occassional concealed carry, which is not an option on the 97.

I have a 97 and a Witness .45.
