cocked and locked 97
i must admit, after further analysis, that the 1911 is probably always going to be easier to conceal than a 97. Not to say the 97 is not concealable.
Someone mentioned the long trigger pull of the 97. I believe that is an apples to oranges comparison. sure there is a long reach to the trigger in double action mode on the 97 but, lest we forget, the standard 1911 is incapable of that altogether. when the 97 is carried cocked and locked like I would carry a 1911, the reach is much shorter and very comfortable.
I don't think i would go as far as to call the 97 grip fat, as(for me) double stack .45's like the para seem as large or larger(still comfortable in my stubby paws). and as bart metions, there is only 1/4 inch difference in the grips and that is only an 1/8 inch on either side of the axis. This is a major deal given that we are comparing a single to a double stack. A 1/4 inch difference is very slim indeed and I think a halmark of the entire cz line. -ddt
