There's not much in the way of affordable aftermarket grips for the CZ 97B right now. This was my solution:

Very nice work.

How do you like your CZ97? I've been eyeing them up lately–I just might have to buy one.

Excellent effort. Here's how mine turned out:

The "tiger stripes" were the actual wood grain.

Excellent work both of you and definitely an improvement over the original for sure!

Pardon if it's not so nice to say...

But I preffer a less slippery grip to looks. If you have smaller hands it might take some thickness off and be a draw, but for most of us we should welcome the tacky vs. the slacky.:)

IZZY noted the following:

"I prefer a less slippery grip to looks. If you have smaller hands it might take some thickness off and be a draw, but for most of us we should welcome the tacky vs. the slacky."

The benefit of the polyurethane (aside from making the wood look nice) is the remarkable grip-surface it creates. It has a very reassuring non-skid feel. That's why, for example, you'll find it as the finishing coat on wooden handrails along stairways and other places where grip is critical.

As in all of these matters, one's own perception and personal taste form the bottom line.
