Looking forward to a range report!
Consider doing that to my 97...yer making me jealous. I’ll use some of that stimulus money.

Very cool gun! I wanted one so badly when I was shooting .45's in the early days of IDPA. The problem with the CZ97 was that it was too big for my hand.

Will this trigger shorten the reset? I am sending my 97 B for the same job.

Not trying to be a smartass, but why convert a 97B to SAO? Why not just start with a higher end 1911?
Do you prefer the ergonomics of the 97b, or the extra 2 rounds?

I have small hands and use it for a IDPA. I have to give the gun a little flip to get my thumb over to the mag release. I haven’t dropped it yet...

That's exactly what I was afraid of.

True, but for me it is all about trigger pull. I love this gun, but my hand is small for this full size gun. This conversion will make the trigger closer and shorten the reset.
I was at the Machinegun Nest today with my 97B and my new HK P30. I had with me 100 rounds of .45 Wolf and 50 rounds of 9mm Wolf and 50 rounds of WWB 124 grain. Today was the first time I shot my P30. I am familiar with the P30 though as I have a P30L since 2009.
The P30, at 7 yards, was accurate defensively. All 100 rounds were in the middle torso that could be covered by my hand. The 97B was a lot more accurate than the P30 though as expected. The group was a lot tighter that I started shooting at the head area of the target. And the recoil of the 97B was just a tad more than the P30.

CZs have a very different grip and ability to get very high on the gun to lower the bore axis. Result is that many people can control the recoil flip a little better than a 1911. Then there are the people who shoot shadows, czechmates, or Tac sports who want the same feel in a 45. If you shoot IDPA, 97 mags are easier to get lined up and into the gun for reloads too. CZs are also not picky about Ammo and just plain run.
Oh, and high end 1911s are $$$$$.
