Custom KYDEX® Holsters for the CZ 97B
The CZ 97 B is the answer to a question only the faithful ever asked — what if the 75 came in .45 ACP? All steel, ten rounds of big bore, the heaviest and smoothest-shooting gun CZ ever put in a dust cover, and now discontinued and climbing in the hearts of everyone who owns one. ANR Design builds custom KYDEX® CZ 97 B holsters precision-formed in Manchester, NH on a dedicated 97 B shell — this is not a scaled-up 75 mold; the 97’s larger frame and slide are their own geometry, formed exactly. Carry it IWB, in our standard OWB, or in the Nidhogg — made to order, priced and lead-timed live in the builder below.

CZ 97 B Fitment & Compatibility
Our CZ 97 B holsters are molded on a dedicated shell formed to the .45’s actual dimensions — the 97 is a genuinely bigger gun than the 75 it descends from, and a 75-molded shell will never retain it. The steel frame, hammer, and railless dust cover are all accounted for, with retention clicking on the trigger guard and hammer-down DA/SA carry as intended.
Every 97 B holster clears suppressor-height sights as standard, with optic accommodation for slide-milled red dots.
Carry Options for the CZ 97 B
OWB — Standard & Nidhogg: The 97’s natural habitat — forty-plus ounces of steel .45 rides best on the belt, and the dedicated fitment covers range days, working carry, and the classic big-bore rig in modern KYDEX®.
Inside the Waistband (IWB): For the committed — and 97 owners usually are — our IWB rig makes it as civilized as a full-size steel .45 gets: in-house concealment claw, your choice of injection-molded clips, heat-treated DCC Monoblock steel, or the NeoMag Alias system, with ride height and cant adjustment. Made to order, with the exact lead time shown live in the builder.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a CZ 75 B holster fit my 97 B?
No — the 97 is dimensionally larger throughout, and a 75-molded shell won’t close or retain on it. Ours is a dedicated 97 B fitment, molded on the actual gun.
Do you still make CZ 97 B holsters?
Yes — actively. CZ discontinued the 97, but it keeps a dedicated fitment in our IWB and OWB builders, made to order like everything we build.
Can I get a light-bearing 97 B holster?
No — the 97 B has no accessory rail, so every 97 holster we build is a non-lightbearing configuration.
Do you make a mag carrier for the 97 B?
Not currently — the 97 runs its own .45 magazines rather than the 75 pattern, and a dedicated 97 mag fitment isn’t in our builders yet. Contact us if you need one; demand decides what we mold next.
What warranty comes with a CZ 97 B holster?
Every ANR Design holster includes a free Lifetime Warranty on the KYDEX® shell for the original purchaser — automatic on every order, no registration.
