I own the CZ, but to answer your question: no, I don't shoot the gun regularly these days, or any other .45AUTO regularly for that matter, not with the price of factory .45 ammo at what it is nowadays.
I don't reload, and even if I did components such as primers are still something of a PITA to source.
EDIT: The 97B is very easy shooting, though the DA part of the trigger pull is a bit jerky. I've considered re-springing it to a lighter pull as I've done with a couple of my other CZs in 9mm, but since I don't take it out much these days that's something that has become a backburner project. I seem to have an increasing list of those 'backburners'...

I own and shoot a HK USP in 45acp. As soft shooting and as outstanding a gun as it is its not my first choice when I grab a 45. The flipper style mag release is what keeps me from carrying it or using for anything dedicated. Nothing wrong with its function its just not natural for me so it looses out.

I shoot a CZ 97 BD which was overhauled by Cajun and it is the best shooting 45 that I own. That included 1911's Sig 220's and HK 45 and 23. It is just a pleasure to shoot. Luckily I have some 45's left over from years ago as I agree the current pricing is a bitch.
I don't shoot my USP Expert 45 much. Honestly until I find a LEM conversion kit I don't think I will. It is best of breed HK DA/SA trigger and it isn't much to write home about. Great gun with a meh trigger.

I shoot my HK45 with the lite LEM trigger on a regular basis. It’s very accurate and reliable. In fact, I am thinking about having it cut for a rds of some kind.
