CZ Grips

[troyboy50]

Would love to track down a pair of grips, preferably stag or elk, for my sp01. Nothing on the web. Anyone ever seen a st?

[yqtszhj]

Never seen any of those for a CZ. Seems like most grips out there are G10 or rubber from what I remember. A nice thin set of stag grips would look nice I bet.

Maybe the GRIP MASTER will chime in and can help? :yo:

I don't have a CZ or know anybody local I could borrow one from or I'd give it a twirl. Sorry.

[troyboy50]

What part of the country are you located? I've got extra grips I could send if that might help. Recently had my right hand tore up by a dog, 51 stitches and surgery. Hand is a little sensitive, and smooth bone or wood is so much more comfortable than the plastics.

Sadly I'm up in Washington State. It's very difficult to make a grip from a grip. I'll look around and see if I can find some good pictures of your CZ to see if it's even possible.

You can buy aftermarket aluminum ones. They don't have the palm swell, but are very nice otherwise.

I found some decent pictures of the CZ P01. Single screw and has a little hook whittled into the front of the grip. I've done a couple similar and they are a might challenging.
On the plus side I've hankered for a CZ for a long long time, never could settle on which one. The P01 looks pretty nice, I might try to track one down and then I'll have a model. Good enough reason to get one right?

[yqtszhj]

That’s good enough reason. Item worth noting. There is a P-01 and P-01 Omega. Difference is the Omega is a decocker/safety version where the standard P-01 is decocker only. The decocker rotation direction is forward on the omega version. On the standard version it’s towards the rear.

Trigger supposed to be better on the Omega also.

[Bawanna]

One reason I don't have a CZ, there's so many different options and models, my head spins. I would want decocker only, and seems like I would want forward rotation on the decocker but I'll have to look at that some.

[dao]

The Omega trigger "system" was also put in some of their other models. As an upgrade.

The sp01 and old school 75s have same grip. I assume the hump on back side of grip is what makes it difficult for stag or bone. I've got the original style triggers on my cz's, very smooth. Not as good as a good 1911 though.

[Bawanna]

Actually the hardest part is the little hook that keeps the front of the grip tight. Hi Powers are the same way. I did one set and really nailed it, got lucky. The second hardest part is finding the right size piece of antler or bone.
Has to be just right so you can get it thin which you have to do from the back to maintain the good looks on the outside without making the grip too small to cover the frame.
Stag is tough really. I wondered about the SP01 and the 75's being the same, they look the same in pictures.
I was shopping last evening so the wheels are turning, course if I get one then I need to make two sets, one for you and one for me.
Not as good as a good 1911 gives me pause cause that's what I carry everyday, the CZ would be "different". But even if relegated to a range gun I'd still love to have one.

[kenemoore]

I have three, CZ's. A PCR for carry, a SP01, and a Shadow 2. The PCR has a decocker and a decent trigger. The SP01 has a better trigger, and the Shadow2 has a great trigger, better than some 1911's. I bought the PCR to carry, more rounds than my CCO, but after a few months, went back to the CCO, not sure why, just felt right.

[Bawanna]

I had kind of decided the PCR was the one for me but once again confusion reins. I've always wanted a Shadow but wouldn't part with the loot. I cut loose for the Sig P210 Target which I don't regret in the least.
So SP01 with "better trigger" might be the one. I definitely want decocker only in a normal human functioning operation like a 1911.
