Title: New 97BD grip options
Post by: R.A.N.G.E.R on December 08, 2019, 09:32:23 AM: I’m late to the thread, but I believe it is a Torx T-20 (size).

I’m looking at grip options. I really like the look of the black AL grips it comes with, makes it a piece of art!

But I want a little thicker grips. Have looked at several, Cool Hand, LOK, CZ-USA - Honeycombs + Ovals. I saw some nice wooden grips that are handmade, in Hungary I think. Anyone have any other options, know a company hat stocks grips for the CZ 97 or has them on the list to make custom?

Post by: R.A.N.G.E.R on December 24, 2019, 10:10:26 AM: I ordered CoolHand grips for my S2 through Amazn, like them a lot, but may surface them a bit with ultra-fine paper, or just use them and wear them in a bit - they have a very sharp grip.

I ordered walnut grips through eBa y, not sure of their origin, but I really like the look. If I ever wear out these, will look at LOKs

I like those rubber grips. Any chance you could post a picture showing the backstrap so we could see the width? :)

Post by: Tok36 on March 17, 2020, 09:06:15 PM: I do not have a picture from the rear of the grip handy but i do have the dimentions.

CZ97B/BD

(Rubber grips) Width 1.270, (Factory Aluminum thin grips) Width 1.132

Here is a picture from the bottem. This compares the CZ97 with rubber grips to an SP-01 with factory rubber grips.

Post by: goforbroke on March 17, 2020, 11:26:31 PM: I prefer the rubber grips over the thin grips. I don’t have big hands either, wear a size large glove.......barely.
Title: Re: New 97BD grip options
Post by: sothoth on March 18, 2020, 12:56:40 AM: I have VZ grips on my 75b and LOKs on my P-01. I think I have VZs on my SP-01 but don’t feel like opening up my safe to double check right now :)

The issue is the thickness but I forgot LOK has different thicknesses available so I’ll look at that

Which thin grips are you comparing to?

Post by: SEAKPhotog on March 18, 2020, 02:51:54 AM: I've got Lok palm swells on my 97. I also have a set of oem rubber grips I've tried. I'd be happy to take pix of the back strap with both sets of grips installed so you can compare. I prefer the Lok grips. Thought I'd like the rubber grips more than I do. Go figure.

Post by: SEAKPhotog on March 18, 2020, 08:01:15 PM: Lok Palm Swells and OEM rubber. I much prefer the Loks. More contour, less blocky. The rubber grips look pretty cool tho. Gives the 97 an "it means business" utilitarian look. If somebody want to try them I'd be happy to send them your way for $25 shipping included. I paid $25 plus shipping and they're new - put on the gun twice including today just to try out. Never used while firing the gun, etc.
