Cz-75 SP-01 Grip Recommendations

[tcp112275]

I have ordered my SP-01. It is the safety version.  As I impatiently await it's arrival can someone recommend grips. Please discuss the pros and cons of your recommendation. Thank you in advance.

Hogue wooden grips. Beautiful and good grip. Expensive and not  well in wet environments.

The stock rubber grips are excellent - these are the grips I have on mine they are very comfortable and grippy.

VZ or LOK grips are also good choices if you want a thinner grip. They are available in a variety of patterns and colors.

CZ cocobolo grips are very popular and look very classy. Hogue makes g10 and wood grips also, if that's your thing.

Marschal grips are gorgeous custom exotic woods, if you can stand the wait.

CZ or CZ Custom aluminum grips are super thin. Not very grippy, but you can easily add grip tape.

The aluminum scale grips from shooting sports innovations are very popular among competition circles.

I think that about rounds out the common choices! I've used all of the above except for Marschal and Hogue.

What fits your hand the best, because it is all about control. Sorry, no one size fits all.

I have used all the CZ factory styles; wood,  hard, rubber, aluminum. Had wood; Haken, Houge, Nill, and others. Tried thin, thick, super thin. Used rubber wraparounds by Houge, Pachmyer. Got several different VZ patterns.

What works or doesn't for me; love VZ with tactical diamond pattern since they don't get super hot in the 120 degree summer and stay gripping when my hand is sweaty, like wood for target grips and CCW because clothes don't grab on it, don't like thin grips, don't like rubber wraparounds because they don't fit and place my fingers where I don't want them plus they get slick and soft in the heat. The CZ rubber are OK and I have lived with them on a couple of guns.

I don't buy grips to match a tactical style or offset the finish on a gun, it's all about function first for me.

I love the rubber grips on my P-01, but don't care for the SP-01 rubber quite as much. The little thumb rest bump doesn't feel right. I wish they made the std. 75 plastic grips in rubber. I have VZ Tactical Diamonds on my P-06. They look nice but I miss the palm swell of the oem rubber grips.

I would take your SP-01 to the range first before you get different grips. I've thought about replacing mine, but they are so comfortable that I doubt that I would like anything better. The stock rubber grips make my SP-01 feel like they were made for me

I plan on this being a range gun/bump in the night gun. No competition shooting yet. I just plan on shooting as fast as I can reload my empty brass. I like all the options that are out there for this gun.

Once you shoot it, you are going to be very spoiled.  It's a very soft shooting, very accurate pistol.  In fact, it's my favorite shooting pistol.  The recoil is so minimal that after your last shot, you're right back on target.

I put a set of vz grips on, 2 extra mags, 1k rounds of s&b 124gr and a 10x bushing from cgw.  I haven't shot it since the 10x bushing install but it's already a very accurate pistol so it should be even more so now.

The stock grips are too thick for me. CZ Custom thin aluminums were too thin. VZs with tactical diamonds work well for me.

If this is your intended use, I recommend you try the rubber grips - they are comfortable, grippy and well contoured. In my opinion, their only downside is that they can grab clothing if the pistol is worn close to the body or IWB. Even with the recurve trigger of the SP-01, they can be too thick for some people. If that's the case, LOK or VZ grips will serve you well and are available in a variety of patterns and colors. I'm partial to the "frag" pattern which offers a good balance from grip and comfort.

I've yet to see a set of wood grips on a CZ that didn't look fantastic, but in my experience I've not found a set that offers the functional texturing of the rubber, VZ or LOK grips.

Regardless of what you choose, enjoy your SP-01! It's a great pistol, and will do everything you need it to and then some.

I prefer the stock rubber grips because they are comfortable and ergonomic.

I've got VZ grips on a couple of my Kimber 1911s, which was definitely an improvement because their stock grips ("Custom"!!!) weren't particularly useable, and in fact were pretty ugly.

If I had to replace the grip on my SP-01, I'd replace them with the factory rubber grips and not give it a second thought.

BTW, even now waiting on my rubber grips for my CZ 97 BD -- the aluminum grips are really nice to look at, and too smooth to be of much use.

It depends what you are doing and what your preference is.  If you are a reformed plastic gun shooter then the aluminum grips with skate tape on the front and back straps will do, or you can get the "lemon grater" ones from CZC or CZUB for a little better traction. 

VZ grips make the gun feel almost like a 1911 with VZ grips. 

The SSI grips make the gun feel like a 2011. 

The wood ones and stock CZ plastic grips have good Palm swells if that is your thing. 

I can find something to like about each of them.

I have fairly small hands and I love the checkered thin aluminum grips from CZC.

Honestly, the stock rubber grips are my favorite; I left them on my SP-01, and only replaced them on my PCR because I wanted something that wouldn't grip my shirt during CC.

The VZ grips come closest to approximating the original rubber grips - the rubber is a bit thicker at its widest point, but shaped differently and has a little give to it. The cocobolo CZ grips are way too thick for me, and the thin aluminum grips are just a bit too thin. I have not tried the checkered aluminum yet.
