steel1212 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) I just got a new shadow and it looks like it came with a set of thin grips but I can't seem to find them anywhere. I like the look of the little small pocket of grip tape Edited March 19, 2012 by steel1212 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steel1212 Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 Those aren't them. They don't have the small oval pocket on the right side for the grip tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilbeauxdawg Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 if you look at the picture in the first link for the grips section it show the grips your looking for: http://www.doublealpha.biz/gun-accessories.htm?osCsid=101dca8099bfd75c151eaa4acb54b6dd but when you go to the second link they don't show that small patch of grip tape your looking for but the insignia at the top of the grip is the same: http://www.doublealpha.biz/gun-accessories/grips/cz-aluminum-grips hope this helps lilB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strick Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Are those as thin as the cz custom grips or are they a little thicker. I want to try a set of thicker grips since I feel like I am violating the gun at times. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They feel thicker also but they have a different cut in the back. Try the aluminum thick grips and see if that does anything for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentedr Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 They look like same ones that come on the czechmate, but don't know where you can get them otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justaute Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Brian...for thicker, more anatomical grips, look into these. I have a pair and their contoured/radius surface provide more anatomical support and subjectively fit better than the flat aluminum grips. http://czcustom.com/czgripsallongblackarched.aspx Are those as thin as the cz custom grips or are they a little thicker.

LOL I like those grips as well but I'm trying to shave some weight as well so I can play both games with my SP01. It may get to the point where I just get a 75 Shadow instead of a SP01 shadow.

justaute Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Corey...first, congrats on the Alabama win. I don't really shoot IDPA, but have tried hard to get my Shadow down to the 39oz threshold. But, alas, I gave up - had to deal with "extremely" light grips, 10-rd mags, lightened mag brake, plastic guide rod, etc. To me, there are too many variables and time is a scarce resource. I do think the 75 Shadow or the new Shadow Combat II (if you can find one) is the way to go.

Thanks!! That gun would rock but the problem is they only made 4 so it would never be production legal. My gun is currently at 40.8oz with aluminum grips and a SP01 magazine. I'm thinking I can get it down to 39 or close. We'll see if not then I'll have to do something else :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strick Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I am using the VZ grips now and they fell pretty good. I just put a set of rubber grips from a small frame witness on also and they are thick......I am trying to find something to split the difference.

lugnut Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 I too decided to just go with the Shadow T. Be aware though- the frame IS different between the two... it's not just the dust cover. The SP01 frame has beveled magwell opening- the Shadow T doesn't. It appears that the opening of the SP01 is slightly larger too- I may be wrong. The SP01 has some stippling on a small section of the back strap- the Shadow T doesn't. Everything else seems the same from what I can tell. Plus the CZ 10 round mags suck compared to the MecGar 17 rounders. So... if it's a ball buster to make the SP01 light enough for IDPA... and the regular Shadow gets you there... what are you giving up with the regular Shadow? Not enough to make it worth it IMO. I will be using my Shadow T for both IDPA and USPSA. I have small hands and love the lighter Aluminum grips - however I don't think they would be good for larger hands.

blind bat Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 It's too bad they got rid of the oval area. I have the old style on my 85 and tried the new style with my shadow. Being a lefty my support palm would slide all over the place during recoil once my hands got a little sweaty. I don't have that problem with the old grips. I ended up switching to VZ Diamond Backs and I'm really happy with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steel1212 Posted March 24, 2012 Author Share Posted March 24, 2012 EERW + End Mill / Grip Tape = EERW Signature Series Grips? The problem is the angle that are on the back of the grips aren't the same. The new ones have 2 angles and the old ones have just one angle which I like better.

smoothdraw Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) Maybe shoot a match or have a vacation in europe then buy those grips Congrats on the Alabama win Corey. Raymond Edited March 26, 2012 by smoothdraw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
