BeerBaron Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) these ones are the henning tanfoglio ones http://henningshop.com/products/tanfoglio-torx-grip-screws-h024 these are the CGW CZ ones: http://cgw.noblix.com/?product=grip-screws I actually have pairs of both and they are interchangeable. the only real difference is the henning ones are T10 torx and then cagun ones are hex (3mm from memory - they come with a basic allen key too).

SCPistolero Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I have the stainless CZ grip screws on the way. Thanks for the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCPistolero Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 So I got the CZ grip screws from CGW and they still don't look right to me. They don't fit inside the countersunk portion of the grip panel. For these expensive panels to not come with the proper screws is totally jacked. The shoulder of the screw rides on the edge of the countersunk screw hole rather than inside the hole. That cannot be correct. I'm going to the hardware store to see if I can find ones that fit properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a pair, that didn't come with any screws and the original grip screws wouldn't fit, sounds very similar to what you're describing, so I just ground them down a bit until they fit. Very easy to do with a dremel tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCPistolero Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Trimming the screws is an option. I'm going to look for some properly fitting black hex screws before going that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealio Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I'm sure kneelingatlas knows the grip screw size, and you should be able to find them on McMaster Carr, or just order from Henning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCPistolero Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Used the Dremel tool on the screw heads. I got them to fit into the countersunk portion of the panels and into the frame without stripping the screw holes. With the new panels, the Stock II has sort of a 1911 feel to it. I like it compared to the stock wood panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPostman Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 So are the Xtreme grips thicker than the Henning grips? The Henning grips are much thinner than the stock wooden grips on my Limited and I would like some that would be in between the two in thickness.

BrazeauRacing Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Xtreme grips are thinner than Henning grips. I don't believe there is anything in between the stock wood grips and Henning grips that you can buy. I sanded the stock wood grips on my Limited Pro down smooth and thinner with a belt sander and covered them with grip tape. They have a similar feel to Henning grips, but they are a little thicker.

SCPistolero Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) I put the Xtreme grips on my Stock II and it looks awesome. I took it to the range the other day and my accuracy with them has suffered a bit than when I was using the wooden grips. I suppose it's just a matter of getting used to the aluminum panels. I just think my hands are too big to use the Xtreme panels which make the grip very thin. As a test, I put the walnut panels back on the gun. I'll figure out which ones will stay on after the next range trip this weekend. Edited January 8, 2015 by SCPistolero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPostman Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Yes I too have witnessed (pun intended) this with the thinner grips. I shoot the gun better with the wooden grips due to my hand getting better purchase on the sides of the grip so I can control recoil better and the gun just fills my hand better. But I do prefer the way the gun looks with the Henning grips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 yep, same problem with me with both my CZ shadows and my stock II. it looks better with the CZ/extreme grips but I shoot the CZ better with the stock rubber grips and the stock II better with the wood grips. at least the wood grips still look nice. the CZ rubber grips are pretty ugly.

MrPostman Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 I have noticed that the grips on my Stock 2 which are the newer style are thinner than the grips on my Limited. I wonder if the new wood grips for the Limited are thinner like the ones on my Stock 2. I may have buy some of those to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 yeah the new style wood grips don't have as much of a palm swell to them as the older wood grips. so they probably are a good in between fit between thinner alloy grips (like henning and extreme) and the old style walnut grips.
