tha1000 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Thanks..I think I will chance it. I like the way they look.. besides, you can never have too many sets of grips. Good luck. I'm intrigued, but not $126 intrigued... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tha1000 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) Got that set of XCel grips in today. The pics were deceiving. They are pretty much the same profile as my vz tactical diamonds... VZ on left, Xcel on right. Additionally, I am not sure how I am going to like the pattern on them... well, I like the pattern, just not sure how grippy they are going to be. I'll install them on my dryfire gun tonight and run them for a bit. They do have a return policy, so I can send them back if I hate them. We'll see. EDIT: Not sure how I double posted that one photo, nor can I figure out how to fix it. Edited March 28, 2016 by tha1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanniek71 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 I've got some Toni's (as shown before) I will weigh tonight. Also may be looking to move them along before I get crazy and hand texture them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping they would be different giving everyone another option to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tha1000 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 I'm most likely going to take my checkering file to them before I run them in a match. Practice tomorrow will determine that. But yeah, they're pretty much identical spec to the vz, perhaps a little flatter across the back, but certainly no thicker or any more curved.

Might as well not even have a pattern, but I think it could be easily fixed with a file or dremel. The bad news is that the internet says g10 will ruin a file and your lungs... so I guess I'm going to send them back to the manufacturer for a refund.

tha1000 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Has anyone used the Hogue grips? If so, how do they compare in thickness to the VZ's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzt Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Well. Got the Toni system grips in. And love them. They are a bit heavy. I need to weigh the pistol/mag to make sure I am legal. The grips weigh 42.5 grams each. So 85 grams total. Vs the 48 grams from the czc thins ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDM Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Has anyone used the Hogue grips? If so, how do they compare in thickness to the VZ's? Which Hogues? I have tape on a set of the smooth aluminum, they are a bit thicker than the VZs. I have a set of the Hogue rubber (cut the finger grooves off to make two panels. They are very similar to the VZ. If I get time and remember I can measure them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassman5 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 CZC "Lemon Graters" thick Thanks for the pic's. I have a pair of the same showing up tomorrow. What is the width at the back of them from screw to screw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kneelingatlas Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I sold them, but the width is pretty uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpacker Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I just ordered the regular LOK Bogey grips yesterday. I then read about the new ones you guys are working on. I will give them a shot. They sound like they have a pretty good guarantee that you will be satisfied. How did you like these? Is there any curvature at all, or is it really flat? I saw their newer ones but they might be too much palm swell for my small hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ordered two sets. http://lokgrips.com/gun-grips/cz-75/palmswell-bogies-black/ These look awesome. I'm not sure I'd want even bigger than the rubber grips but who knows, with the thumb relief maybe it wouldn't be an issue for smaller hands. Here's a good look at these: http://www.imgrum.net/media/1243066428228172994_2159994158 Edited May 5, 2016 by rpacker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHicks8h Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Sorry to be late to this, but I have been super busy so I have not had time to post the comments about the mag relief. We ended up doing a total of 11 revisions to get with what we thought was right without sacrificing the grip above the mag relief. There will be what I call a half relief option that is cut on the angle you see in the instagram photo and there will be a full relief that I will post a you tube video to once it is uploaded. I ran a full set at the Battle in the Blue Grass with no relief and had no issues. I ended up taking several pre-orders off that match. Upon returning from the Bluegrass we worked over several changes to the relief cuts. I ended up running the half relief as posted in the instagram photo in a 2 day class I taught last weekend. I personally had to remove some sharp edges due to the aggressive checkering. I have had several of the prototypes in hands of several B class shooters, a few Ms, and one of our local GMs. Almost all of them are ordering them. On Monday I was able to try out the full relief on several transition drills. I finished with a personal best of 2:37 on 4 Aces with multiple runs under 2:50. I tried the same drill with the full grips on and could not get on the magazine button as fast. I personally don't like to flip the gun, but others might prefer these due to how they reload. I have not had the past issues I had on index due to missing a draw. I will have these for sale on my website or at matches in central, IL at the same price Jayson at LOK grips is selling for. Jayson is not a regular in competition pistol and doesn't follow the enos forums, so I will try to answer most the questions if there are any on these. After running all three models I will be running the half relief as depicted in the instagram photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tha1000 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 So is the relief offered on the LOK website the half relief? There are only two options. Jayson said mine would ship Monday or Tuesday of next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tha1000 Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I really think these might be a game changer for cz shooters with man sized hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
