Ludde Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I recently purhased VZ grips palm swell model with their golfball pattern. I've previously used/tried several CZ factory grips and LOK grips bogies variants such as regular bogies, extra thick bogies and palm swell bogies (old style with the buldge in the top). I thought I would show a comparison between the recently bought VZ grips and the new LOK grips Shadow 2 palm swell model. Just so if anybody is considering bying either or the pictures might give an insight on the differences between the two. LOK Grips CZ Shadow 2 palm swell, http://lokgrips.com/gun-grips/cz-shadow-2/palm-swell/cz-shadow-2-palm-swell/ VZ Grips CZ 75 palm swell, https://vzgrips.com/pistol-grips/cz-75/palm-swells/golfball3 Some things that I've noticed: The LOK grips pattern is a bit more aggressive than VZs golf ball pattern. The swell portion of the grip is a bit more elongated on the VZ grip. Personally with my size 9 hands I would like to have the swell portion a tiny bit higher on both. The VZ ones go all the way to the top on an "old" 75 series guns. Which one fits you is not for me to state. Fit and finish is great on both and when it comes to customer service Jayson at LOK Grips is hard to beat especially if you want something tailored.

kmanick Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I just went through this myself a well, I started with the LOK palmswells , had to sand down the top lip on them as it was rubbing my support hand thumb raw, saw someone else here mention the VZ grips here , ordered a pair and now that's what on my shadow 2. I find the VZ's are a bit thinner than the Loks and not as aggressive patterned. VZ LOK Ideally I'd actually like something right between these as I do like how the Lok Swell rises a bit higher than the VZ's but for what've I got on there is working great (already dropped enough $$ on grips, yikes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbecker Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I have a pair of the lok grips on my shadow and the right side grip panel has a little movement even with grip screw tight. when i grip the gun i can feel the grip panel move slightly, I checked the screw, it was tight, have tried removing and reinstalling, but still does this any one else have this issue?

Yes, both of my grips do this on my SPO1 shadow, after about 5 min of dry fire no matter how much I torque the screw. I have some very small clear 3M double stick tape that is used on glass. I cut a couple of small pieces and installed under the grips and it has helped with the movement. If that does not work, next step I would have to try some loc tite. This happened with the original grips as well as my Lok's that I just put on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElCalvoPR Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 My LOK Grips palm swell work perfectly well on my SP01 Shadow Custom. Good grip surface and enough grip area is available. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoRivera Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 On the regular CZ75 grip models, the LOK palm swells were larger/more 'voluptuous' than the VZ ones which were actually quite subtle. Just depends on one's hand, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put blue painters tape under the grip (trimmed so it's not visible with grips installed) and it fixed the issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliYeti Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 I got the LOK Palmswells and was worried about the tapered top that they do for the Shadow 2 with my big hands (XXL-XXXL) and they've been great. They assured me it would most likely be fine since I like as much thickness in grips as I can get and they were right. LOK also said on the phone if it didn't work for me to just call him and that they would work something up for me. Amazing product and top notch customer service is hard to beat. Mine didn't have any movement in them when installed and I havne't had to use any loctite in over 2K shot with them. Just wanted to post to help any fellow large hand guys out there looking at what to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
