Diesel24v Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I have been shooting a glock 34 in USPSA production division and decided to give a CZ a try. Picked up a Shadow 2 off of a member here and have begun shooting it. The double action first shot will certainly be a learning curve for me but I feel I am starting to get the hang of it. The trigger on it feels pretty good to me and I am not sure if its stock or not, the DA and SA feel light to me from what the factory says they should be. It has a set of LOK grips on it and they sure do lock in to my hands and they are almost too aggressive for me. I am looking forward to getting some time in with it and hope to shoot a match with it this weekend if my holster arrives on time. Hope to learn some things from you CZ masters on this forum! So far it seems to like my loads that I have been shooting out of my 34, which is 147 gn blue bullets over 3.5 of sport pistol at 1.15 oal.

MoRivera Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Welcome to the world of CZ's. As addicting as they are rewarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog317 Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Did the same thing myself this year. Shot a 34 for the last 2 years, and picked up a SPO1 Custom for USPSA and IDPA. I have 4 matches under my belt with it and absolutely love it. The more I shoot it the more comfortable and confident I get with it and now the DA is no issue at all. I too have the Thin Lok gripes and love them. Been shooting 147 gr Blue Bullet Flat nose in the Glock and now the CZ with zero issues with 3.2 grains of TG with a OAL of 1.135. Wishing I made the switch sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel24v Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 I may have to give titegroup a try again with the blue bullets. I had keyholing issues out of my 34 that I could not get to go away until I switched powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw you said they were too aggressive, I just bought a S2 and am looking at getting a set of Lok in the near future. Didn’t know what pattern they were.

45 Raven Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 If you are looking for aggressive LOK grips, goes with the Bogies. For a less aggressive LOK grip, try the Matrix model. I like the thin Bogies on my competition CZ's and the thin Matrix gips on my carry pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks They look to be the G10 Bogie Gray black from the website as they do not have the cutout where the mag release is.

I believe that they are the Bogies the G10 version not the palm swell. They are plenty aggressive. I have rough hands and they took a couple days to stop hurting after dry fire. But all seems ok now but I may try a set of the palm swells for some of the Shooting sports innovation scales next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh gotcha, I have heard great things about the Bogies and a lot have said they are very aggressive. Have you happened to try any other grips out that have suited you a little better?

Understandable, a friend of mine said that the path of finding the right grip for you is a long windy path that takes some a very long time to find the end of haha. I've heard a lot of good things about LOK, Henning, and SSI. Be happy to hear your thoughts on whatever you get your hands on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel24v Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share Posted October 29, 2018 I will most certainly share my findings if I get some new ones. I honestly didn't realize I had the thinner LOK grips on mine. I have fairly large hands so I may need something wider. But honestly the ones I have don't feel small to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run the LOK with palm swells and for my larger hands, they feel great. I like the Bogies (golf ball like) texture. I usually shoot 147 coated SNS bullets behind 3.2 of VVN320.
