nick779 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 What has your experience been with grips in general or Loks if you run them? Im on the fence between bogies and roughnecks, and most locals who have CZs shoot with SSI Scales, but im not a huge fan of them. Lok did state that I could order a few sets and just return what I dont want but imo that seems like a crappy thing to do to them especially if I want something with inlays. I did ask if they had a reject pile they could send me that I would pay for return shipping just to test different textures/thicknesses out but they said they didnt have anything.

bimmer1980 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 New bogies can hurt if your hands are soft. After a while you will get calluses and everything is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moto_wrench Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I have the palm swell bogies on my S2. The profile fills my hands great. The texture is "sharp" at first but I got comfortable with it quickly. The material is very easy to work with a file for a more personalized fit if need be. There was one particular point or peak in the texture that was chewing up my strong hand pinkie. 2 passes with a file made them perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketRyan Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I really liked the palm swell bogies, great traction. I had the scales 2.0 for a while, they worked good, but I feel the bogies were better. I don't use any grip enhancements either (progrip etc).

BJB Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 For competition use, get the bogies without a doubt. They are aggressive & stick in your hand. If someone finds them too aggressive or that they hurt,...........well, then your hands are too soft to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czgunsalot Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I agree with everyone LOK GRIP PALM SWELLS BOGIES. Been running them for 3 years best grips I’ve ever bought. I had vz, scales, oe steel shadows. in my opinion i want the most traction I can get, dry fire every night and you’re hands will build up. Plus the palms swells aids in giving me more realestate for my support hand. I have a light weight setup coming for carryoptic division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superpipe9 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I must’ve gotten a bad pair or something. My palm swell bogies are not aggressive at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlpressley Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Palm swell bogies on all of my CZ’s. Won’t use any other grip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah some people have bony hands with not much meat on them too (like me) Bogies are fine but I knocked them back with a bit of filing/sanding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reverse_edge Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Order something more aggressive than you think you'd want ,and you can always file down any hot spots. Alternatively, if you find it's not aggressive enough, you can always add silicon carbide. Or do both and have pretty ugly but extremely functional grips.

Im split between Bogies or Roughnecks. Hopefully I can find a few guys with different grips I can try out for feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bimmer1980 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) Take Bogies. If they are not really agressive, send them back, they have to be. You will get used to it if they hurt a bit. Edited March 26, 2019 by bimmer1980 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy kemlo Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I have had the thin grips and the palm swells. I prefer the palm swells over the thin grips or any other grip that I have tried. I do not like the bogie texture. I know it is very aggressive but I think the full checkered grips just as well and feels much better in my hand. For my hands I don’t think more aggressive equals better grip. I can move my hand easier on the gun with checkered and there are so many very small sharp points that the traction is amazing.

RoanWrangler Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Found the bogies to be fine, but too thin for my hands. Then, tried palm swells. The shape was not for me. Hennings were the best fit. BTW heard that LOK will produce custom fits at a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGus Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I've been using Lok grips on all my competition guns. I've run both Bogey and Roughneck pattern. Both work great. Great traction. I slightly prefer the Bogey pattern. And I run the palm swell on my CZ's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I have smaller hands and the thin bogies are the best grip I've tried. Much better than the CZC with grip tape or scales. They are grippy enough that the gun does not move around even when your hands are sweaty in August. IMO they are perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew1220 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 I run the checkered texture and find those are plenty aggressive for my needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnrrwz Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 anyone has experience on Palm Swell GridLOK Aggressive Brass for competition? how about palm swell bogies vs Palm Swell GridLOK Aggressive Brass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT_Schultz Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I have bogies and the big nasty diamond checkered ones (roughnecks I think) for my 75BD. Get the bogies. Do not get the palm swells unless you wear a size XL glove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric_T Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I just received my Palm Swell Bogies yesterday, to replace the stock Shadow 2 grips. I have fairly large hands and wear 2XL gloves. The palm swell is great, I now have contact with my entire strong hand palm. Getting good weak hand contact is a challenge for me on every gun I've tried, but I'd say it's a little better with these grips since my strong hand fingers don't wrap around quite as far due to the increased width. My desk-jockey's hands definitely feel the bite from the texture, so I'll need to build up some callouses... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stafford Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Anyone run the thin Bogies? I actually like the thin grip on my Shadow 2 so I wouldn't go for the palm swell. How close in size are the thin bogies to the factory aluminum grips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkf74 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 LoK palm swell bogies here. I had to take sandpaper and lightly hit one spot at the top of the right grip. Other than that they have been perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
