SJBriggs Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 They are an Australian company, but ship international. Has anyone here tried them for their Shadow 2? https://www.bosscomponents.com.au/collections/cz-shadow-2/products/cz-shadow-2-palm-swell-grips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlausN Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Didn’t know they exist. I made my own, fairly easy and cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rovpilot337 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Didn't know they existed either but it definitely has my attention. Id love to have that on my Tac Sport! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardmix Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 I have a new S2 CO coming in shortly. These grips look really good. I wonder how they compare the Loks I have on my SP01. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGT_Schultz Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Not sure why one would order these when the DIY alternative works just as well for probably a 1/4 of the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's assuming that you already have a set of grips that you would like to apply the carbide to. Would it even adhere to the aluminum grips?

So what you're saying is, I can't just pour sand on my grips and expect it to stick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KlausN Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) If you mix the sand with fairy dust it will stick perfectly. In case Amazon is out of fairy dust, epoxy works fine and you can select the silicon carbide ‘grid’ to your preference. For the price, if you don’t have grips, it seems like a good option but most of us will have some ‘take off’ grips which can be used. I used plastic and aluminum and both worked fine. Additionally epoxy putty can be used to match the grip to your hand size and shape before using the magic dust. 60 grid is good for competition but not so good for dry fire. 100-120 seems good for dry fire.

SJBriggs Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Yes, my question referred to whether or not the epoxy (or fairy dust) would do an adequate job of adhering to aluminum grip panels. As a new CZ owner, I do not happen to have an extra set of grips. I don't want to screw up the nice factory grips, so I may just hold out for a cheap set of used grips to experiment on. If not, the Boss grips aren't that expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started with 60/90 grit and did not find it sufficiently grippy for competition or extended dry fire. I ended up grinding it off (what a pain that was, I almost wore down a diamond tile bit) and most of the underlying epoxy and re-did it with 36 grit, which I find perfect for competition. 60/90 is as rough as I would go for concealed carry, though right now I get by with some really aggressive DIY stippling Edited January 22, 2021 by SGT_Schultz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJBriggs Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 Just to follow up, I got my Boss palm swell grips. They are similar in feel to the Lok palm swells, with the addition of the carbide. Very nice grips, and shipping to ConUS was actually pretty fast. Recommended.

sparky7 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Anyone tried their new G10 grips? Look like a good option for $65USD https://www.bosscomponents.com.au/products/cz-shadow-2-grips-g10-boss-components Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goshimu Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) I have friends with palm swell and thin BC carbide grips. Both are great I think the palm swell are perfect for the spo1, I am a palm swell fan. I have experience with both model shadows and grips on the CZ’s. PM if need more info. The G10’s have only just came out haven’t tried them yet however. BC is a shooter at my club, top guy very supportive of ipsc.
