sprout Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 The rulebook says that : "Grips may be changed to another style or material that is similar to factory configuration (no weighted grips; see 'weighted grips' in glossary for further details)." It then goes on to define "weighted grips" as "Any set of grips that weigh more than two (2) oz. over factory standard weight for the model." I don't believe the CZ aluminum grips weigh 2 oz more than the factory rubber grips (I think they weigh less), so the question is: are the CZ grips a "style or material" that is "similar" to the factory grips. Because it says "style or material" instead of "style and material", I assume that if either style or material is similar, the grips are OK. Now, it doesn't seem like the material is similar, but is the "style"? I've got small hands, and I really like the thinner grips, but I don't want to practice with something that isn't legal. Does anyone know if there is a ruling on what "style" and "similar" mean? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve J Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Aluminum grips are fine. Lighter and thinner - no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprout Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 Aluminum grips are fine. Lighter and thinner - no problem. Thanks. You don't think the thin profile and lack of any palm swells makes it dissimilar in style? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprout Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Just to bring closure. I called IDPA HQ, and the very nice woman who answered the phone asked my question to Robert Ray. He said that, as long as the grips don't add weight, they are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
