Grips

From the factory, CZ pistols come with medium-thickness grips designed to suit a wide range of hands. Many owners replace them for better control, purpose-built performance, or a new look.

Why replace grips?

1. Improved grip control

Grip thickness affects how firmly you can hold the pistol, which directly impacts recoil control. Shooters with smaller hands often choose thinner grips; those with larger hands may prefer thicker grips.

2. Different material for your use

If you carry daily (EDC) or use your pistol for defense, a lightweight grip (polymer or aluminum) is practical. For sport shooting, a heavier brass grip increases stability and gives clearer shooting feedback. See materials below.

3. Aesthetics

Grips are an easy way to personalize your CZ. Choose from multiple colors, textures, and finishes.

Long vs. short grips

This depends on whether you use a magwell. A magwell flares the magazine well for faster reloads (popular in IPSC/USPSA).

• No magwell → choose long grips.
• Have/plan a magwell → choose short grips.

NOTE: “Compact” ≠ “short”

Compact models (CZ P-01, CZ 75 Compact, CZ Shadow 2 Compact) don’t automatically require short grips. Choose long or short based on magwell use:

• P-01 / 75 Compact long grips
• P-01 / 75 Compact short grips
• Shadow 2 Compact & Carry long grips
• Shadow 2 Compact & Carry short grips

Can I replace the grips myself?

Yes. Swapping grips is simple with a small screwdriver or Allen key.
