We’ve encountered cases where customers requested short grips for their CZ Compact models (CZ P-01, CZ 75 Compact, or CZ Shadow 2 Compact), even though they weren’t using a magwell. Their reasoning was likely: “compact model = short grip.”
For models like the CZ P-01 and CZ 75 Compact, we offer both
long and
short grips—again, depending on whether or not you intend to use a magwell.
We carry both OEM CZ grips and high-quality aftermarket grips from top firearm accessories brands such as Toni System (Italy), Eemann Tech, and LOK Grips (USA).
By material
Grips vary not only in weight but also in durability. Here’s a breakdown of the most common materials and their key properties:
Aluminum
Pros: Lightweight, available in many shapes, colors, and finishes
Cons: More prone to scratching, less recoil absorption
Recommended Use: Sport shooting (if you prefer a lighter setup), self-defense, EDC
Polymer
Pros: Lightweight, crack and corrosion resistant, affordable and low maintenance
Cons: Less premium appearance
Recommended Use: Self-defense, EDC, ideal for beginners
Brass
Pros: Rigid and highly durable, distributes firearm weight effectively, enhances grip stability, excellent shooting feedback, visually attractive
Cons: Heavier and more expensive
Recommended Use: Sport shooting, when the shooter needs enhanced control and grip precision
By firearm model
The specific grip compatibility depends on your CZ model. Here's what we offer:
Long Grips Available For:
Short Grips Available For:
By size
Standard grips are designed to fit an average-sized hand. However, some shooters may benefit from a more tailored grip thickness:
Smaller hands / Concealed carry: Consider thin-profile grips, which also reduce the overall dimensions of the pistol—ideal for concealed carry.
Some brands offer all three grip sizes—thin, standard, and thick—allowing you to choose the perfect fit for your shooting style and hand size. For example,
Armanov grips come in various widths to ensure a truly ergonomic experience.
Can I replace the grips myself?
Yes, you can easily swap out your grips at home using a small screwdriver or allen key.
