slim grips for a cz-75B?

I have seen some deeply checkered factory grips that come with a CZ Kadet. They look like they should fit on a 75B. While the originals feel good they are slick with sweaty hands. I tried some pachmyer replacements but the sucky things not only didn't fit to the frame well, they also interfered with the magazine insertion and replacement. I've seen that Hogue has some for sale but I don't want the front strap if I can avoid it. Anyone have any ideas or experience with this?

Unfortunately, CZ advertising sucks! The web page is pathetic and has been for over a year. They even have misspellings in this months American Rifleman add. Great guns! Pi*s poor, Ooops, I mean to say, the web site is of no help. CZ, if you're listening my nine year old neice could help you develop a better web application. How long is your accessories page going to be under construction? -ddt
 
The site is useless. You get more info from 6year old mags. Look under new and you don't see the PCR. Great guns, sorry technical info on their site. EAA has more insightful features, well except for some of those ugly girls.
 
I have a CZ75B in 40 cal. and it came with grips that look like the grips on the CZ85(which I really didn't like the feel of)they gave it a flat feeling grip so I put Hogue grips on it and like them much better.It was a struggle at first to put them on,but I finaly got them to fit.I suspect with a little work you can get your Pachmyer's to fit,but it still has the front strap with finger grooves.I like this but realize that some don't.I know the slide on the 40's are beefed up but it may have the same frame as the 9mm.You can get a 22 conversion kit for the 9mm that mates a different slide to the 9mm frame so i assume the Kadet grips would fit but I'm not sure.Hope this helps.
 
Do you currently have the smooth, thumbrestish grip panels?

I bought a set of older style, checkered, grip panels for my CZ-75 a few months back. I think it was around $15 or so for the set. You need to speak with Mike, the CZ-USA smith, to get any useful information.
 
I just picked up CZ-75B to tune up for a trip where the clients use the CZ. Very nice weapon and it fits the hand great. The trigger is a little rough. Anyone know of a good CZ Trigger man? (a gunsmith, I mean :))

Gabe,

You wouldn't perchance be heading down south would you?

You might try www.cz-usa.com and ask for Mike as one poster said above. I think you can probably get a very good price and a quick turn around from them. As importantly Mike is an expert CZ man.

So many pistols, so little money.
 
Have you tried the wood grips? They are very similiar to the plastic grips but have better checkering. They're made from turkish walnut, so they're not cheap. My dealer sells them for $50. I'm sure you can find them for less.
 
Hogue makes an excellent rubber grip with finger rests that is quite a bit thinner on the gun than the factory plastic grips.
 
Thanks for the replies all. Yes the grips are the thumbrestish type. I love pachmyer grips on revolvers and I am handy enough with firearms repairs and the cz-75 pachmyers I have are a POS. I'm sure that if I got em to fit the frame any better I would need a claw hammer to change the magazine. I will check out the other sources you all have mentioned.

Has anyone cut the finger grooves off of the hogue grips? how did it affect the grip? The walnut sounds nice but this is a working gun so plastic/rubber is better for me. I love wood, don't get me wrong I'm the type to buy wood grips and keep em wrapped up in a drawer. thanks all. -ddt
