HI Guys,

I need some clarification to this rule:
I recently purchased the Hogue Wraparound Rubber Grips with Finger Grooves CZ 75,for my Shadow, is it legal in IPSC production according to the rule below to use?

17.3 Aftermarket grip panels which match the profile and contours of the OFM standard or optional grip
panels for the approved handgun and/or the application of tape on grips (see Appendix E3) are permitted.
However, rubber sleeves are prohibited.

Why is the question?

6. Can I apply skateboard or grip tape to the factory grips, or change the grips, of my Production Division Pistol?

Yes. See Point 17.3 of Appendix E3 in the January 2012 Edition of the IPSC Handgun rulebook.

17.3 Aftermarket grip panels which match the profile and contours of the OFM standard or optional grip
panels for the approved handgun and/or the application of tape on grips (see Appendix E3) are permitted.

If I remember right, they used to be a factory option for the CZ 75.

Indeed. Those are available from the factory store.

So, he got lucky this time, though I find those grips rather useless...

I am going to disagree for two reasons. the first being is that it does not match the profile of the supplied grip and the second being that the Hogue grip is a special order not a standard grip see http://www.czub.cz/en/catalog/87-accessories/AC-ST/0421-0430-45.aspx

Ii is offered by CZ for the 75/85 series and special order has nothing to do with it IMO.
This seems to be debatable and serveral different opinions I have read so far!
Reading the rules and seeing that CZ offers the grip my understanding is that it would be allowed.

BUT I see the point concerning profile...
 
From the rule book -- "Aftermarket - Items not manufactured by the OFM, and/or bearing identifying marks of a different OFM." The grips being discussed here bear the Hogue brand logo.

By definition, Hogue brand grips are aftermarket parts for anything other than a Hogue firearm (if such a thing were to exist). Purchasing aftermarket parts from CZ does not magically turn them into CZ OFM parts.

Since CZ does not manufacture grips with the profile and finger grooves of the Hogue grips in question, those Hogue grips cannot "match the profile and contours of [any] OFM standard or optional grip panels" and would therefore not be permitted in Production Division.

Ok thanks for the clarification, $29 bucks down the drain but my Aluminum CZ grips are back on :)
 
if CZ equips them on guns they send out, then they are Production legal. But your best bet is to ask Vince over GV.
