Are wrap around rubber grips legal in IPSC Production?

[Canuck44]

Going to shoot my CZ 85 in Production next week. My question is are the rubber wrap around grips by Haug (sp) legal for production?

Check Annex D4, rule 20.3 of the rule book.

20.3 Aftermarket grips which match the profile of the OFM standard for the approved handgun and/or the
application of tape on grips is permitted, however, rubber sleeves are prohibited.

Yes I read that but do the grips constitute compliance. They have finger grooves which are not the same as factory grips.

If your gun does not come with grips that have finger groves then the answer is no. I had the same ones and now I shoot in standard class.

If your bent on staying production then think about using the skate tape on the OEM grips.

is it the slip on sleeve? if not then you shouldn't have any problems. The best place to ask is on the IPSC World forum though.

Straight answer - No - Hogue wrap arounds on a CZ-85 are not legal in production.

If you want the International answer, yes - but they are ignorant to Canada's legal, Canadian vendor importation requirements, and exemption issues.
email NROI Canada for better answers.

I have the answers I need. No big deal really I'll just put the factory ones back on.

Thanks for the replies. Sean I would shoot the Tanfoglio but I am still waiting for my Blade Tech Holster. They sent the wrong one and I had to send the one they shipped, back. My el cheapo Uncle Mikes doesn't cover the trigger guard on the Tan.
