Deal on Canik S-120

[TomJ]

I've been wanting a CZ 75 with a stainless finish. I'd just bought a couple of guns and could not justify spending around $700 for another range toy when I stumbled on a deal on a chrome S-120 on Bud's though Slick guns. Bud's price was $449, but per Slickguns they'd take $335 through their Make an Offer option. I tried it, and sure enough it went through. At that price the kid in me couldn't pass it up.

I want to put wood grips on it, and am wondering if grips for the CZ will work.

I assume you know that the S120's "chrome" finish is really just chrome colored Ceracote.

I'm not concerned about that. I'm buying it as a range toy as I like the ergonomics and shoot CZ's well. I don't however, care for the plastic grips and will replace them with either Hogue rubber grips, or if I can find an inexpensive wood pair will consider those.

I've read that CZ grips will fit. I know CZ mags work because I've used them in my C100 and L120.

I put a set of CZ75 compact rubber grips on my C100. Fit like a glove and greatly improved the grippiness (? Is that a word?) of the gun.

The hard plastic grips that came on the gun were so slick I decided not to even fire the gun until I got some decent grip panels.

Almost a perfect fit

I put a pair of VZ grips on my S120. I had to ream the holes towards the trigger just a hair. Visually it looked like the holes lined up, but the threads wouldn't starts. A touch with the appropriate Dremmel bit and the screws went right in. I have ~1,600 rounds through mine and the grips are still perfectly tight.

Congrats on the new range toy. I think the S120 is the best deal there is on a new hand gun right now.

Close call between the SD9VE, the Tristar guns, and the Ruger 9E in my opinion.

Throw in the Sarsilmaz line as well... Seems the CZ clones are the majority!!! Now.... To get my hands on one of those chrome pieces from Bud's...
