These grips are amazing in the wet or when your hands get sweaty in summer, your hands will simply not move their position. Your hands will not feel rough or abraded after shooting, however I will say grip consistency can be an issue. If you don't get your grip correct right up front, it's very difficult for IPSC shooters to move hand positions on the move. I have right dominant side with an aluminum hand grip, and my left side with the carbide grip which is an excellent compromise.
