bought a CS9 a few weeks ago. I didn't like the fatness of the grip but i liked the feel of the rubber it had. My gun came with 2 new sets of "Big Dog Grips" also. Much thinner but hard plastic and slippery. Put Talon rubber grips on one set. I had to cut them myself as Talon didn't have them to fit the cs9. Turned out really nice, grippy and much slimmer. On the other set i put one coating of Boot Guard. Saw that on the forum awhile back and i had used it on the toes of my work boots previously. That worked out really well. "grippiest" grips i've ever felt. They are the ones staying on my cs9. I pocket carry it so it made for a better purchase getting it out of my cargo pants. Love the gun! it exudes quality! I'd post pics but i'm a lot of things and unfortunately tech wizard is not one of them.
