I got a new Shield and thought I'd get some grips. I usually get the rubberized. So I ordered some ,I thought. I guess I screwed up and ordered the Sandpaper grips by mistake. I thought well maybe as long as I have them I'll give them a try. Frankly I love them. Your hands could be soaking wet and your grip is still tight. But the one draw back I found is when you CC under a shirt with no undershirt beneath . Ouch very rough on your skin when you walk or bend. So I took a sock and cut a piece of the elastic tube off slipped over the grip and problem solved.
