The groves on different models of Glocks are spaced differently so there is no way they are all going to line up with your fingers and “feel” good.
Is there a rule that I'm not aware of that permits only one specific spacing of grooves that are allowed to feel good to a person? I have noticed that I have the ability to spread my fingers apart to fit different groove spacings, doesn't make any difference in "feel" to me.
Just off-hand that I can think of, I have multiple Glocks with grooved grips, different brands of revolvers with different brands of grooved grips, a couple of 1911's with grooved grips, multiple AR-15's with different brands of grooved grips, a couple of Contenders with grooved grips, multiple knives with grooved grips, a couple of cars with grooved grips (steering wheel), some fishing rods with grooved grips on them, probably a bunch of other things I can't think of right now, and they all feel good to me. I've never compared the groove patterns on any of them, but I would be VERY surprised if any of them were the same.
If they didn't feel good I would change them.
Based on the vast number of different items sold with some sort of grooved grip, it would appear that groove spacing (like grip angle) is probably not as critical to the majority of people as it is to a few.
I can see where it would be beneficial to a large organization to specify "no grooves" rather than have to deal with the whining and excuses of some that the grooves hinder their marksmanship.
