...and once again I am the devil's advocate!
In 97 percent of the semi auto pistol videos on youtube I watch an disproportionate amount of time is spent talking about the texture, the undercut, the stippling. As if that will make you survive an actual gunfight. So I am talking about combat, self defense and law enforcement situations, not ultra precision target shooting.
You want to survive an actual combat / shootout situation you better know who to hold on to your, or maybe one of your (dead) opponents weapons, while hiding behind cover or moving about. Standing up straight with your arms stretched out is nothing! Paper target don't shoot back! Would you not take a shot because the trigger has some creep or the reset is not optimal?! Duh, of course you would so you got to train that way also. Now I understand not everybody has access to action pistol events or live in countries where it is illegal to shoot at paper targets resembling a human torso (this is not a joke).
In my rather large gun collection I have grips with ultra aggressive texture and others with flat, totally smooth aluminum panels. Actual difference while action shooing (no more combat for me): Zero. Never dropped or had a gun slip, even in 100 plus degree temp. with sweat pouring down my body. Now I am sure that there are a bunch of manly men out there who all think they know everything about guns because they have one (1). So bring it on...
