Ruger SR9/SR40 vs. Glock17/22 ?

[fightingquaker13]

Indeed. For military duty, where sweat and slime is the norm? It makes sense. But for normal carry, just enough to compensate for sweaty palms would be adequate. Moreover it would be more "mission oriented" than the tacitcool stuff. Everyone wants what the SEALS have. News flash to buyers and the industry: We ain't SEALS. We want something comfortable to carry and quick to draw and accurate to fire, even with an imperfect grip. The stipling and finger grooves don't help with that.

.....I'm not understanding the need for all of these sandpaper like abrasive textures we're now seeing on handguns?....

At least some of it comes in from the competition side of shooting.  The sandpaper grips help in competition, especially in the hot summer.  Also, some of the plastic grips get a little slippery when wet with sweat despite faus checkering or other designs to improve grip.

The adjustable backs on the new Gen 4 Glocks is a plus. The grip is more comfortable than the RFT. Took a week for my side to heal up after carrying it concealed the day I bought it. Needless to say I sold that Glock 22RFT.

The Rugers are nice and would not mind owning one myself. But I also do not like to deal with manual safeties. The Smith and Wesson M&P series are a nice combination. I purchased the M&P9c for my wife cause she limp wristed the Glock. She loves it but prefers to carry the Ruger LCP.

I have the Ruger SR9C and love it,about 300 trouble free rounds downrange so far and accurate.I love the slimness too,its my main carry piece now.
