Here's my theory about finger grooves...

Your grip is strongest when your fingers are tight together, especially your middle and ring fingers. If you have a grooved grip, your middle and ring fingers should go together into a single groove, with a ridge between ring and pinky.

Watch an aikido practitioner sometime, and observe which fingers he uses for wrist-twisting: middle two fingers together, and the thumb.

That said, I have a Hogue Handall slip-on on my P97, and it has grooves. I'd rather it didn't, and I only leave it there for traction. If it was one of the older style with solid bumps, I'd grind them off, but it's one of the newer ones. If I cut the bumps off, I'd be left with holes (and I've thought about doing that anyway).

I don't like the position of that safety selector.

It doesn't look like a Wilson. Looks more like a Hi-Point. Polymer is seldom pretty, but... dang! That thing has been whacked with the ugly stick!
