    That handgun looks like a rare 1911 Commander made by Ruger manufactured in Southport, CT. Those things are not cheap.

            I’ve fired one.

            It’s not uncomfortable, but in no way would I describe it as “comfortable” for my size hand.

            And if you have texture issues like my wife, the diamond pattern is like coarse sandpaper grating against you.

            I prefer ergonomic grips with properly sized/spaced finger indentation, myself.

              I have similiar grips on my 1911, aftermarket wood grips from some guy in Czech Republic. They feel better than the stock grips, but yah, not great.

              Now the stock grips on my CZ Shadow… chef’s kiss.

                The grips on mine are fiberglass reinforced epoxy resin and while I do wish they were a nice ironwood or like mesquite, they’re comfortable. Ebay special.

                I’ve held a few CZ firearms, and they all feel like they were made with ergonomics in mind. The again, they’ve got the price tag to show it…
