Yeah, like I said, it's purely personal preference. I would've gone a bit different direction with a build like that, but again, that's my preference.

Area where the middle finger goes is indented (quite noticeable by feel) and the well sanded corners near the trigger also add to the ergonomics. Parts near the backstrap have also been sanded to adapt your thumb a little better. Also, if you're wondering why the grip is a charcoal colour, its because I sprayed 4 coats of clear coat to protect it from natural elements... I overdid that part slightly.

Edit: These grips were really tough to work on so they're far from spotless. They were in terrible shape from a half-assed stippling job and I had to sand almost ever inch of it down. The edges were almost impossible to get without sanding too much of it away.
That's a wicked job! Good work!
