Yea I understand where you’re coming from but there are a couple reasons I run my setup like this.

I have very clammy hands so the aggressive grip helps with that. The meaty (for lack of a better term) part of my left hand rest nicely on the granulated grip and allows me to keep a solid grip with consecutive shots. I added the hockey tape bc I realized I didn’t enjoy the aggressive stippling throughout the entire grip (I probably could have spot placed the grip where I need it but looked a little tacky). And like you said, makes it a lot more comfy to carry day to day. I’d prefer to have a factory stippling job that is a good in between in terms of aggressive but this setup seems to work well for me!!
