Yup, the coarse checkering and squarish edges make gripping an Interarms with these grips seem like holding on to a rough-cut 2" X 4". The pattern of the checkering was embossed into the skin in the web of my hand.

Jim Solomon, I, and others could round the edges and/or remove the coarse pattern and apply a finer one. Rather than mess with the original grips, I arranged for some case urethane ones and did both to them--much more comfy. Since they wind up like the eBay grips, and considering the time it took to make the changes, the $30 for those is well spent there.

Good shooting by all! All my Lugers probably shoot better than I can...
