Hey guys, I've pretty much decided on getting a set of VZ Grips for my 1911, but I'm wondering for those of you own them:
The Thumb Scoop is supposed to aid in accessing the magazine release easier. I can see how that would help - but I also don't really care about that because my 1911 is more of a range gun. What I'm curious to know is, do you find that having the scoop for your thumb provides a better grip? When I see it I'm reminded of the little scoop that is on Gen 4 Glocks, and to a lesser extent my LCP, and it definitely feels more comfortable gripping those guns because of the thumb scoop. But does it really carry over well? I've got only-slightly-larger-than-average hands, and an arched MSH on my 1911.
(FWIW: I've got it narrowed down to two. If I get the thumb scoop, I will be getting the Aztecs; if I don't get the thumb scoop, I'll be getting the ETCs)
