Just wondering what the pachmayr compac grips texture is like. Is it a softer or harder rubber? The factory rubber sp101 rubber grip likes to grab clothing. I was wondering if the pachmayrs do too. Thanks.
They are harder than Houge grips. They are slicker than factory SP grips. Clothing slides off off them fairly well.
The Diamond Pro Series, are a bit softer and stickier (tackier?) than the standard Presentation/Gripper style grips.
I'm a fan of Pachmayr grips as well, particularly the Presentation grips for revolvers and Signature grips for semi-autos.
I have found that Pachmayrs for both revolvers and semi-autos to be relatively harder and less sticky than most similar type grips. That seem to also hold up very well over time; I have some that are getting close to being 30 years old (the ones on my Combat Commander are nearly 40!), and are still in great shape!

Pretty darn good longevity!
I bought a NOS Gripper off ebay for my GP100 and it's definitely much harder than the Diamond Pro. It fits the gun fairly well, but doesn't fit my hand. If you are trying for a high grip on the gun a Hogue is better. I'll try anything for $19 shipped, heh.I have the diamond pro for my gp100. They're amazingly comfy. But way to tacky of a rubber and the top right flops to easy and let's the hammer pin shift. I ordered a set of pachmayr grippers for the gp100 and a set of compacs for the sp101. Bringing my total to 4 grips for the sp101 and 6 for the gp100..
Definitely true of the classic Pachmayrs. But some of the new versions introduced since the Lyman buyout are tacky, like the Diamond Pro grip for the GP100.I have found that Pachmayrs for both revolvers and semi-autos to be relatively harder and less sticky than most similar type grips.

Yep that's what I paid,should be here this week. Worth a try. I still have mixed feeling on high grip. I know it allows better control. But doesn't seem as comfortable to me . I don't shoot competition. Just occasional target and hunting.

Do the gripper and the diamond pro have a similar shape /feel in the hand? Excluding the actual rubbers texture
