I don’t know about “stickier” but the texture on the G10 scales can be had anywhere from smooth to pretty aggressive.

But the man is asking specifically Hogue checkered G10 vs checkered aluminum.

So he is. Reading fail on my part.
I've never owned a set of the aluminum grips, but I had a set of the checkered G10's on my P220 that were pretty aggressive. I'm now curious about the answer to that question as well, as to which is stickier or has more bite to it.

G10 all the way for me. Alum gets cold and scratches easily. G10 is also workable. If the edges are sharp or the texture to rough all you do is sand and then re-oil and you then go on like nothing ever happened.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Mustang-PaPa,

The answer is in the 1st reply post. That is based on personal experience. The only differences, as others have mentioned, are the hot/cold and scratched easy issues with the aluminum grips.

^^^ Yep. I have G10 checkered on all my Sig classic pistols. All of the benefits of aluminum, without the drawbacks.

I have both but I find the G-10's much more practical. The aluminum grips look great but they do scratch and I once made the mistake of picking up my 226 with black aluminum grips that I had left on a shooting bench in the sun. Yikes.
