Good 1911 carry grips?

My Warrior has Gunner Grips on it right now and, while they provide an awesome hold, they are cheese grating my side with my IWB holster. I know VZ and Aluma-Grips are the big names, but by looking at the sights I can't get a good idea of the feel of each grip. Does anyone know which ones are a good combo of tacky and comfortable? My love handles thank you!

Seriously!?!? Nobody has any grip they really like for carry!?!?! Come on people, I have a birthday coming up!

i still have the stock grips on mine; i just painted them to a color i liked. Wilson Combat makes some really cool ones, though; i might pick up a set of them.

I really dig the hogue aluminum grips that are not checkered. I do not carry an auto loader, but my Sig P229 has a set of the natural aluminum smooth grips and they rock. They can feel a little cold, but not for long when in the hand.

I have alumagrips on my carry gun. They grip well and are STRONG, but they are also COLD.

I'd pick Carbon Creations if I did it again. I had those on a 5" gun and they were just about perfect.

I put a set of Hogue uncheckered Kingwood grips on my Taurus Pt1911, they are very beautiful though expensive , $100 plus shipping, but that Kingwood is awesome.
