I have had a good two weeks to use the CZ branded rubber grips on my steel compact. I like them. Here in Fl. the humidity really demands a good grip and I would rather buy another CZ than to pay for the front and backstrap stippling. Anyway, the CZ grips were reasonably priced and are in the exact shape as the original plastic. I bought another two screws just in case but didn't need them this time. This satin nickle finish is just beautiful. Sorta has a little gold sheen to it. My poor G23 just sits alone in the safe and hasn't had much attention since the the sexy Czech has arrived.
