Ordered and received a 'pair' of these from Midway, and if they aren't factory seconds, I don't know what is.

Believe it or not, the lower portion of the grip was very obviously formed by means of some type of grinder.

Being basic black, this is pretty hard to 'prove' with a picture, but I kid you not: Someone actually ground the surfaces of these grips in order to achieve the fingerless form.

Oh, did I say "grips"?

I am loathe to admit it, but I actually got two.

I suppose the 'good' news is, combined with their striking asymmetry (lol), the differences between these two grips strongly reinforce my thesis: These grips are 'recycled' seconds.

Beyond that, let's just call it 'Lesson Learned'...
