1. I own a gun with rubber grips. They get less slick and feel way better in your hands than a standard grip.
2. Rubber is not not hard to clean, especially if it's a darker color. White grips is debatable but it really is not hard to clean off rubber grips, like at all.
3. dot.
4. This is the only thing we don't really know, how exactly that rubber is going to come off. HOPEFULLY there is some easy way to remove it, which would also make the cleaning processes slightly easier.
Sincerely early 05er

your right bro. Plus it makes it look cheap. I said it may look like a 800 gun. After looking again i think 500. Its a ugly luxe

As I agree with your first comment, I have had grips before (rubber) that I have worn down to the point of them being "sticky" like gluey. Not to the point where they are comfortable, and I would hate to have that happen to a gun like this or the EGO LV1, and the grips are hard to replace.

I can see them being worn down because they are, rubber. And hopefully they aren't hard to replace. I just don't get the cleaning thing, it's just like shoe rubber, use a solvent, shoe cleaner, et cetera and boom lookin fresh.

You need to take yourself elsewhere.
Anyways you'd probably need to replace the halves of the foregrip to change the rubber.

Pink paint tends to stain, and I don't see the color inside the grips (red, ect...) staying red very long

I do agree on the plastic and rubber parts. The NT and jewels were meant for one day of use before they either fell off or wouldn't fit anymore.
Let the aftermarket make the rubber bits for add ons.

the luxe looks better. DLX has not really done much on the engineering side of the luxe sense the 1.0 though. I have seen the Vanquish Core and Empire did change a couple things that will make it better. How much better? Not sure.
I cant get over the looks though and I hate the ASA. My 1.5 that I just sold was great.. Dont see why id shoot one of these over the luxes I have had.
I bet its cocker threaded though.. thats a big plus
