Are your new Gunfighter Grips going to be offered in rubberized polymer or just the regular textured polymer?  Either way, they look to be first class and a nice change.

I cannot speak for BCM, but based on what I've seen with the Hogue and Magpul overmolded grips, they don't hold up as well as the solid polymer.  That's not to say that they're junk, just that there's a difference in durability when you are talking about hard use.  Given BCM's target market, I doubt they would make that jump.

Good to know.  I am not a "hard user" and have not seen the rubber coated wear yet.  I can see that it could be a problem holding up in harsh environments or combat use.  I just like the feel of the rubber coated or solid rubber grips for my occasional use.  I also like the clean look, grip angle, and storage compartment of the BCM grip
