Does the grip on these wear down fast?

I guess it's possible, tho unlikely for the average shooter.

If it did, give you an opportunity to get a nice stipple job.

Yes.   I shot an RTF2 17 for a season or so in 2011 iirc, and it smoothed out quite a bit.  It was still better than a brand new Gen3 though.  

I shot an RTF2 17 that had had all the texture sanded off and was sanded smooth with something like 150 or 200 grit and was actually crazy grippy when your hands were wet.

Actually the tips breaking off the peaks of the RTF frames texture is a known problem.

They will be making the RTF2 annually? Where did you hear that?


That's great news if so.

Vickers said new ones will be out this summer, and hinted towards a Gen 4. I'm just going to put some rubber Talons on my grey Vickers 17 when I bring her home.

I see it was already answered, but here's some additional substantiating info.  First I've heard of it too, but I'm excited.
