I got a pair of these the other day and are really rough.  I was told you can sand them down to my liking.  What type of sand paper do I use ?  Which Grit ?

I don't know those grips but I like garnet paper for sanding.  As you use it, the garnet crumbles and the grit size gets progressively smaller and smaller (the paper gets smoother).  You might think it's wearing out (and it is) but it is also taking you to a finer finish without needing 16 (a slight exaggeration ) different grits in stock.

Straight from the package that came with my Gunner Grips:


If you find an uncomfortable spot or area where the grip is too harsh for your hands, simply sand the area with 220 grit or finer sandpaper to your personal comfort and apply oil to restore the finish and color.


It also states to, "use WD40 or similar oil to restore the color."
