Joel argues that excessive texture can hinder trigger finger movement and that smooth areas can be beneficial for hand positioning during a holster draw. He emphasizes identifying key grip contact points, using personal wear patterns as an indicator, and advocates for a balance that provides firm grip without discomfort, critiquing overly aggressive textures on models like the CZ Shadow 2 and Atlas pistols.
