The speaker expresses a strong preference for wood grips over rubber grips for firearms, particularly those with heavy recoil. They find rubber grips irritating to bare hands, causing chafing, while wood grips are perceived to absorb recoil energy better due to the porous nature of wood fibers. Wood grips are also favored for their aesthetic appeal and feel with heavier recoiling firearms.
