I personaly dont like them, the grooves are not where they should be for my hands. I dont see how they could help flinching. Concentrate on trigger pull and a lot of practice will help that.
All my working guns have Hogue rubber finger-groove grips. The choice to go with a grip like this is a highly personal and subjective thing. Depending on how you carry, the stickier rubber can catch on clothing during a draw. These grips also make it slightly harder to readjust your grip in mid-draw, if you happen to have a less-than-ideal grip on your gun.
That being said, they are still my choice. Spend a bit more time practicing your draw to get a feel for the stickier grips. Once you can get the draw perfected, once your hand locks-in on the grip, you'll have a very solid, non-slip hold on the gun.
These grips are still grippy, even if your hands are sweaty. They also decrease felt recoil - although very minimally.
You'll either love these grips or hate 'em. There's not much in between.
No grips cure flinching - sorry.

Thanks for the information. I have held a classic with the rubber grips and liked them, although I didn't have the opportunity to fire it.
As an aside, and this may be a basic question, but are they easy to install? I'm comfortable following the instructions to field-strip and can do that easily.
