Is the colored part some kind of rubbery stuff, like to get a better grip, or is it just colored metal?

The whole thing is made of metal, the colored part is just paint on the metal.

I think it's either plastic or metal, but I don't have any trouble with the grip.

It has an almost matte finish feel on the top and bottom (black portion) but the rest is slippery-ish plastic. I have not had issues with it slipping around in my hand too badly and I have dropped it once and it did very well to protect the corners. It is not rubbery feeling.

My guess is that it's plastic. Yes, there is a silicone ring on the bottom to give it grip. I've been very happy with this product.

Some parts are plastic, some are metal. I would say if you thought about it you could guess what's plastic and what's metal. Hint: the rubber is not metal; not silver, not gold, not iron, not steel, not even copper, or brass, but what about tin? No not that either.

They're hard polymer, but probably the best grips I've used on my Springfield loaded model 1911. I plan on buying another set for my Colt soon. If you order directly from Magpul, you can get different colors. When I bought this first set, black was the only color available.

So, the handle is either "solid stainless steel," "metal and rubber-like plastic on one side," "metal insert on one side . . . but plastic on the other three," "metal with a rubber coating for grip," "metal," or "plastic, and very weak." Thanks, folks!

It's just like a flat, gun metal type finish. Not grippy, but won't slip out of your hand.

It is hard plastic on back and rubbery on sides or bumper for grip friction. I have a bad hand and this is a good case for holding.

There is a coating that gives the case some grip, but I don't believe it is actually rubber. According to Spigen this case is completely polycarbinite. They don't use rubber, because rubber will absorb the oil from your hands and fingers, and cause the case to crack and the coating to flak.

Yeah it has a kind of textured rubber grip. It has a pretty good feel to it too.

I haven't had a problem with the grip. It's made of rubber and plastic, and the rubber is surprisingly not grippy, but it doesn't seem to slide around much. I like the feel of the rubber though

I have had the grip tape on for the last 6 months on a Glock 22. It has held up better than the skateboard tape I had on before. The material is rubber-ish, not an imbeded particulate matter. But I dont use solvent to clean the composite material.

Not grips as such, but the metal is enclosed with a plastic or rubber tubing that protects the surface from scratching.

The one I got was black. You'll probably want to put grips or grip tape on the parts you will be holding so you can use whatever colors you want for that.

Yes the entire grip area is made of rubber. it takes a little breaking in but it's the best grip I've had in the gym

The grips are plastic. There is probably something internal that is plastic, but all of the "showy parts" are metal. It has a nice feel and heft to it. It really does appear very authentic.Mine fires well, and is reasonably accurate. Note... it is not a "blowback" type air pistol, but otherwise, is a good inexpensive way to practice your skills with a 1911 style pistol.I enjoy shooting mine a lot.

It's lightly coated and doesn't feel slippery at all. It grips fairly well. Only thing I've noticed is that after a few weeks of moderate use, the moisture from my hand has started to fade the design colors a little. Mouse is a beast though.
