Nope not at all. The rubberized grips feel more like the factory texturing on most pistols but the way they are textured it makes the gun a whole lot grippier. I can run my shirt over my gun just fine without it snagging or anything, but as soon as I put my hand on it, it is solid. It's hard to explain without actually trying it for yourself.
They also have a sandpaper like grip which will mess your shirts up, but for guns that are solely used on the range in an OWB holster, that would provide the best grip.
They're pretty cheap too.

I've not had to replace them yet and I've had them on for a few years now. Still grippy as ever :)
I bought it off Amazon back in Dec '15 and it seems that it's off the website for now. I paid $82 and change with prime shipping at the time.
Midway USA has it for $88
Also as I mentioned before, check out Talon Grips for ~$18
I compared the Shield with the XDs and went with the Shield.
Shield is very thin.
I felt the Shield was much smoother to shoot. XDs had a "snap" to it that the Shield doesn't.
Since I've had the Sheild I have put the rubber Talon grips. What an improvement, and as far as I know, you can't put one on the XDs. However, the XDs does have a "grippier" grip over the Shield. But the Shield with the Talon grips is better than the standard XDs grips.
I also put the pinky extension on the 7 round mag I carry, and the +2 Hyve Mag extension on my 8 round mag.
I like the stock trigger and see no reason to modify it. It's safe and effective.
Next accessory will be Tricon sights.
With all of this, the Shield is hands down the best compact I have shot. Like everybody says, shoot a couple different pistols, and find the one that works best for you.
