30lpi. Anything less is too rough.

I prefer 25LPI. Work with my hands so thats probably why. I can barely feel 30 and 20's like holding on to a cheese grater. Wierd how 5 little lines makes the difference but hey its all subjective/relative anyway.

I like 25 best, then 20.

25-30 both work fine. 20 seems too sharp for me. I am not a wuss by any stretch, but I don't see the point in impaling my callusses to get a better grip if the finer bumps do the job just fine.

I picked 30, but actually prefer the feel of stippling. Checkering looks better though.

20 LPI, or Golf Balls.

25 LPI for shooting, 30 for admiring, and serrations for carry.

I personally don't care for checkering so I didn't vote. I like vertical serrations and have them on all my 1911s and I also like the scallop/scale treatment that Chuck Rogers offers. But if I had to go with checkering then I'd go with 25LPI..

I've always done 20lpi, here's a pic of one I did.
I Did My Kimber Compact in 25lpi, it's getting refinished, so I don't have a pics, but I like the 25 too.
