That’s $20.00 well spent.

Nice, it went from looking like a tank to a Humvee!LOL
You’re an astute guy (or so I’ve gathered over a decade+ that we’ve shared this forum 
) so this isn’t necessarily directed at you but more to the general audience who might own a similar Ruger pistol.
There is trigger bar linkage that runs under the left side grip that is, in my experience, EXTREMELY sensitive to any non-OEM grip panel.
I installed some snazzy old Pachmayr grips on a mint condition Ruger P-90 that I had and Pachmayr was the undisputed king of aftermarket grips for a stretch of history, so no reason to expect that these would be janky or questionable but the P-90 refused to work with them.
I ended up trimming down the inside of the grip to get it away from that linkage but in my mind, I knew that it was a semi-flexible rubber panel and that only the original was going to put my mind at ease.
An aftermarket wood grip should be better — but I’d still be giving that a gorilla squeeze to ensure function before forgetting about it.

That looks like wood, and nothing a Dremel could not take care of regarding a trigger bar.
