The rubber sleeve on the Attack 3 is not to provide resistance, just to keep junk out of the internals. There is still a spring centering system in there. I do agree that the Attack 3 is the better choice, simply because it's ambidextrous and has a very small footprint. You can still get them on Amazon for ~$20.
