1911 Front Strap Checkering
I am not a big believer in front strap checkering on my 1911's. I have played with grip tape, and have shot a friend's 1911 with the Wilson Combat checkered overlay, as well as shot 1911's with permanent checkering in various agressive textures. Don't like any of them. I have rough hands, calloused, the texture doesn't bother me physically. I feel that when I grab my 1911 from my holster in a draw stroke the front strap being checkered actually stops me from completing my finalized shooting grip, whereas a non checkered front strap allows my fingers to "continue the slide" around the gun. Don't get me wrong, if target shooting I am fine with checkering. But if I am going for speed and only need a few rounds in a SD situation, for me, non-checkered does not hinder my grip process, even when I scoop the gun. Opinions?
