Question Snake Skin or Chain Link?

I need your opinon.............

What do you think about Snake Skin treatment on a front strap with a slide that has a regular straight rear cocking serrations?




Do you think Chain Link looks better?



Thank you for your comments.

Greg

Thanks .

I'm leaning toward the Chain Link too.

I got a quote back from Dave today while I was at the Greensboro Gun Show. Can you believe there wasn't a single Dan Wesson in the hole place.

It's going to be a while before I received it. He's backlogged till late summer.

That will give you more time to figure out what other Mods. to your 1911. Did you ask Dave if he can get you a DW?????? Knowing you the way I do probably not..............

I did. He will supply the NIB DW RZ-45 Heritage.

Good price too. I would recommend all members to check him out.

I guess I'm a purist - I like regular old checkering on the front strap and the MSH. I like the grip I get from checkering - chain link/golf ball/snake skin don't have the same feel.

Just my opinion... you get what you pay for

Thanks Lane. I value your opinion.

I too like a simple 25 LPI checkering. But this one is going to be my first DW so I want something a little special.

You are once again incorrect.

I'm only 20 minutes late but a dollar short.
