Different strokes for different folks.

I ordered my Baer with 20 LPI FSC, it's gonna be aggressive as all get out!

It doesn't make much difference to me. I use pretty aggressive VZ grips on my carry guns. The most of mine have checkered or chain link FS and MSH. I would think that with callused hands you would want more aggressive, to give more feel. Seems it would help secure the grip better on the slicker callused hands.

I use vz operator 2 grips on most of my 1911s and i skateboard tape all my front straps. I got midget fingers and i like to get a grip on my guns.

I also have skateboard tape on several of mine and I actually think I prefer the feel over my guns with checkered front straps.

Nah, makes no difference on the feel. Actually, I am more in tune with my thumb riding the thumb safety, and I can be a pisspot about thumb safeties. Been known to file for hours with files that are nearly smooth, to feel the safety just right. In my last vid I stop shooting after 5 or 6 rounds, adjust my thumb, and finish. That safety has been adjusted since the vid was made. My concern is, while drawing from holster, getting a grip too early, fingers not around the grip. I practice Quick Kill shooting, Half Hip.....alot, normally to forty feet...Self Defense shooting. I have never practiced with a gun that has an aggressive front strap texture, gonna give it a whirl next trip to SC.

I have some skateboard tape...well, my kids do....gonna play with that this weekend.

I'm sure you will do a vid, ahem. I'm interested to find out what the results are of your tests. Please let know what you find out.

Of course I will do a vid!!! I am thinking about this treatment for my latest 1911.

Thats cool..... Do you have a guy that does that kind of work?

Don't have anyone......there is a guy out near Vegas who uses CNC machines to do engraving, I need to dig his name outta mothballs. I have seen floral patterns, names, favorite dogs.....nothing overdone, very tasteful, yet helps with gripping the front strap. I have no concern with my hand coming off the gun, that is not gonna happen. I am concerned with my hand getting to my shooting grip smoothly.

I put skateboard tape on the 1911 from jeffpac, gonna practice drawing with it when the rain stops. Damn rain is holding up vids I want to post, I need to finish them outside.
