Anyone near gainesville or cleveland do front strap checkering on a stainless 1911? Don't want to ship it or drive to the other side of Atlanta
 
Give this a try.

Works well on my stainless 10mm 1911.

They make one in ss.
I put one of these on my MilSpec Springfield. Works and looks great. Blends in well with a parked gun too. A buddy years back schooled me on these. He had 2 Colts (Gold Cup and Govt Model) that were built up with Kart barrels and adjustable sights and all the bells and whistles. His gunsmith who built his guns put the Wilson Combat checkered front strap on both of his guns with epoxy.

I would highly advise one of the panels Hayata Hayata recommended.

Checkering, much like professional stippling adds almost nothing to the resail value compared to cost, if you decide to sell in the future.
