I was wondering what the best way or what's the best product to add to the front strap for better grip?  Thanks.

Skateboard tape seems to be pretty popular, I think either Brownells or Midway carries pre cut specific grip tape which is pretty much the same thing but with a name brand on it. Some use Hogue grips that cover the front strap, and Pachymayr makes them as well.

Ok, so pretty much the same as any.  I just didn't want to desecrate my 1911 with unacceptable items. lol  Thanks

i put hogues on my custom II and my springfield Ulra Compact. i think they will go on any other 1911 i own. that way i get the same familiar grip everytime no matter what i pick up to shoot.

There are many in the community that believe anything other than a series 70 gov't model Colt is sacrilege. There are also many that hate on Kimber because a friend had a friend who had one that didn't run reliably....riiight. You will find a lot of elitism  within the 1911 community, just try not to get caught up in it.

Screw 'em. It's your pistol, rig it out however you want because at the end of the day, you're the one that shelled out the cash for it.
