Wilson Combat Stainless Steel Front Strap

The Wilson Combat Stainless Steel Front Strap (Wilson Combat part no. 100S) is a replacement front strap for a 1911-pattern pistol grip frame. Wilson Combat is one of the most respected names in match-grade 1911 and 2011 pistolsmithing, building parts to the tight tolerances its custom guns are known for. The front strap is the front-facing surface of the grip frame beneath the trigger guard, one of the most handled surfaces on the pistol, and it commonly needs replacement after damage, wear, or when a shooter wants to refinish or re-texture that surface. This stainless steel version gives a durable, corrosion-resistant base for that work.

Key Specifications

• Machined from stainless steel, this front strap resists corrosion and holds up to recoil better than a blued or alloy part.
• As the front strap, it forms the front face of the grip frame beneath the trigger guard, one of the most handled surfaces on the pistol.
• It is built to Wilson Combat’s 1911-pattern frame geometry, matching the specification used across the company’s handgun parts line.
• Stainless steel also takes a brushed or polished refinish well, giving custom builders a clean base to blend the front strap with other frame components.
• Because it is one of the most handled surfaces on the pistol, replacing a worn front strap restores clean edges and finish integrity that affect grip feel.
