Wilson Combat Checkered Frontstrap, Blued Steel

The Wilson Combat Checkered Frontstrap (brand part no. 100B) is a blued steel, wraparound frontstrap that gives a 1911 shooter a non-slip surface for fast, controlled follow-up shots, even with sweaty hands. It’s built as an inexpensive substitute for having a pistol’s frame hand-checkered, delivering a similar grip texture without the gunsmith bill. The frontstrap is held in place by the pistol’s own grip panels, so it’s a true drop-in part that only needs a screwdriver to install. Wilson Combat builds this frontstrap specifically for Government and Commander frame 1911s.
