Does anyone know if RRA will checker the underside of the trigger guard as an option?

Thanks.

My Limited Match has checkering under the trigger guard and as I didn't order it I presume it's standard.

Checkering

Yes The Limited Match Is Checkered At 40 Lpi Under The Trigger Guard. They Will Cheker Under The Trigger Guard On Other Models Also FoR $50. It Is Listed On Page 38 Of The July 2005 Catalog. Jp

What function or purpose does checkering under the trigger guard serves?

Irritating the heck out of my second finger. Not sure either, why anyone would want this.

I believe I'm correct in saying it's there to help the shooter "lock" their grip in. It helps you to keep a correct grip, at least in theory.

Yes, it really makes the support hand a much more solid part of the grip. I've been using grip tape on the front strap and under the trigger guard for a while now, and the difference it adds is really significant (in my opinion).

Hilton Yam believes it helps to secure one's grip and includes it on his signature grade pistols.

Absolutely none.

Purely cosmetic.

I must be gripping mine wrong, because I never touch it.

Maybe I better experiment a bit...

Hilton Yam is an LEO (all due respect granted) and part time 'smith whose signature grade 1911s, when compared to the guys who have been at this for awhile, certainly wouldn't be on my top five list. Just because its there doesn't mean it serves a purpose.

I don't like it and I can guarntee you I would never pay extra to have it put on either. My CDP has it and I am not to happy about it, but it has never botherd me to much! nor has it chewed up my finger. But! I still wouldn't have it if I had the choice.

I guess this assumes that under the stress of the moment that you have a good grip to begin with. What good does it do if it locks in a bad grip?

In my experience, after 300 rds the 1st day of a tactics class,that sticky blood really gives you a heck of a grip.:grumble:
