Does anyone know of someone who can do checkering on the front strap of my 1911, on Island?

Had mine done through Springfield.  One thing I learned that may help you if you've never dealt with Checkering like me at the time is 20lpi is WAY more stabby :P and cuts deeper into your frame than 30, I've actually learned to like it but food for thought.

Also probably would have had the trigger guard undercut too at the same time...
