I am considering checkering the front strap of my 1911 to 25-30 LPI ( I've had both and need to decide).

What are the going prices for checkering these days? I haven't had it done in over 15 years.

Also, aren't there other options (Golf Balls etc.) that might be as functional, but are "Machined" versus "Hand Done" that might be less expensive? I'd really appreciate some links.

All thoughts are welcome from those who know.

Thanks!
