Why do you want them on the front of the slide? Just curious, I have them on a Kimber and never work the slide with them.Looking for a gunsmith in Austin that will install tactical finger grooves on the slide of an RIA 1911. Any ideas?
Just reread the post and figured out you are asking about the front of the grip. Try some skateboard tape before you decide to cut the frame. Personally, I don't care for it.

Wilson carries a thin aluminum sriip that is checkered and wraps around and is secured by the grips. I've handled a few with it and they are not too bad.
Are you talking about two separate things?
Why would you contemplate spending that much $$$ on a RIA?
Why not start purchasing some Fusion parts and collect for a new build over time?
I like these wrap around grips. Only $18 at Midway.
