I feel like grip will probably always be the weakest link unless you've spent your life time doing a lot of stuff that involves a strong grip.
Everything mentioned above is basically correct. Deadlifts are basically a grip exercise, perform them as heavy as you can while maintaining grip and good form and in time your grip will get better.
I alternate my alternating grip each set so I get equal development, I find that for the heaviest sets double overhand really does require so much strength.
But I know in time, I will be able to do double overhand as my grip gets better and better.
All your pulling exercises will improve your grip, even isometric exercises like farmers walks. Heavy rows, shrugs are all part of building grip.
I've never used chalk or straps, but I know one day I'll find a weight that requires me to do so.
