Beretta 92/96 Grips, Full Size, Checker

These grips are great. I feel they really enhance the appearance of my Beretta. They are slightly thinner than the factory grips. Not so much that they spoil my feel for the gun but it is certainly noticeable. If you are looking for thinner grips this would be an excellent choice. Although I have yet to shoot with them, I really like the texture. It is aggressive enough to ensure control but it is not uncomfortable. It did take a little bit of pressure to get them over the bushings but it was easy enough and I never felt like I might damage anything by doing it.

Great product

Fit perfectly. Gave the gun a great finish

This review is for the “Cool Hand G10 Grips for Beretta 92 fs, 96 Full Size, m9, 92a1, 92 INOX, Black Pistol Grips Screws Included, Checker Diamond Cut Texture, 1/4" Thin”. I ordered this for a Beretta M9. I love the gun, but one of the biggest complaints about it was that the standard stock grip feels oddly wide for people with small to medium sized hands. The Cool Hand grip was listed as “thin” and I had high hopes it would improve (narrow) the grip. Unfortunately, it did not work for me and I am planning on returning it. Fortunately, it did come in plastic packaging that could be easily opened and re-closed without having to cut it open. This product however… looks good. I didn’t modify or sand anything to get it to fit (no need). It fit like a glove! Perfect! It was a nice improvement in grip texture and not too aggressive. Yet, to me… it seemed to be as thick as the original grip, and even worse at the top where the “thumb sweep area” is. One of the lesser known features of the M9/92FS is that the slide mounted safety can be deactivated (to shoot) by using the same motion as on a 1911 (or most other pistols with safety switches… search for “safety manipulation Beretta M9” for videos on YouTube). The slide mounted safety switch operates differently (opposite from a frame mounted safety) it has a spring action and is actually made to “spring up” when your thumb rubs against it. It pushes slightly forward first… and then springs UP as you sweep DOWN with your thumb. It sounds weird, but works just nicely once you train a tad with it. I had hoped that thinner grips could help me with reaching these controls easier (it helped when I tested it with the grips completely removed and wrapped with a couple layers of cloth to test it). Unfortunately, the Cool Hand grips isn’t tapered inward like the original (where the thumb sweeps). So, it actually makes it worse. So, if you don’t use this feature and you only need better looks or a better grip texture, these replacement grips may work fine for you.

These look fantastic. Change the look for the better and I have received many complements. Very positive grip also.

These hurt. They feel great in your hand but if you carry, they will kill your skin. Wear something between the grip and your body.

Fit was perfect for my Inox 92

The look great and feel great But the screw holes don’t line up at all. You can’t put them on flush. I have a 92fs. Also this is the 2nd set. First set did the same and they replaced them quickly. They aren’t useable for me
