Holy cow it’s a small world. My favorite gun shop is in Jacksonville and I drive the hour there frequently. I’m really surprised I haven’t heard of him before. I can’t wait to get up with him. Thanks for the tip.

The 92C and I got along MUCH better today! The pistol ran flawlessly, and had much less felt recoil than the PX4C.
92C:
The PX4C was shot after the 92C, and its recoil was noticeably snappier, but fine. It’s SA trigger was noticeably lighter than the 92C, and is about a pound lighter according to my Lyman gauge. Still a great pistol. I dropped one shot with the 92C, and 3 shots with the PX4C, but the latter’s trigger was breaking more quickly than the 92C.
PX4C:
EDIT: Targets were at 10 yards, and rate of fire was as fast as I could get my sights realigned.

A few years ago, I looked at stippling as kind of a travesty--but I admit, some of the jobs I've seen on here are gorgeous. Still, it has a measure of permanence that I'm not 100% comfortable with.
I mean, it's not like I have any "issues" with the PX4 grip. It's actually excellent--and the second-best feeling gun I own. But the 92 with the VZs is just... ergonomic poetry.
The rubber Talons are nice--but they tend to feel a little slick once your hands get sweaty. I might try the skateboard tapey Talons at some point. And honestly... the gun is fine with nothing at all.

You must have the grip strength of Thor then. The PX4 squirmed around in my hands like a wet noodle before I stippled it. I do live in Eastern NC where the relative humidity always seems to be above 70-80%, so that might have something to do with it. But the grip with nothing on it is pretty darn slick IMO.
Shoot more, post less...
Yeah, I find the PX4's ergonomics to be fairly similar to that of Mjolnir. Definitely the handgun preferred by most thunder gods.
Seriously though, I thought it felt pretty darn good out of the box. For my hand, the overall shape just lends itself to staying planted--texture of course helps. When I first got the thing, I pontificated about not putting on the Talons. Then I was like, "What the hell." And yeah--they feel nice.
On the opposite end of the spectrum... HK USP. Than gun just disagreed with me, ergonomically. No matter how hard I squeezed, Talons or no Talons, it just never felt like the thing was properly planted. HK45c wasn't much better.

I can't imagine a frame replacement from Beretta costing much more than what many companies charge for stippling so do it yourself. It's not hard to get the texture you desire, especially if you practice for a bit on something else. It's not like you're tattooing yourself, so give it a shot.

Find one.
Since they charge more for a replacement slide, then the whole gun, and I have never seen a replacement frame, I would be shocked to see them, let alone they be reasonable.
Is the frame serialized with the PX4s? That’s potentially a wrinkle/hassle if you ruin one.

Yes, it is.
Lots of people carry guns with differing slide/frame serial #s. I wouldn't have any issue with that, especially when issued by the OEM mfg.
