The stock grips on the Beretta 92 have never worked for me. Used Wilson Combat thin grips mostly. However, the LTT thin grips are perfect for me and love them.

Ahrends grips were always comfortable on the K frames I had but never kept. An option sadly no longer available new; north-central Iowa loses another non-ag small manufacturing business.
The thickness variation of the "standard" 1911 grip is real, but even some of them that mike the same feel vastly different to me due to the material, texturing, finish... even different checkering patterns. I was aware of this sort of thing on revolver grips, but always thought the relatively flat slivers of wood or plastic on a 1911 were fairly alike. Wrong.

I’d like get Nills for my other Sigs (including my other P239s), but man—they’re like $200 a pop now. If anyone knows of anything that replicates the contour/feel of Nills for Sigs, let me know.

disembodied soul is looking down at his own corpse wondering what happened.
Forgive me if I'm smokin' crack, here, but do you have dead ponies on those grips?? It looks like the Colt medallion is upside down!?!
As for grips that are perfect: The VZ's on my LTT elite centurion are spot on perfect for me. Stock 92 grips feel like I'm gripping a shovel handle. The LTT's grips( and other refinements) made me add a Beretta to the Glock stable.
For 1911s
Old School-Herretts/Ahernds/Esmereldas do a great job with the intersection of grip/ease on skin & clothes and looks.
The rubber Pachmayr Signature Grips were a game changer when they came out and still have quite a following given their extensive use in certain military and law enforcement communities over the years. I have no doubt that their revolutionary work in their revolver lines crossed over as well.
Mid School- VZ Grips are excellent in every way. The fact that they still pay Mr. Simonich's widow a royalty re their Gunner Grips is pure class IMHO.
New School-For the price, it is very difficult to beat a set of stock Ergo or Magpul Polymer Grips.

I'm getting there. For the 1911, it is a combination: Short trigger, arched MSH, Pearce finger grooves, and slim grips (currently Altamont Slimtech).
I find that the rubber panels of the Pearce finger grooves make standard grip panels too thick, and plump up the Slimtechs just enough.
I found the checkered front strap to be too grippy....it would grip my fingers even if they weren't "in place". A set of G10 Slimtechs are on order from Altamont for this one:
VZ Black Cherry Pro Slims are the ticket for my Hi-Power:
