General Beretta M9A3 question: are there aftermarket grips similar the large rubber grips that come with it which simulate the traditional 92 shape?
I like the size and shape of the stock large grip, but dislike the squishyness of the rubber.
Not that I've ever seen, sorry.
If anyone's looking for a plain jane 92FS, Palmetto State Armory is selling them for $450 until noon tomorrow: http://palmettostatearmory.com/beret...=11%3a00+Email
I've never bought a firearm from them, only ammo and magazines, but I've never had a problem dealing with PSA.
Wish I'd have known about this before I dropped $400+ tax on a used 92F Saturday.
I ordered a pair of stripped lowers from them about 6 or 7 years ago. No complaints.

I visited a LGS over the weekend that typically has a good selection of firearms on hand. They didn't have a single 92-series in stock and the guy behind the counter said they've been hard to get recently.
Okay everyone who has contributed to this thread, you all suck.
I came home with a non-rail 92 Compact today from another LGS. It's a nice unit, and the dimensions are just different enough that it enables me to manipulate the safety/decocker more easily.
They were also un-boxing a M9A3 they just received. I examined it and that seems to be a very nicely made pistol. They are asking $1000+ for it. This shop has several Berettas in stock, not sure why the other LGS can't get them.
Now ends 10/2:

Tennessee-made M9s have reliability almost 10 times better than the rate of reliability required by the U.S. Army in its current Modular Handgun System program.
Sounds like they did not make a mess of the transition.

Press release:
New Tennessee-made Beretta M9 Pistols Continue Records for Reliability
September 13, 2017 04:14 PM
Beretta Defense Technologies (BDT) is pleased to announce that new M9 pistols tested at the Company’s manufacturing facility in Gallatin, Tennessee have continued the world-record reliability pace for the product. Beretta U.S.A. completed the fourteenth consecutive M9 Lot Acceptance Test (LAT) this month with an average of only one malfunction every 19,090 rounds. During this testing period 42 M9 pistols were fired 210,000 rounds, with resultant reliability almost 10 times better than the rate of reliability required by the U.S. Army in its current Modular Handgun System program.
Beretta U.S.A. has now delivered thousands of new M9 pistols to both U.S. military and Foreign Military customers from the Company’s Gallatin facility. New U.S. and Foreign Military Sales M9 orders were issued to the Company in August, extending production of M9 pistols from that facility into the year 2020.
“These pistols have successfully undergone 100% complete individual component interchangeability testing with no issues. These same pistols then passed all of the individual pistol tests after the Interchange Test, including Headspace Verification, Firing Pin Indent, Trigger Pull, Function, and Targeting & Accuracy. The pistols also each passed the function and other individual pistol tests 100%”, stated Gabriele de Plano, Vice- President of Military Marketing and Operations for Beretta Defense Technologies.
“The incredible reliability of the M9 pistol is being continuously confirmed,” Mr. de Plano added. “Half of the LAT Reliability tests resulted in “perfect” reliability scores with zero malfunctions in 15,000 rounds!”
“The most important characteristic of a military firearm is that it function as intended when needed in a crisis,” stated Franco Gussalli Beretta, Executive Vice-President of Beretta U.S.A. “The M9 has always proven itself to be the most reliable combat pistol in its 30 years of service with the US Armed Services and new M9 pistols being delivered today continue to show that reliability and performance.”

Although the reliability is really superb and truly awesome, that they did this with output from their new factory is more impressive to me.
