Todd, I actually just sold my Type M for the same reasons you mentioned. The grip was too fat given its decreased round capacity and the grip length itself didnt fit my hand too well.
Ship, I was hoping to find a set of rubber grips for this one too, but now that I have it in my possession, these factory combat grips are SO THIN and comfortable that Im going to have the front and back straps checkered in hope to make up the texture/grip difference.
been sniffing around a Beretta Elite II 92G that's for sale. lightly used, with aluminum case. they're asking $1500. seems a bit steep.
Speaking of GB, today I scored a 92G compact with three magazines, tritium sights, supposedly just light holster wear for $500. Figure I will send it to Josh at Allegheny for spa treatment when I send him some others in a few weeks. If I decide to be a full time Beretta guy in the future, I figured I would want a compact, and if not, there is always YVK.
I was under the impression these are somewhat hard to find? What is the popular opinion on the 92G compact?
So what is the allure of the 92G Compact slide on a 92A1 lower (found reference to this in an older thread)?
TLG tells me that the 92G Compact along with the Vertec version of it are perhaps his two favorite pistols.
