I have put a set on my 96. Haven't gotten it out to the range since adding them yet, but I like the feel of the Pachmayrs on everything. They are kind of in-between a Hogue tacky and a hard plastic. Soft-touch but not rubbery, a nice balance. They generally add a lot of girth to a pistol, so if you have small hands, you may not like them as well.Originally Posted by Clobbersaurus
You can do just just the side panels with skateboard tape front and back to minimize the girth.
Thanks for the link! I just contacted him, hopefully he ships to Canada!
If I'm reading it right, those are OEM grips that are modified. I thought ipsc was no modifications?
i used to wannabe
I've noticed Ergo Grips now has Beretta 92 grips. http://ergogrips.net/products/handgu...-model-92.html
Yeah it says in rule 16.1 that modifications to OFM parts is prohibited........but rule 17.3 states: "17.3 Aftermarket grip panels which match the profile and contours of the OFM standard or optional grip panels for the approved handgun and/or the application of tape on grips (see Appendix E3a) are permitted. However, rubber sleeves are prohibited."
I wouldn't modify the grips I would buy them as an aftermarket part, from his website. It's a stupid distinction I know, not sure it it follows the rules or not.
It seems my conversion to full gamer is almost complete.....
I can't get them in the Great White North.....
Hogue also makes rubber replacement panels similar to the standard grips, in fact they were offered as OEM on some 92/96 models. I had a set on my 96D Brig duty gun back in the day along with skate tape but I had to buy the ones from Beretta with the logo for them to be recognized as a "factory" part. Shot my first USPSA match with that gun.
The way the front strap kicks out at the bottom doesn't work for me - it makes my strong-hand pinky finger feel scrunched. I went with wraparound Hogues at first to straighten out the run of the front strap. The finger separators were in the wrong place, so I ground them off, and it all worked out pretty well.
I'm not referring to the wrap around Hogues with the finger grooves.
They are crap on both the SIG and Beretta. They are too big unless you have XXXL hands and if you do have XXXL hands the finger grooves are too small.
Every shooter I've had at work saw there scores improve when we too the hogue wrap arounds off their beretta or SIG.
I was talking about these: http://www.hogueinc.com/store/produc...els-black/4195
Here is the same thing (Made by Hogue) but with the Beretta logo, from Beretta so there is no question it's a "factory" part.
