OMG SO EXCITED!!
I have a love hate relationship with Beretta 92 series pistols. I have used them in civilian life and also while I was attached to an MP unit (just attached to was never an MP myself but qualed with and used the M9) back in the day.
Why I hate them...
Size and weight not efficient for caliber and capacity
Big fat grips (I have very small hands, disproportionately for my body size, it's like I have a regular body but midget hands)
Long trigger reach (see previous comment)
Long heavy trigger
Slide mounted backward operating safety decocker thing
Why I love them...
Classic old school design, beautiful appearance
US Military service pistol for decades that I have memories from back in the day (still in service, kind of, but don't get to play with pistols anymore).
Things that make them better...
A D spring improves the trigger pull weight
A D model slide resolves my dislike of the safety decokcer and looks nice and is easier to grab and charge
A Mec-Gar 18rd flush mag vastly improves the size and weight to caliber and capacity consideration
AND NOW, for the finale!!...
LOK Grips thin grips

These grips address my grip and hand size issues, improve my trigger reach issues, and also the size efficiency issues.

Why I think these are better than Trausch. Materials and manufacturing methods. The majority of Trausch grips were rubber. However the Beretta grips were plastic. Because they were so very thin they could sometimes warp. These LOK grips appear to be made of G10 or something similar and machined.
How they could be better. It might be nice if LOK grips would make some grip screws with thinner heads or shorter shafts as they stand proud a bit. Maybe if I remove the O rings? I'll check that next. YEP!! Taking the O rings out worked. Screws are flush now and everything seems good.
