long ago i tried to make some 1911 grips out of some exotic wood scraps. not worth the effort. i think the 92 would have the same result.

Beretta offers some nice wood grips on their website, and lately i've been favoring the VZ grips for the 92 and 1911. checkering is fine for me, they have other patterns too, and the G10 material can be had in lots of colors, so pick one you like. they don't wear out like walnut or rosewood.

hammer spring swap is way easy. there is a trick to the mag release, the far end goes in first, not the button end. and then it just snaps in, and you wonder "why does everyone have trouble with this?" this was easy.

i might have a "few" Berettas.....cough.....
