Beretta 92 grips

The Beretta 92 (often called Beretta 92 or M9 in U.S. service) is one of the most iconic 9mm semi-automatic pistols, blending Italian heritage with modern reliability

Beretta, founded in 1526, drew inspiration from earlier designs: the open-slide profile from the M1923 blowback pistol and the falling locking block mechanism from the M1951 (Beretta's first locked-breech 9mm, adopted by Egypt and Israel)

Development began in the early 1970s amid global shifts to double-action/high-capacity service pistols (influenced by the Walther P38 and emerging designs like CZ-75). Led by designers Carlo Beretta, Giuseppe Mazzetti, and Vittorio Valle, the Model 92 prototypes emerged in 1975—featuring DA/SA trigger, staggered 15-round magazine, aluminum frame, and signature open slide

Production started in May 1976 in Gardone Val Trompia, Italy. Early 92 models had frame-mounted safety; the 92S (1977) added slide-mounted safety/decocker for Italian police/Carabiniere adoption

The breakthrough came during the U.S. XM9 trials (1977–1984) to replace the M1911. Beretta refined the pistol into the 92F (1984): standardized parts, squared trigger guard, chrome-lined barrel, Bruniton finish, and ambidextrous controls. It won the contract in 1985, becoming the M9—serving U.S. forces for over 30 years (despite early slide-crack issues fixed in the 92FS update)

Over 3.5 million produced, the Beretta 92 family (92FS, 92X, M9A3, etc.) remains a benchmark for military, law enforcement, and civilian use—celebrated for accuracy, low recoil, and timeless design

The grips are compatible with various modifications of the 92 model: 92A1, 92G, 92FS, 96, 96A1, 98FS, 98A1, M9, M9A1
