Custom pistol grips crafted from wood designed for the Beretta 92FS (also known as the M9) offer an alternative to the standard factory grips. These aftermarket enhancements can be found in various wood types, finishes, and checkering patterns to improve aesthetics, ergonomics, and overall handling. An example would be a set of checkered walnut grips designed to fit the 92FS frame.
Replacing factory grips with wooden variants can significantly enhance the firearm’s appearance, providing a classic or customized look. Beyond aesthetics, wood grips can offer a more comfortable and secure grip, especially for users with larger hands or those seeking improved control during firing. This is often attributed to the natural texture and contouring possibilities of wood. Historically, wood has been a favored material for firearm grips due to its availability, workability, and inherent shock-absorbing qualities.
