Small girly hands & a 92fs

[psychophd]

So, I still like my 92fs despite my small girly hands. In part I like it because it's preban, so I have 15 round mags. However, I can tell a big difference between handling it and my H&K P30.

What are my thin grip options for my 92fs? I know there was a thread on this a while ago but couldn't find it. Any real world experience with different thinner grips would be helpful too.

Please excuse me while I go paint my nails and put on a dress.

You're scaring me, man!

Trausch makes proabably the thinnest grips. Hogue Extreme aluminum are probably thinner and are a LOT grippier, so make holding the gun easier.

But if you are using stock plastic Beretta grips, they don't get a lot thinner. Even the two above mentioned.

I have had several Hogue Extremes, never used Trausch, but they are good quality.

Orange USA, are you saying that my stock plastic grips are as small as they get? I think trausch state their grips are thinner than stock, no?

[psychophd]

Sorry - I read that too quickly. What you're saying is that the grips are not appreciably thinner than stock. Got it - thanks!

I'm in the same girly boat. When I decided to get a wondernine I discovered the CZ-75. That's a great fit for smaller hands. But since you already have the 92 and hi-cap mags the thinner grip panels will have to do. Good luck.

Buy a single stack 85fs 9mm short

I've tried different grips on mine, but I have found nothing thinner than the stock grips.

My hands are not large, and I shoot my 92fs just fine.

I went with alternative route. Beretta 92FS simply does not fit my hand well. Too big and too wide (I'm talking about the gun here, ladies). But I still love the design and quality to it. So after months of research and almost a year of search, I found my answer:

Beretta Vertec G model



It has identical features of FS (with rail) but with 0.2" short barrel (stock FS barrel are interchageable), and STRAIGHT back grip with slightly deeper web cutting. It's shape fits shooters with small hands much better.

You have excellent taste my friend! And let's not forget, the Vertec takes standard 92 series mags as well.

Ref: the best thin grips for the model 92. I too have small hands. I've tried just about every manufacture of grips for the gun out there but prefer the factory stock grips. My favorite 92. like all my other semi's (3rd gen S&W, Colt Defender Plus, etc.), has a strip of "skater tape" on the front strap. It really helps me get a positive grip on the gun.

Good Luck!

You'd fair quite well with a 1911.

[scglock]

+1 on a 1911

agreed

I too have little girl hands, one of main reasons why I do not like the 92f/M9

That reminds me... a 9mm 1911 will have slim grips...

As mentioned, the Trausch grips would probably be your best bet. Also, how old is your pistol? Around 2000, the Beretta 92s started coming with frames that had a reduced radius backstrap. It didn't turn the grip into a Browning High Power, but it did get rid of a little of the girth. If you have an older gun you could sell it/keep it and then get a newer gun and still use your pre-ban magazines.
