Thanks WVSig and AustinTX, I didn't even know custom grips were a thing. Who does them that's reputable? Do I like...send an email to Hogue? Money isn't a huge issue as long as it's not totally insane.
My NEW Beretta 92s

I would check with these guys. I have not used them but they have decent feedback on the Beretta forum.

I got to shoot mine this Sunday.
I had installed the 16lb hammer spring which made the DA pull much smoother and nicer.
The pistol shot like a dream.
No issues what so ever.
My only complaint is the sights.
They are just small and the front blade is easily lost in low light.
Due to the design I don't see where much can be done about installing a larger front blade. The rear sight could be updated but not sure if it would not be cost prohibitive.
I will put a bit of white paint on it and see if that improves sight quality.

New 92S
I went to a gun show in Houston Sunday and there was one dealer that had a new looking 92S. He claimed it was unfired and it appeared as so. The dealer wanted $700 for it and I didn't even offer a counter price. After paying $300 for mine that shoots good but not as new with holster wear I might have offered $400 for his. I don't think he will sell it for $700 since the new ones 92FS were selling for $599+ he was way overpriced.

Joe, my first 92 from PSA was in new / unfired condition...luck of the draw and $289. I ordered a second and will pick it up tomorrow $259 from PSA, I do not expect to get another new one but your $700 guy is nuts! I am not a true Beretta fan but at $259 it was hard not to buy.
In Dec 2007 century was selling Beretta 92S police trade ins for $240. The FFL transfer was $15.
I was contracting at an aerospace company. I got a bunch of other engineers to go in on shipping.
Then century ran out of magazines and sold the pistols cheaper. We got more because I said I could modify 92F mags.
I bought a bunch of 92FS type magazines.
When I tried to mill them, I found out they are made of hardened steel, and I had to use a carbide end mill.
