Put the new grips on the Model 81 Beretta I bought for my wife. I think they really improve the looks and she loves the way it feels in her hands.
They are the Super Rosewood grips from Altamont.
The grips don't come with screws so I had to rehabilitate the old ones which were rusty. Polished them with a Dremel, degreased with brake cleaner, then used some Brownell's Oxpho to reblue. You can't hardly see them in the new grips, but I thought they came out looking pretty nice.
Had to order some of the thin-bit Magna Tips advertised as being for "narrow slotted European screws." I got the thinnest they offered and they fit my 81 and two of a buddy's little pocket Berettas perfectly. Nothing either one of us had would even come close to fitting those screw slots.
