Beretta Model 81 after market wood grips.

Anyone have any experience with various aftermarket grips; particularly the ebay choices?

I got the Altamonts and like them a lot. Turned them from nice pistols to shoot to great pistols to shoot.

eBay from Thailand or nearby? I bought a set of checkered wood grip panels years ago for my CZ75 PCR through eBay and I was happy with what came across the ocean.

For my particular Beretta 81BB, I chose a pair of G-10 grips since G-10 can be made thinner than wood and not split or crack. But if you need hand filling grips wood certainly is a good way to go.

Similar experience here. I've bought a couple pairs off eBay for a Colt 1903 that both fit great.

Not wood, but I got a set of LOK G10 grips for my 81 that look great and are very ergonomic. Beretta 84 | 81 Thin Checkered Dark Red Black - LOK Grips

I’m looking for attractive hardwood like tallballs Altamont grips. A dressed up factory look.

I’ve got S&W K and M1911 eBay grips. Like them, but looking for something a little “dressier”.
My Italian prison import just screams for it. It’s a “Sunday go to meeting” or “Barbecue” gun.

Black plastic grips look a little to “SWAT” or spartan for my use.
Pics preferably!

Altamont all day every day. Only issue is that they seem to be out of stock of anything that I like. Maybe you will get lucky.

 

[GooseGestapo]

No luck.

That's exactly what I have on my 81BB. Thin between the screw heads. Kind of an interesting grip profile.

Got the Turkish laser-engraved grips off eBay for my 70s. Very nice and fit perfectly. I see similar ones for the 81 listed.

I've bought about four pairs of Thai grips from Ebay. I've liked them in general, but the QC is so-so. A couple of them needed some sanding or filing to fit properly.

I went with Lok blue/black, very grippy.

Those Blue grips look so awesome I had to order a pair.
