    I just got A 84B all original wood grips one owner . He bought it long time ago new and his kids didn’t want it . I walked into the store first day they put it out . It was Imported by Berben imports ny ny for beretta . Over 40 Years old and not a scratch or chip on frame . I honestly thought it was a dream .

    Just picked up a Beretta refurbished 85BB. Gave it a good cleaning. Beretta seems to have given it a quick once over before boxing it up. One of the mags had a nice collection of lint balls in it. The gun itself is pretty impressive. Kind of like a mini 92. Smaller than a 92 Compact. It's well balanced, fits the hand nicely, and looks very classic and stylish. I wish it had a decocker. I'll keep my eyes open for an F or FS model. I have an 81 that is the double stack .32 ACP. Not a whole lot of difference in thickness. I've left the plastic grips on mine for now.

    One note. Before you start to remove grip's screw, tide them little more, clockwise, to lock grip bushings. Then you can unscrew grip's screws. This is reacquired in case grip bushing are loose, you will unscrew them together with grip screws.

    Very nice gun. I have one and the action is absolutely the smoothest of any semi auto I’ve ever felt. I had to laugh when you spoke of the grip screws getting damaged due to someone using the inappropriate size tool to turn them……then you break out your handmade….and obviously wrong size…..screwdriver and start hammering away on that fine firearm. Let me suggest you look into a Brownells screwdriver kit made for firearms that probably won’t cost as much as the grips you put on the 85…..and they will fit perfectly every time ! No more bunging up your own gun….lol. It’s a very nice example that’s had more than a magazine or 2 through it…( the rails don’t show that kind of wear after 8 rounds !!! ) But simply because it’s had it’s share of rounds through it is no reason not to be very proud of it ! Nice find….enjoy !

    Dang, I hate to hear that you had to send it back. I bought a Makarov with a +$25 Bakelite grip option from Classic about 2 years ago. It showed up with a quite a bit of wear and looked like to grip was used to hammer on something at some point in its life. I did decide to keep it because I didn’t want to go through the hassle of returning it. And a little wear just shows character…
