Ever purchased an "X-Grade" or "Cracked Grip" surplus gun at a steep discount and just figure "Easy, I'll just get aftermarket grips and call it good" but nobody else makes them? That's what happened to yours truly with the Beretta 1934s I bought with broken grips. Nobody made any that looked decent or felt good, so I decided to make my own. This color was intended as "poor man's Bakelite", and since it's Autumn and I'm white, they are officially my "Pumpkin Spice" custom grips.
This took me months (I know, some of you are like, "dude, they're just grips, make the file and print, simple as that) to get these down to fit perfectly AND still look decent and most important: feel good while holding/firing. SO, I am testing out to see if this is something I should offer regularly, or if this is just something that I will have for future Beretta 34/35 purchases.
SO, basically these are a perfect fit, and are thicker than OG grips, which are really comfortable, but tend to break and are very fragile and expensive to replace. These grips are intended to be used in place of in-tact grips so you don't break them, or for those who, like me, purchased them with already cracked/broken grips and needed some replacements anyway without costing an arm and a leg. These aren't perfect, they're not pretty, and they're probably not super symmetrical, but they've been working for me for quite some time now. These screw in using the original grip screws, and fit securely using the original cutouts and pins that hold them in place. DO NOT crank the screws down super hard, or these can crack right next to the screw hole, but that's the only thing I've encountered as far as issues with these, and that's easy to avoid.
Basically, they work, they aren't a monumental work of art, they're supposed to be functional yet still mildly aesthetically pleasing so you can use these amazing little pistols without worrying about breaking the great, but fragile original grips. These are 3d printed by me using PLA+, so in a very hot car in hot climates, maybe not the best, but for regular use/carry, these should be just great. I'm keeping these priced low because they aren't perfect, and I want people to have them. Let me know if you have any questions, but it's pretty straight forward, and low risk.
(obviously the Beretta in the photos are for example purposes only, and it is NOT included, only the grip panels.)
