The grip that fits your Beretta 90 Series pistol depends on the frame family: full-size models sharing the 92FS grip frame (92FS, 92F, 92G, 92D, 92DS, 92A1, 96, 98, M9, M9A1, Brigadier, Elite) use one grip panel, VerTec-frame models (92X, M9A3, M9A4) use another, and heel-release models like the 92S use the factory-era frame that most aftermarket panels do not cover. This guide explains how to identify your frame and pick the right VAVUSH Tactical grip panel the first time.
What counts as a 92FS-pattern grip frame?
A 92FS-pattern grip frame is the layout used by the full-size Beretta 92 family since the 92F: a dual-panel grip with the magazine release located behind the trigger guard (button release). If your pistol has the slide-mounted safety or decocker of the 92/96 family and a button magazine release, an aftermarket VAVUSH Tactical 90 Series panel will mount without modification.

What about VerTec-frame pistols?
VerTec-framed pistols (92X, M9A3, M9A4) have a straight-back grip frame profile, so they use VerTec-pattern panels such as The Punisher Grips for Beretta VerTec models, which weigh 40 grams (1.4 oz) and are made in Italy from ASA thermoplastic.
Which VAVUSH Tactical grips fit the standard 90 Series frame?
- Minimal Beretta Grips | Classic 90 Series — the flagship slim panel for the 92FS frame.
- Dare in Brocca Slim Grips — available in ASA, TPU, and PLA+ marble finishes.
- The Punisher Grips — VerTec frame only.
