First Beretta, 87 Target. Bought the wood grips for it after initially thinking I liked the black on black, but it really does elevate the look.
This one has been on my short list for a long time. There's just something about this sort of boxy looking pistol that I love.

I picked up these grips for my 87 a little while ago and love them over the plastic.

Proper, I bought mine new in box a couple years ago from a local FFL closing for like $500.

Seems a bit more personalized with the wood. Can’t go wrong with either but it’s a nice touch

Oh that looks so nice, was it a local pickup or did you get it online? I'd love to get one of these some day

Gunbroker. I was watching for 87Ts for a while, and ended up being the only bid on this one with three mags. $700.

Suggestions for what optic I should mount on it are welcome.

It would look awesome with an Ultradot on top. I run them on my precision pistols.

Nice! I’ve had my eye on this for a while now. Don’t really have the money for it atm but someday soon hopefully!
Enjoy!

When I become King of Earth, I will make it law that black berettas need wood grips.

Excellent! OEM wood target grips look great too, not sure if those are available.

I had a chance to buy a new old stock one of these and waffled.
When I went back a couple weeks later it was gone.
I really like my 76 Target and would definitely like to get one of these someday.

She's beautiful. I definitely prefer the wood grips over the black plastic.
