I just purchased the M9A3, but haven't received it yet. My first Beretta was a Vertec 92FS that I purchased in 2002 and for some crazy reason I sold it. The Vertec-style grip does fit my hand much better than the regular 92FS (I just sold mine to pick up the M9A3) and brings the trigger a little closer. It should get to my FFL within the next couple of days and I'm really looking forward to handling it.
