I am looking for Beretta 92 grip screws that are longer than the original manufactures grip screws. The bought some custom wooden grips for the Beretta 92 and the new grips are thicker and the screws do not go through the grips.
I have search the web but have not had any success.
Can anyone help me and suggest where I can get some longer screws?
Thanks

If the grip screws are M3x0.5, and I think they are, Lengths in 4mm to 50mm here..... https://www.albanycountyfasteners.com/Phillips-Pan-Head-Machine-Screw-M3-x-5-p/1066-1008.htm

Thank you Mike, but I was looking for more of a grip screw for a pistol. Meaning a screw with a larger head on it so to fit flush with the pistol grip.

Have you reached out to the manufacturer of the new grips?

I imagine they would have a solution for this problem if they know their grips are slightly larger than factory. I had the opposite problem on my 92 and ended up filing my screws down when switching out grips for something thinner.

Have you tried to remove the washer on the grip screw? If that clears enough room, you may be able to locktite the threads and have enough length to secure the grip panels.

Good Luck.

I would look and/or call Brownells (https://www.brownells.com/)and see if they can assist.

You could also try to taper your grips and 'sink' the existing screw a bit deeper into the handle if you're comfortable doing so
