The 98 Steel is the steel framed 9x21 Beretta, a heavier gun made for sport shooting. Its grip frame differs from the standard 98, so it needs grips made for it, and Toni System makes one.
Toni System 3D grips
The 3D grips are contoured polymer with a palm swell. They fill the hand more than flat factory panels, so the gun sits in the same place on every draw and the pressure of the grip is spread across the palm. On a heavy steel pistol fired in long strings, that means less fatigue and a steadier hold through recoil.
Why not standard 98 grips
Grips for the 92, 96, 98 and M9A1 are shaped for the standard frame. The 98 Steel's frame is different, and a grip for the standard gun will not sit correctly on it. That is why this page shows only the 98 Steel version.
Fitting
Swapping the panels takes a screwdriver and a few minutes; the original screws are reused.
See Grips for Beretta 98 Steel. Other 98 parts are on the Beretta 98 page.
