Aftermarket grips for the 98 Steel provide texture for consistent purchase under recoil, geometry adjusted to your palm, and thumb shelf options for fixed lateral control. The 98 Steel adds a steel frame to the 98 platform, increasing mass for better balance and reduced felt recoil. The extra weight of the steel frame changes how the gun sits in the hand, and grips that match your palm geometry work with that heavier platform. Confirm Steel-specific compatibility on the individual product page.
