my wife loves one of the 92FS models i own and she has no problems with it . the grip is fine for her and when i put a set of hogue panels on it she liked it even more (the panels and not the wrap arounds) ...
i actually shoot a 92 brigadier in a practical tactical league and consistently score in the top 5. all the other shooters are running glock, xd, m&p plastic guns and i am the only one shooting a full sized metal gun.. so you can run a 92 as a competition gun
only detractor with accuracy on a 92 is the shooter... some quick and easy upgrades are wolff springs and especially the "D" spring or wolff trigger conversion unit

when i carry my 92 or 96 i leave the hammer down and safety off.. that way the gun is ready to go in DA (I must admit i have a habit of always cocking the gun when drawing due to years with a 1911 where i left the hammer down)...
also, if you have the plastic guide rod i would recommend a metal one. one of the best guide rods out there is a Dedair Stainless Guide rod I have several for all my berettas and most of my Sig's

anyway, the price on the gun is a high for normal pricing, but is actually a decent price for the craziness right now. mags are cheap and plentiful and you can pick up the sand resistant mags cheap (they are mil-surp and checkmate offloaded a lot on to the market a few years back)...
