Question about a old beretta 84

Went window shopping at a gun store after work today. They had a beautiful surplus beretta 84b. No magazine disconnect, finish in decent shape for a police surplus, the asking price was impossible to walk away from and i really like .380 pistols. Gave it a light oiling and it ran beautifully no feeding or ejection issues. They really don't make them used to. I want to swap the grip panels for something with a bit more grip and beretta medallions. The screws heads don't look like normal flat head, the slot is thinner than anything in have. What size screw driver do I need?

My suggestion is to get a set of gunsmithing screw drivers. I have this one from Wheeler Engineering. It has every possible tip that you will ever need. There are smaller and less expensive ones that are also available.
 
Got it done. Original beretta 84 wood grips off Amazon and harbor freight supplied the correct screwdriver. Compact, 13 round capacity, not overly uncomfortable to shoot, the 84 is one fine looking firearm. Now I want a 80x or maybe a browning BDA.
