Frequently Asked Questions

How do you properly prepare a SIG P365 for Talon grip installation?

Before installing Talon grips, ensure your SIG P365 is unloaded and the magazine is removed. Thoroughly clean the grip area with the provided alcohol wipes to remove any dirt, grime, or oils that could prevent the adhesive from sticking properly for a lasting application.

What is the best way to apply Talon grips to a SIG P365 for maximum adhesion?

After cleaning, carefully apply the Talon grip to the SIG P365 frame, ensuring proper alignment. Then, use a hairdryer on high heat for a couple of minutes until the grip is hot to the touch. Firmly press down on the grip, especially around the edges, to ensure it adheres well to the polymer.

Why would someone add Talon grips to a SIG P365 that already has factory stippling?

Even with good factory stippling, Talon grips add a different, tackier texture that can increase grip security. They also cover smooth areas, expand the textured surface, feel better against skin for concealed carry, and can improve control during recoil.

Can Talon grips be installed on magazine extensions for the SIG P365?

Yes, Talon grips can be installed on magazine extensions, such as the 12-round baseplate for the SIG P365. The installation process is similar: clean the baseplate with an alcohol wipe, apply the grip, heat it with a hairdryer, and press firmly to ensure a secure bond.
