Frequently Asked Questions

Why install Talon Grips on a Taurus G2C?

Talon Grips are installed on the Taurus G2C to enhance grip and comfort, especially for concealed carry. While the G2C has an aggressive factory texture, Talon Grips provide a more consistent and comfortable feel against the skin and improve handling during shooting.

What is the best way to apply Talon Grips for maximum durability?

For maximum durability, clean the grip surface thoroughly, carefully align and apply the grip panels, and then use a hairdryer or heat gun to make the material pliable. Firmly 'smush' the heated grip into all areas, especially edges, and repeat the heating and smushing process a second time.

How do you ensure Talon Grips don't peel off?

To prevent peeling, ensure the grip is clean before application. Pay close attention to tucking the front edge of the grip panel under the main section, especially where fingers pull back. Heating and thoroughly smushing the grip, particularly on edges and the backstrap, also ensures a secure bond.

What type of Talon Grip is recommended for concealed carry?

The rubberized Talon Grips are recommended for concealed carry. They provide the desired extra grip for shooting while offering a much nicer feel against the body compared to the more aggressive factory texture or the sandpaper-like Talon Grips.
