Frequently Asked Questions

How do you properly prepare the Walther PPS M2 grip frame before installing Talon Grips?

Before installing Talon Grips on your Walther PPS M2, ensure the firearm is unloaded. Thoroughly clean the grip frame using the provided prep pad or isopropyl alcohol to remove all oils and debris. It's also important to have clean hands for optimal adhesion.

What is the best way to align Talon Grips on a Walther PPS M2 for a perfect fit?

Align the Talon Grip by using the visible indexes on the Walther PPS M2 frame. Key alignment points include the front line of the grip, the magazine well, the 'PPS' lettering with its square window, and the magazine release button. This multi-point alignment prevents crooked installation.

Why is heating the Talon Grip important after installation on a Walther PPS M2?

Heating the Talon Grip with a hairdryer for a couple of minutes after initial application is crucial. The heat allows the grip material to become pliable, enabling it to conform better to the firearm's texture and ensuring a deeper, more secure adhesion when pressed down.

What is the common issue when reassembling the slide on a Walther PPS M2 after grip modification, and how is it fixed?

After modification, you might feel resistance when reassembling the slide on a Walther PPS M2. This is due to the trigger bar being in the way. To fix this, simply lift the trigger slightly to its reset position, which will allow the slide to slide on smoothly.
