Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prepare my S&W M&P Shield for Talon Grip installation?

Begin by thoroughly cleaning the firearm's grip surface with an alcohol prep pad. This crucial step ensures the adhesive on the Talon Grip bonds effectively and provides a long-lasting, secure fit.

What is the best way to align Talon Grips on a pistol?

Use distinct reference points on your firearm, such as the manufacturer's logo or specific frame contours, to meticulously align the Talon Grip before applying pressure. This ensures a precise and professional-looking installation.

Why is heat important when installing Talon Grips?

Applying heat with a hairdryer after the grip is positioned softens the adhesive. This allows it to fully conform to the firearm's texture, creating a permanent, bubble-free bond that enhances durability and feel.

Can Talon Grips be installed on extended magazines?

Yes, the Talon Grip kit typically includes a matching strip for extended magazines. The installation process is identical: clean the magazine sleeve, align the grip, apply it, and then set it with heat.
