Frequently Asked Questions

What are the two main types of Talon Grips available for firearms?

Talon Grips offers two primary textures: rubberized, which provides a comfortable and non-abrasive grip enhancement, and granulate, which resembles sandpaper for maximum traction and a very secure hold on the firearm.

How do you properly install Talon Grips on a pistol?

Installation involves cleaning the grip area with an alcohol wipe, carefully peeling and aligning the grip, pressing it firmly into place, and then using a blow dryer on low heat to help the grip conform and adhere securely to the firearm's contours.

What are the potential downsides of using granulate Talon Grips?

The highly abrasive nature of granulate Talon Grips can cause significant wear on Kydex holsters, clothing, and other materials that come into contact with the firearm. It's important to avoid applying them to areas that will interface directly with a holster.

Are Talon Grips a permanent modification to a firearm?

No, Talon Grips are not 100% permanent. They can be removed if the user decides they are not suitable or wishes to reposition them, offering a degree of flexibility in their application.
