Once you clean the application area, you take off the backing of the grips and start from one side of the pistol. The instructions included are fairly simple to follow and the kit even includes a alcohol patch in order to clean off grease and other substances on your pistol, prior to application. It’s rough, but there is no doubt it will keep your pistol in a tight position. The grips also come in a rubber-type grips, but I prefer the “skateboard” style grip tape. This allows to create a more streamlined application and feel once installed on the pistol. The best part is, the current version of Talon grips are a much thinner version of the thick grip tape you may remember. And for you more adventurous types, you’ll remember them as the grip tape on your skate board.

If you read the company’s history on the product development you’ll see that it evolved from grip tape, the same material used in industrial complexes to prevent slips. The best thing about Talon grips is the simplicity. I was immediately intrigued by the looks/design and was even more convinced once I had a change to feel the grips in my hand.

I was introduced to Talon grips by a friend who had one on his Glock 19 carry.
