| The grips on P239 were very slippery. Talons made a world of difference and with little increase in grip size.

| I have Talons on some of my and my girlfriends pistols and my Tavor. We like them. If they start to peel, heat them with a hairdryer and press them back on. |

| Put a set on a S&W Shield. Made a heck of a difference. Now I buy their sheet rubber material and put strips on the smooth front and back straps of my pistols to improve the grip. |

Right. I like the full wrap Talon rubber on small guns, but it made my Plastic M&P feel bulky. I wonder if I can get most of it off, leaving a strip down the front strap, maybe the back. |

| Hmmm.. I wonder how they would work to replace the rubber on cordless tools when they start peeling?

That's an expensive fix. Most of what you're paying for for Talon grips are the custom cut for a given firearm and for their repuation. I was thinking about trying CatTongue grips for powertools, handtools, handguns, sporting goods, whatever. https://cattonguegrips.com |

Bingo. I've shot a few guns with Talon grip tape on them. To me, it's not rough or gritty enough. Skateboard tape wears off too quickly. 3M No-skid tape. Home Depot, about $12 a roll, and there's more than enough for your guns, your friends guns and possibly a neighbor ps gun too. Only downside is you have to do the cutting.

| I've used Talons for years, along with Traction Grips too. The sandpaper style grips are great for grip ability, but very abrasive for concealed carry against your body. I wish there was a happy medium between sand paper and rubberized grips.

Look at the actual Talon site, rather than some of their online retailers. The "PRO" models have a granulated rubber that's grippier than the rubberized grips but less abrasive than the "sand paper". I've got Talon rubberized models on at least half a dozen pistols and recently put the PRO type on an HK USP40 Tactical; I find it a very happy medium. |
