    carry option for the vehicle

    I prefer to never leave my gun behind, unattended. If I stopped for gas and ran inside to pick up something, or to use the restroom, I would not want my handgun left behind unattended. I always want mine on my person at all times. You cannot plan when you will need it.

    Grip ID

    Talo edition?

    another comment on talo grips-I heard they were made for Talo by Altamont and the grips are not sold by Talo, S&W or Altamont to the general public. The bay bid site usually has a pair someone is selling.
