What are your thoughts on talon Grips for 9mm Shield. I will be using it on my CC. Would you recommend them? Do they add any bulk? Leaning towards rubber but what about the granulate?

You will absolutely love them.....****n Talons on all my guns..(rubberized not the gritty ones).

I have the rubber talons on my XDS. Adds no bulk and work great! I use the granulated on my competition guns. I wouldn't recommend it for cc.

I've installed rubber Talon Grips on all my M&P's (and Glocks).

Friends with rougher hands tend to choose the granulate version. But for the Shield, as it's a CC gun, you'll probably want the rubber instead.

I have the rubber ones on my Shield 9. They're easy to install, add no bulk, and provide all the grippiness I need. In other words, they're perfect for me. I definitely recommend them.

Best grips I have ever used. Have the rubberized on all my hand guns. You cannot go wrong with this product.

Need another little push to get 'em. I've got them on all my cc guns (Sig and Shield) and they're great. My full size pistols get VZ G-10s and putting them on a Beretta 92FS was like getting a new (thin) gun.

Get 'em....at $17 they are not budget busters.

All of my handguns wear Talon rubber grips, and of all them, the Shield benefits the most from the Talons. With the really slim grip, the Talons offer a really good purchase.

I have installed the Rubber talon grips on 4 pistols (3 glocks,1 Shield). Just remember, you will have no problems if you clean, heat install ,heat Done.

I Love the rubber ones on my Shield!

I have them on all of my handguns but on my shield I added a pachmyr sleeve. I have fairly big mitts and even with the Talon rubber on there it was too thin.
Now?....perfect
my shield and my XDM 3.8C .45 ....

My 9C is stippled (bought it like that used), but if it wasn't I'd have them on there (I have them on the
Xgrip I use with the full size mag)

I'm thinking about putting a set of Talon grips on my new PC Shield 9mm. (Haven't shot it yet). But I'm a little concerned that it may add to much to the size. I tried a pachmayr slip-on grip on my LC9S and didn't like the increased in size it made.
Do the Talon grips seem to add that much in size?

thanks, Dale

I cut my rubber Talon grips to the grip's contours.

I have the gritty Talons on my Shield 9, I like them.

I have Talon rubber grips on my shield and 22 compact. IMO they do not add noticeable thickness to the grip.
I had Hogue grip panels on a 1911 and when I purchased my shield it just felt "slippery" in my hand. The Talons are perfect for me. I put them on my 22 compact for the same feel.

For me, I find the Shield is easier to grip and shoot with the Talon rubber grips (also installed Talon rubber grips for the mag extensions). I really like the Shield better with Talon grips.

Just put the Grips on and I can already tell they are an improvement. Thanks for convincing me to get them

I like that idea. I also like the mag extension... what kind is it?

Have tried a few over many years, have found none better than Talon...Now all my girls wear Talon.

I tried both rubber and grit. The grit works best for me it seems.
Having said that, I have a new Shield in 45. I dont care for the original grip at all. Too aggresive for me. I installed a the rubberized talons, and they are good, but not great. When my hand is sweaty, the gun slips a bit. I bought the granulate talons, and I think i may remove the rubber and put them on. I wish they were a bit less expensive though

I have the GRIT on my 9 MM, but would switch to RUBBERIZED if I were to carry it. Grit grabs your clothes. Just shot a Shield in 45 ACP today, WOW! a great shooter and recoil less that you'd expect from a small lightweight polymer pistol. I like the MORE AGGRESSIVE STIPPLING on the stock grip of the 45 Shield.

That slide looks badass. Is that a factory thing or Duracoat or what? I love it.

agreed, that looks nice!

As to Talon, reading favorable comments here plus a few youtube install vids on the newer style laser cut pattern, I ordered one for my own Shield 9 this evening. Actually would have ordered another for my M&P 45c too but their online configurator required which backstrap size I need. Since my 45c is 1-piece grip frame without interchangeable backstraps, I opted to pass on that and just ordered for the Shield 9...

Thanks! I had my .40 slide cerakoted burnt bronze. The color changes quite drastically depending on lighting. I wanted a different color from my nickel/boron 9mm slide.

Another happy Shield 9mm owner with rubber Talon Grips.

I have a couple of those as well. I wish they would make one for the 9C

I removed the rubber talons and went with the granulate ones. Hit the range this morning, and I am completely happy with them. Solved any slipping issue I had. Perfect for me. YMMV
