Lot of variables for durability. How much you use it, exposure to weather, etc.
I had a set on my PX4 Compact and after 2 months nearly all the rubber granules had come off the front strap. They replaced it, and it's been about 2 months with the replacement grip, and I'm just now starting to see a line of wear with the granules coming off. It seems to be in a high stress area, as that's where my previous Talon Grips got worn out. I'm probably going to go back to the regular granulated grips.
Doesn't necessarily mean it's going to happen with yours, though. But probably something to keep an eye on.
Edit: If you're interested, I did a (reeeeeally) lengthy write-up here: Talon Grips Pro - Durability Update #2 - 8/30/2020

I'm a big fan of grip wrap for my polymer pistols. Used Talon for a long time.
BUT...
Check out HandleItGrips. Same material as Talon uses, but they sell for around $12 vs. $20 for Talon.
At $20 for a CNC cut piece of thin adhesive-backed rubber, Talon has pushed their pricing beyond what I consider reasonable for what they are offering.
HandleItGrips can be found on eBay and a variety of other places.

I'm not sure when you checked their pricing last, but I just bought a Handleitgrip for my Ruger P89 and it cost $15.89. And get this, they wanted $8.42 to ship it but knocked off $3.82 for a first time buyer. I'm not sure I'd buy from them again, but they were the only one offering a grip for the P89.

I wore out two sets on my Shield 1.0 and am on my third set now. I first tried the granulated type and now have their rubberized version which I like better. They have lasted well and they are a great company to deal with.

I have the Talon Pro Grips on my main carry, a Beretta PX4 storm Compact. They are excellent. However, in my opinion they don't feel much like the M&P M2.0 texturing at all. Their grippiness may be closer to an M2.0 Shield (which is not as aggressive as the larger M&P's), but it is not as grippy as my M&P9 M2.0 Subcompact. It is, however, an excellent product and a vast improvement over the original Talon Grips. Some may even prefer it as it adds a little girth to the grip.

It can't be the Pro grips because they only came out this year, April or May, I believe.
