Talon Grips

I have ordered 2 sets on the 7th and 8th. Haven't received them but I have spoken to a Talon rep who said it was a materials issue. They ran out of material and was getting it in and then had to catch up on all the orders.

I am anxious but it in no way affects me shooting my gun:)

Be patient as good as the Talons are it reminds me that good things take time and based on orders I would have to believe the Talon Grips have gripped (lol) gun owners around the country.
 
They are selling like Hot Cakes, and they are raising the Prices. My Granulated were 10.99 on 4-27 (received 4-30). The grips are now $14 or $15 dollars. Business was BOOMING for them, and it's a nice product.

They really fit the Shield beautifully.

OMG Relax guys. Maybe the poor man's in the Hospital or has a family emergency. He's always been top notch. I have got quite a few grips off of him and this is not the norm..

If the business is still accepting and processing payment, someone should be responding.

Same here, he has always been a top notch guy. Sometimes life throws you a curve ball. He may be sick or have an issue with one of his kids. That for me would put everything else on the back burner. Kids come first!

Understood and I agree, if there is some sort of family emergency then that trumps all. Would in house.

As an aside, if you want to relate your past positive experience with the company then that is appreciated and comforting BUT I do not appreciate your "OMG Relax guys" comment. That you can keep to yourself...
 
Talon site says shipping and emails have begun again after restocking. They ran out of materials due to the DEMAND.
 
This doesn't sound good. Wonder if Hickok45 knows what's up, he's pretty tight with them. Sure hope this ends up well :(

Such a Shame, the company had a good product, I hope it can continue on with somebody.

Indeed. I'm looking for an email from them outlining my options for my pending order placed on 5/9. I'm willing to wait for my grips if the company can re-group and continue to provide the same quality product...
 
Order placed 5/7, no email here yet either.

FWIW, the person who posted the death announcement had a pot leaf for a profile picture so I'm not 100% sure of the reliability of the claim. I would think a spokesperson for the company may have chosen something a bit different?
 
Yep, I saw that too. Info posted on Face Space has to be taken with a grain of salt, IMO...
 
I noticed that as well, but something is wrong as per the announcement on their web page. All we can do is wait and see.
 
Hope that everything will work out for them. They have a really good product (I have the rubberized grips for my Shield)and excellent customer service.:)

From Hickok himself on Glock Talk website:

I've had considerable communication with Derik in recent months and weeks about grips for the Shield and such. My last text from him was on May 11th and things seemed fine.

He's always responsive to texts and calls, so I fear for the "worst," too. I've not gotten any response from his cell number, either text or voice, so I just don't know yet what's going on either. I'm deeply saddened by this, as I've been very impressed by what a great guy he is.

Out of curiousity, I let my techie side take the lead last night and did some research on Talon grips.

Talon's web site is registered through GoDaddy by proxy so there wasn't a lot of good info. I then checked further and was able to find their business license... and Derik's full name. I researched further and found other info on him too. Since this sort of research quickly borders on an invasion of privacy, I backed off and checked the local newspapers in his area. No recent news reports listing his name and no obituaries. If what was posted is true, I suspect something should hit the local papers in his area in the next few days...

In reading some of the recent posts on Talon's FB site, however, it seems that some of the natives are getting quite restless over their $15. :rolleyes: Sad to see people who seem to act like their $15 is more important than a man's life... :(
 
If Hickok can't get in touch with the owner, I'm worried it could be as bad as we've heard, but I'll hold out hope until something or someone has some hard facts.
 
My prayers and thoughts go out to Derek and family. It sounds bad, but hoping for great news such as a major server crash, materials issue, or something like that (much better than human demise...). I was fortunate to get the rubberized grips for my Shield around April 20th, and absolutely love them. A great product.
