Talons installed on my Shield 👍

[TheFactor]

Just installed the Talon grips last night on my M&P shield 9, this was my first time and I have to say I'm impressed. I ordered the Granuated grip and it reminds me of that non-slip material for a skateboard. It's about .5mm thick and doesnt add any thickness to the grip, but it does drastically improve the grip & control of the pistol. I followed the directions & used the alcohol wipes to clean off the pistol & magazine, gave it a test fit first and slowly applied the grip. Pressed it firmly in place paying close attention to the outsides edges and grabbed my wife's hairdryer I gave it a once over a few times and pressed it down some more, working on the edges, before proceding on to the pistol itself. Same deal, gave it a test fit first before peeling off the backing and started with the front finishing off by aligning the rear tabs, pressing it down & heating it up with the hairdryer and pressing it down, the edges too. The cut of the material fits the grip of the pistol exactally & precisely. What I did first was to align the circle of the material to the M&P logo and then work along the edge making sure everything was lined up before pressing down & heating... The directions say that if its too coarse then you can lightly sand it down with 120 grit sandpaper, but I think its just fine... I went ahead & ordered another one for my M&P 380...

Great to hear and glad your liking them

I'm from Florida also. I have talons on my FS M&P 9 and my biggest gripe with them is they tend to peel off due to heat. I had to make a stop on the way home from the range one day and when I got back home the talon grips had nearly come all the way off. They do have good customer service and sent me replacement grips free of charge the first time I ordered from them because I was have issues with the grip sticking to the gun I was putting it on.

Yes they have excellent CS . I've never had a Talon come off ever .

Mine showed up in the mail, now I just have to get up the nerve to install them.
I've watched the video and it doesn't look too bad.

You'll be fine and just take your time . It's actually fun and I enjoy it ! Don't worry there's been a time or two were I had to lift it off a little here and there and they worked great . Just don't try to remove them after they setup to re-adjust .

I've got the granular set on my M&PFS9, gives the gun a much improved grip, and I think they add to the appearance.....I duracoated mine prior to installing them, and it's holding up well, 400 rounds or so...

Excellent color contrast. Really makes the "T" in Talon stand out. Nothing like a few changes to make a gun your own.

Nice job.
