Talon Grips in Hawaii
« on: June 06, 2018, 01:04:45 PM »
Anyone running these?  And which one, rubber or sand paper?

The reviews that I've read/watched mentioned that when their climate gets warm (mainland), the grips tend to move.  So wondering if anyone here has them and their feedback.

I love the grip on the CZP10C, but don't want to stipple my VP9.  Cant undo it.  So I was gonna go with the sand paper talons.

I have Arachnigrip on my slide for about 2 years now and no slipping issues or anything. Just it's getting a little worn down.

My palms sweat easily, about 3rd round in and I notice the VP9 moving slightly.  With the texture on the P10, no movement at all.

I use them on my compacts and subcompacts. Smaller grip surfaces need more friction for control IMO.

I tried both kinds, and really like the rubberized over the "skateboard tape".

With better friction, you don't have to grip the pistol so tight. That helps with accuracy, avoiding all that tension in your arms and hands.

If you watch Hickok45, he puts Talon grips on all the pistols he carries and routinely shoots.

I've been using the rubber ones on all of my semi-auto handguns for years.  I carry my G19 IWB every day and have never had an issue with the adhesive coming off.  It has however come loose when my guns were left out in the sun during a class but it still sticks.

It is equally useful in securing meat for the table, destroying group enemies on the battlefield, and resisting tyranny. In fact, it is the only means of resisting tyranny, since a citizenry armed with rifles simply cannot be tyrannized."

I got the rubber ones on my g19 and my hands sweat quite a bit and I lose a little grip.  That said ima get mine stippled.  The sandpaper was pretty harsh when I carry at home, my p320 that got stippled locally is currently my carry until the 19 gets worked on.  If you dont carry the vp9 I'd go sandpaper for sweaty hands

I ordered the granulate ones today.  Many did report that the texture was to rough, but so did many for the CZP10 grips and I love it.  So sandpaper might be the right feel for me.

If it does end up being to rough, I can always sand down the sand paper.  But I think my hands are a little rougher than the normal person because of the gym.
