Talon Grip for M&P Shield 45

<span>Now all my pistols have Talon grips. My EDC needed a touch up with the hot gun yet is still in good shape. Now the cost should be about 5 dollars less in my opinion. The Handilet grips are just as good for less.</span>

<span>First, the bad: The picture on the KeepShooting page shows a 9mm but I received grips for the 45acp. Also, the grips that came were the coarse texture when I wanted rubber. Why are there no drop down lists where you could specify what you want when you order?? Obviously I returned the grips through KeepShooting's no hassle process.<br>Now the good: I reordered directly from the Talon website where I could be sure of what I was ordering. Shipping was still free via U.S. mail, just took a couple of days longer. The grips are much more comfortable than the sandpaper texture on the frame of the Shield 2.0 They are still plenty grippy but don't feel at all irritating. They did not add any bulk to the frame whatsoever - well, half a millimeter is almost nothing! It was not hard to install the grips but you need to do it slowly and carefully. Follow the excellent directions that come with the grips. It took me maybe 10 minutes to do. When first lining them up they seem like they might be just a little too big but do not trim them. I thought I might have a little gap in the backstrap but when I heated the grips, I was able to flatten them out. I think they came out perfect. Just take your time. I am very happy with my decision to get these grips.</span>

<span>I asked before I purchased, I was told it would fit. Turns out I had to use an exacto blade to cut it in different places. Also, had to use a heat gun bcs the M&P Shield M2 has a sandy like texture and wouldn't attach. Just hope it will last.</span>

<span>Competitors’ stick-on grips can be purchased for less than half the price of Talon’s and are just as good. I’ll stick to Traction Grips and other lower-cost brands available on KeepShooting.</span>

<span>Love this add on</span>

<span>The grip and feeling of control it adds, is outstanding.<br>My S&W M&P Shield comes with an excessively abrasive handle texture. It made conceal carry quit uncomfortable. These feups eliminated that discomfort completely.</span>

<span>I bought my second set direct, which got lost in the mail. I contacted them, and within one day they were ready to ship a replacement and split the 2 day shipping with me. Worth buying direct, great product.</span>

<span>Great product easy to install. Have 4 m&ps and have talon grips on all.</span>

<span>These grips are great on my new shield PC .45<br>As the original grips are extremely sand paper type finish these....well...are great, comfortable,and still grippy .</span>

<span>Great product. Wasn't hard to install. Makes for a much better grip on my S&W M&P Shield 45.</span>

<span>These grips worked great and are very comfortable. Easy to follow instructions. Recommend.</span>

<span>I was very intimidated by this product, because I'm absolutely terrible at applying stickers correctly the first time. However, because of the way the adhesive works on this, you can lightly place the grip on and pull up and restick as many times as you need to get it right.<br><br>Following the advice of some YouTube videos I saw, I used a toothbrush to go over the stock grip first to ensure there wasn't any skin or anything stuck in the stock grips.<br><br>Took me a good 15 minutes to get it perfect, and I think it looks great. I used a heat gun instead of a hair dryer (I don't have enough hair to justify owning one) and carefully set the temp to 115F to ensure I didn't go over the 130F max they specify in the directions.<br><br>Definitely significantly nicer to carry now, and my girlfriend no longer complains about her hands hurting when we go to the range anymore.</span>

<span>S&W Shield 45 acp-2.0<br>Nothing to dislike. Easy to install, took 5 minutes.<br>Hair dryer locks it on and smoothes edges. It'll overlap a tiny bit on the front under the triggerguard, don't trim it. The hairdryer will "melt it on" and you won't be able to see or feel it. (See photos) rubber Talons grip every bit as well as the stock grip texture without the bloody rash on my love handles.</span>

<span>Grips did not fit completely. Had gaps that could not be closed.</span>

<span>The first thing I do when I purchase a new gun is put Talon Grips on it. They're easy to install, look great, and most importantly they tone down the aggressive grip texture on most polymer hand guns, without sacrificing the ability to firmly and confidently grip while shooting.</span>

<span>love this! makes CC much nicer</span>

<span>Pretty easy install , feels way better than stock grip happy with my purchase</span>

<span>Feels so much better on the love handles</span>

<span>Have them on a few of my Pistols.<br>Easy to put on ..good product.!</span>

<span>Great</span>

<span>Fit perfect, and solves the problem of the sandpaper-like grip against your skin</span>

<span>Follow instructions can't go wrong.</span>

<span>Awesome fit exactly as described in the post.</span>

<span>Perfect fit on my Shield 45. Gives me a better grip due to the handguns slim nature.</span>

<span>When I first purchased this I was scared to mess them up, but after watching a short youtube video I was able to put them on with no problem! It fits great and I dont feel the harsh grip rubbing against my side.</span>

<span>if you carry a shield 45 or any of the new m2.0 Smith &! Wesson firearms, you know the grips are extremely aggressive, unless you have the skin of an alligator you will rub yourself raw in a days worth of carrying. these grips eliminate that rubbing while barely adding any extra thickness or permanently modifying your firearm by sanding the grips down just incase you decide to sell it at a later date.</span>

<span>Oh yeah.... that hits the spot. Love my Shield but that sandpaper-like grip against these soft love handles in the hot weather was too much to bear. Feels about the same grippiness (is that a word?) but much easier for those of us concealing in this hot weather.<br><br>Instructions were very clear. Application took maybe 10 minutes after reviewing the instructions and dry-running the process. I peeled the backing off a section at a time leaving the backstrap portion for the last. Hit it all with a hair dryer and focused on the edges. Looks and feels like a integral part of the gun.</span>

<span>Great grips. My Shield Performance Center .45 has some pretty abrasive grips which make carry a real pain. These solve the problem. Easy to install and feels MUCH better.</span>

<span>Awesome product, I prefer the rubberized texture, bought them to get rid of that sandpaper feeling rubbing against my stomach for carry!</span>

<span>Great product. Easy application. Really helped with the carry-ability now that the sandpaper stippling is covered.</span>
