God bless you for taking time to show a basic application of the Talon rubber grips. I’m sure a ton of folks will appreciate what did to help them. Just my opinion….I’ve been installing the Talon since they were introduced to the market and have installed over 40 sets as a courtesy free of charge for Family, friends, friends of friends and the word just got out so I can honestly say I’m very good at it…..not the best but I’m sure among them. Tips: 1. Don’t just use the alcohol pad in the kit because it is not enough to throughly clean the oils (gun, skin, shipping and other dirt’s). Get cotton makeup remover rounds and 70% isopropyl alcohol and throughly clean the grip (it’s very important for a truly proper application). 2. Install an empty magazine to help when applying pressure to close the gaps and get the best lay down of the Talon material when you perform the wrap around underlayment. 3. Do use a hair dryer to heat the material until it become workable with your fingers, (be patient, be very careful cause the surface will be very hot! So take your time and just slowly work your way around the grip). This is very important for seaming the the overlay as flat as it can be and for closing the gaps on the back strap. 4. Allow the lower to cool naturally for at least an hour before removing the magazine to prevent any possible errors. That’s it….you’re done! The grip will look like there natural to the gun and they will perform well for years under EDC use. Thank you again for taking your time to share with others. We all appreciate what you are doing. God bless you. Keep up the good work!
Thabks for the video bro. Helped me out big time. No flashy dumb crap. Straight to the point. I was going to cut mine too then I realized my scissors were across the house and I didn’t feel like getting them. Yolo. Appreciate the help!
SDW you should it’s a cheap way to enhance the grip and I’m loving it. I chose the rubberized vs granulated because I carry it and live in Texas 🔥🔥so I don’t wear under shirts often too hot and I didn’t want the rough grip version rubbing against my skin. I am about to take this gun to get cerakoted so I’ll actually have to buy a new set of talon grips for it after
TheRussLee bro that is awesome. That is the route I was wanting to go as well. Just wasn’t sure of the effect since ive never used rubberized talon grips before. But from what u r saying, I am liking it a lot. I actually just watched a video of a guy putting one on his 43x just now on youtube. This is the route I will go. That enhanced grip feel has to be awesome. And I am not big on the granulated plastic feel. Idk my hands just don’t grip it. I took a rd trip last month to Texas man! Carrollton Texas. Been thinking about moving there...
TheRussLee LOL man it is looking like that is the direction I am headed. Sounds like u r more west Texas then? I love a place that sees very little snow so Texas I would think is right up my ally. Man I saw these cerakote G43x slides on gunbroker. They are ported. Im not sure how I feel about them but they look very very sharp. How do u feel about a ported slide on a edc like the 43x?
Why did you butcher the grip? It installs perfectly if you start dead center in the back of the grip and work you're way one side at a time. Why you would want all those seams is beyond me.
Looks great. So the rubberized version is less abrasive but yet still gives grip enhancement when sweating or wet? I read you live in a very hot part of the State of Texas. Also I wanted to know whether or not these grips are easy to remove after a month, 6 months, a year or two? In case I decide later to go another route.
I have put on so many pairs of these things since they sponsored a few videos and sent me dozens of grips and plus I don't use them exactly as instructed sometimes that's why
@@TheRussLee It’s just that you’re offering an instructional video. You might want to mention there are instructions inside, even if you personally don’t need them.

Great advice and information. Thanks for the time and comment, much appreciated.
Supposed to run heat on the grip after install via hairdryer.
Me: let's do a talon grip video and see how grippy these grips are!
Me: 7:21 later
Lol
Just threw some on my 43x and 17 Gen 5. Appreciate the video bro

Not a problem at all.
Appreciate the view and comment 🙏
My bad. Thought I subbed as well. We’re good now haha.
@@850OVERLAND I really appreciate that Joe thank you 🙏
Man this is exactly what I was thinking about doing when I get my 43x. Thanks for this video man. How are u liking the grip??

SDW well shit man come on down. Texas is a great place. Big and hot though lol. I’m down in Corpus Christi, TX south of San Antonio

SDW no I’m very south Texas right on gulf. I have no issues with ported slide, my Glock 19 is ported and I carry it also from time to time

It feels and looks just fine to me. Besides it’s not a beauty contest to begin with it’s all about functionality

Yes they are great still. They are better then the rough ones in my opinion
Thanks for the vid chief , I’m looking into slapping one of these on my 43x
Awesome and no problem. Thanks for watching
I'm interested in getting one for my 43x, but I'm worried that I might not like it. Does it come off easily?
Super easy
@@TheRussLee okay, that's good to know
@@Crazy_Crusaderr yes sir no issues at all
Thx … waiting on my Taylon Pro tape for my G48 MOS now , as we speak …can’t wait
I can't wait till I get talon grips for my glock43x and night sights
Will be a nice addition for sure
I appreciate the video it helped me a lot when I got my rubber texture talon grips the feel awesome on my glock 43x
@@codyjenn8785 You are very welcome , sorry about my hands getting in the way often I was so new to filming stuff
I prefer the granulated grips.
I need to get a set of those again and try them out.
How long did the adhesives hold?
Still going strong now
@@TheRussLee thanks bro..will be installing the granulate variant on my G43x, cheers from Philippines
@@pistolerongpinoy4893 Awesome 👏 Thank you 🙏
It’s easier with the slide on
You cut it! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yup works better for me personally but you don't need to do so
Camera unfocused
You threw away the instructions, which are inside the envelope that you never opened.
I have put on so many pairs of these things since they sponsored a few videos and sent me dozens of grips and plus I don't use them exactly as instructed sometimes that's why
