In this review, I’ll share my experience with the Talon Grips Adhesive Grip, specifically designed for Glock 17/22/31/37 Gen 4 pistols.
Unpacking and Installation
Upon receipt, I was impressed with the packaging. The product arrived in a compact, tongue-and-groove plastic case, complete with a clear plastic window to showcase the product. Inside, I found the adhesive grip itself, a paper guide, and a small cloth for cleaning. Installation was a breeze; I simply applied the adhesive backing, aligned the grip with my Glock 17, and pressed firmly for 30 seconds. The grip adhered perfectly, leaving no residue or residue to remove.
Performance
Performance-wise, I was blown away by the Talon Grips Adhesive Grip. The grip provided an unwavering hold, even in quickly changing shooting situations. The textured surface, combined with the adaptive material, allowed me to maintain a secure grip even with gloved hands or in humid environments. I experienced:
• Agile control: The grip’s aggressive texture provided pinpoint control, allowing me to make precise adjustments mid-shot.
• Reduced recoil: The slightly thickened surface absorbed some of the recoil’s kinetic energy, making the shooting experience smoother.
• Improved accuracy: With the Talon Grip, I noticed a significant increase in accuracy at longer ranges (25+ yards).
Ergonomics and Comfort
The Talon Grips Adhesive Grip substantially improved the overall ergonomics of my Glock 17. The slightly contoured shape fit snugly, inviting my hand to rest comfortably on the grip. This design choice also allowed for a more natural, intuitive hold, reducing fatigue during extended shooting sessions.
Durability and Maintenance
After extensive testing, I was pleased to find the Talon Grips Adhesive Grip stood up to the rigors of regular use. Upon disassembly and reassembly, I experienced no peeling or separation, indicating a strong bond between the grip and the pistol. Cleaning the grip with a soft cloth and mild soap solution proved effortless.
Cons and Drawbacks
• Peeling: While the grip adhered flawlessly initially, I did notice some minor peeling over time. However, this might be attributed to normal wear and tear or possibly user error.
• Over-tightening: Be cautious not to overtighten the grip, as this may cause potential damage to the pistol or the grip itself.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Talon Grips Adhesive Grip is an excellent choice for those seeking to upgrade their Glock 17/22/31/37 Gen 4 pistol.
