I truly believe that a consistent grip equals consistent shots and in my 20 years as a Navy SEAL instructor, I've found that improving a shooters grip is the easiest way to create dramatic results in your shooting. Talon grips are the best way that I've found to create an instant bond between you and your gun to achieve instant results.

I think the first time I saw the Talon Gun Grip was at an IDPA match, and one or two guys had them on their Glocks. I compared the feel of one to my Glock 34 with no enhancement to the grip, and that was it – I went home and ordered a Talon Grip that same day! Since then, I have ordered dozens more for all types and brands of pistols – even one of my Kimber 1911’s wears a Talon front strap.
Just about every polymer framed gun I have gets a Talon Grip immediately – either the traditional granulate or rubberized, depending on how I plan to use the pistol. Easy to install and very long-lasting, I think the Talon Grip is one of the most practical and economical performance enhancements that can be made to a handgun. Buying a Talon for my new gun is as automatic as buying ammo for it!
Hickok45
Hickok45 is a legendary figure in the firearms and shooting community, renowned for his unparalleled expertise, captivating presence, and commitment to responsible gun ownership. With a passion for educating and entertaining, he has become an icon on YouTube, where his informative and engaging videos have garnered millions of followers.
Hickok45 was first introduced to TALON Grips by Derik Losinger, founder of TALON Grips, in 2009. TALON Grips first appeared in a Hickok45 video titled, "Glock 27 at 230 yards" released on July 24, 2009, where he hits a gong multiple times with a Baby Glock at 230 yards. He does give a quick endorsement of TALON Grips at about 4:20 (see here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmMEg4y54Dk&t=260s). Since then, we have seen Hickok45 referenced on orders every single day. Hickok45 has been a friend of TALON for more than a decade and we have enjoyed our friendship ever since.
