Talon Grips

Just placed an order for the "Granulate" Talon grip for my Beretta Nano but I see they also have a "Rubber" version as well. Does anyone have experience with the "Rubber" version? If so, what is the difference? Preference? I figured the granulate would have a sand paper-ish feel to it and will work well with my sometimes sweaty hands. I was worried the Rubber would only exacerbate the sweat problem.

I recently traded for a G30 that has the rubber talon grips, and I must say I love them. The rubber isn't too gritty, nor is it grippy to catch clothing. It's squishy enough to get a fantastic grip, but not squishy enough to be called squishy. I guess.... It kinda feels like soft rhino lining with a bit more grip. I dunno how to explain it, but with my sweaty palms it feels perfect.

How thick is the grip? You EDC it? I have a 30SF I might would do that with.

Thanks guys. I see Hickok45 on youtube has been praising these grips for quite a while now. He says he prefers the granulate, but was impressed with the new rubber style as well. Love his videos. :cheers2:

I just put the "rubber" Talon Grips on my CM9 this morning. I didn't measure the thickness before I applied but from my post install measurements it's only about .015"-.020". I haven't got to shoot it yet but it feels better in my hand.

i traded snatchel the glock 30 for a 26 and i liked the grip so much that i ordered two more. one for the 26 and my other g30. I contacted talon grips about the difference between the two, they reccommended the rubber for concealed carry since it'll be less abrasive to the skin.

What he said..

To answer the question on the thickness... it is not noticeable.
