2nd review, 2nd purchase.

I added these to a Gen 5 G17 and loved them so I did the same with a Gen 5 G19, Both with the med. back-strap added and the combination is awesome. Both got rubber which is great functionally and easy on the skin when carried. For hardcore training and/or with excessively sweaty/wet hands, the granulate grips may be better, but not for carry where they may be near your body. I think you'll find LE using granulate more because it's more appropriate, including for carry method. For civilian use, carry, lack of excessive "grabbing" of clothing, and training I find the rubber are a huge improvement without any sacrifice of comfort.

I was able to carefully install using a hair dryer, pressing edges out smooth and into the stippling of the grips themselves so they just kind of blend almost as if they're not an add-on. Each generation of Glock has their fans as far as grips and texture, but for the Gen 5 which has some great improvements and features, while the grip texture is comfortable, I find it takes some focus away once your hands start to get sweaty. The Talon grips are a great remedy.

As an armed guard, I have 2 x G17 duty weapons. One I use in my duty holster, the other for CCW when not in uniform.
I followed the instructions exactly, and I would suspect that is important. I wouldn't want it to come off or fail in a critical situation.
I'm starting to become a fan of the more sandpapery style. I tried it on one of my 17s and also on my 26. I found out that it really helped hold the grip on the 26 which has such a small area for my hand to grip. It was so good, I got one for one of my 17s. Is the sandpaper rougher: of course. Does it make a huge difference when my hands are wet or bloody or oily: yes.
I will be switching out the rubber texture and changing to the sandpaper on my second 17 as soon as it comes in the mail because I find that on hot summer days or cold rainy days, the rubber texture just isn't enough. I've had it slip in my hands, which is why I bought them to begin with. If I'm going to carry this as a duty weapon, I need to be prepared for all scenarios and weather conditions, not just some of them. We get plenty of rain in the winter and 110+°F weather in the summer time where I live, so dropping or letting the gun slip just isn't an option in a Duty Carry situation. I have not had any trouble with these coming off or moving or anything else related to the hot or cold weather or the degradation of the product. I've been using them for over a year now.
Another reviewer mentioned he does not like the sandpaper in CCW. My opinion: of it works better, who cares about sand grit. It's about having it work when you need it. I want peace of mind knowing I've prepared the best I can. I don't place import on anything else but safety. I don't feel it anyway unless my shirt rides up and my arm drags across it. Pretty rare.

Basically the best grips in the industry!

As stated by many, these make an awesome upgrade to any handgun and especially the Glock regardless of what Gen you have. The rubber texture Talon grips add just the right amount of comfortable, soft surface friction for a stable grip and are way more comfortable and stable then the original OEM texturing on the Gen 4. I have used the more aggressive Talon grips for my competition gun and for that purpose the more aggressive texture works excellent but is too abrasive for an EDC (imo) and they are not as ergo-comfortable on your hands. The rubber texture just feels awesome and looks super great too. Like I read in other comments - its true - once you install the rubber texture grips they actually look like an OEM mod and are an excellent (and inexpensive) Glock upgrade that's a must!

Make sure you apply light (hairdryer) heat when installing as indicated in the instructions and the grips will seemingly mold right into the surface of the gun. Went over with heat 3 times on all my installations while pressing the material into the surface of the gun (slowly working it down and to the ends - pressing it flat to the surface) and they came out 100% perfect!

Great product and plan to add these on just about any gun I get in the future.

OK. I meticulously followed the installation directions. I scrubbed the entire grip with rubbing alcohol and a toothbrush. Not once, but THREE times! I attached the grips and heated (with a hair dryer) and pressed. Heated and pressed several times. I made sure the temp was hot enough, but not too hot. I made sure ALL edges were firmly attached. I went to the range and fired 300 rounds. Got home and noticed the section covering the backstrap shifted to the right over 1/8 inch and bunched up. So I would have to say these failed to perform.

I'm quickly becoming a huge fan of Talon Grips. I originally installed the rubber textured grips, which have a really comfortable feel. However, I did end up removing them and replacing them with the granulate textured grips. For me, I found the rubber texture to be slippery in certain conditions, and getting a consistent high grip was very challenging. I switched to the granulate grips and got much better groups at my action pistol event this week. My hands get a little chewed up from the texture, but that gun doesn't move unless I want it to, which is exactly what I was looking for!

You can supposedly sand them down if you want to reduce the "sand paper" feel, but from what I understand, that will happen naturally over time as well. I wouldn't necessarily call the sand paper feel "comfortable," but for me it works better to ensure a consistent grip. With that said, I have noticed the granulate catching on my sleeve and shirt while in the holster. I had to roll my sleeves up at the firing line so they wouldn't get in the way. I wouldn't put these on a concealed carry gun, but for the competition shooting I'm doing, I am very happy with them.
