I just recently purchased the Talon Grip for my G19.4. I had a conversation with one of the fellas that works there and suggested the rubber grip. He said in his opinion that they were all around better than the skateboard tape styled due to the fact a lot of officers mentioned that the grit tape would overtime eat through any type of fabric that it came to. Also, the rubber wouldn't ride and catch your shirt as much. Has anyone had any experiences with the rubber talon grips?
I hope i made the right choice with choosing the rubber. My dad always told me to use rubbers when in doubt...

I have both versions on various models. I like both.

For carry I prefer rubber but for shooting I prefer the sandpaper type. I like the Traction Grips rubber style I recently got for my G43 pretty well, half the price and they seem about the same as my Talon rubber version grip tape.

I've got Talon rubber grips on my G19, G43, and G42, and love them. I have no experience with the sandpaper grips, but I highly recommend the rubber.

Any of the sandpaper type grips will suck for a carry gun. It is hard on clothing and harder on skin. The first USPSA match I shot with grip tape on my gun, my forearm was raw by the end of the day from brushing against the grip as I walked around the range.

Ouch. sounds like a made a wise choice of going with the rubber instead or sand! |

Do the talon grips peel off much over time?

I love the grit grips the best, however I now use the rubber one on my g19 for carry. I switched for carry because the grit would sometimes catch on clothing and ride up, leaving me unaware of an obvious gun under my shirt. I didn't notice the grit against my skin though, like some people worry about.

The guy at Talon said that using 120 grit sandpaper lightly on the skateboard tape grip would help smooth it down some to cause less shirt grabbing and less coarse. I was just a little hesitant at first about the rubber, because I wondered if it was really tacky and would allow any and everything to cling to it. such as lint, dirt, sand, clothing, etc. The grip will be here next week. |

The rubber is not tacky at all, yet it provides good traction and enables a better purchase for me than stock.

I have Talon rubber grips on every gun that I carry. You really appreciate them after a day of shooting outdoors in 100+ heat.

I've got the granulated (sandpaper) version of the Talon grip. I don't carry and I wanted a more aggressive grip than the rubber version. Only had it a few months now so time will till how it holds up.

I sure hope they work as well for me as they seem to do for others!

Is there much of a difference between Talon grips and Traction grips? Is one superior to the other?

Not sure on any differences.
Ended up stippling them all.
