Talon DIY Material Grip Sheet - 5"x7" Adhesive Grip - Rubber or Granulate - Made in The USA

Cut your shape, clean the surface, & stick it down. Easy to apply, sticks where you put it,& holds up well.

It adds the perfect amount of aggressive texture on my carry gun. Easy to cut and put on, no slippage.

Worked for what I needed

At first I wasn’t too impressed with the grip. It just didn’t seem like much improvement. But after putting it on, I really do like the way it feels. I have the rubber texture. A tip for people who buy the blank sheet and want to know how to cut it to fit your grip. What I did was use painters tape. I put it on and cut it as I applied it. So any contours, edges etc we’re done as I applied it to the grip. Many times having to pull the tape back a little to trim a section. I wrapped the entire grip all the way around. I used two layers of tape to give it strength. Once it was exactly how I wanted it, I VERY carefully took a sharp hobby razor and cut the tape down the seam of the side of the backstrap. Making sure the blade didn’t touch the grip. Then I pulled the tape off carefully keeping it in one piece. Then I just placed in on the backside of the sheet of grip material and cut the shape out with the hobby knife. Make sure it’s sharp. I added some extra length to both sides. For some reason it needs that. If I didn’t add a little on each side the two end pieces wouldn’t have been able to reach each other. Cutting it along the side seam of the backstrap on the frame kept the seam of the grip invisible.Make sure and clean your grip before adhesion and use a hair dryer to heat it up for best results. I did three heat cycles of heating and cooling. I’m very pleased with the feel of it. I’ve been wanting to stipple the grip but just can’t bring myself to actually do it. Even though I’ve practiced it quite a bit and like the results. Maybe someday I’ll do it but until then the talon grip seems to be a good alternative to permanent mods like stippling. Only thing I’m unsure of is how long it will stay on. Time will tell I suppose.

It came the day after it was ordered and the instal was way easier than expected, also feels great in the hands and stuck super well so far

I rarely write a review but had to in this case! I just got the Talon Grip Material in this morning via UPS. It comes in a 5" X 7" sheet which is plenty big. I was originally looking for a Hogue type grip for my CZ Scorpion as I have them on all my ARs. I love the tactile grip and sticky feeling VS a hard plastic grip. I couldn't find one for the Scorpion. So I bought the Pakse Pathfinder grip from HB Industries as it had the correct angle... Thought for this review it wouldn't matter what grip you had.First, I created a pattern using painters tape. Looking at how custom grip material was applied to other weapons I have, I knew I was going to overlap the material on the finish... So I cut it a little longer than I needed. I removed the tape and traced my pattern in reverse on the back of the Talon material. It's white paper so it is easy to trace. I used a pair of sharp scissors for most but also used an exacto knife for some of the round inside corners. Since the grip is 3D and the paper is 2D... An exact tracing probably won't be possible. You need to remember that this stuff bends and stretches a little as needed when applied... And you will be able to trim to fit while you are applying it if you are careful and have a sharp exacto knife handy.I cleaned the grip per instructions with isopropyl alcohol. I wiped it down well and got out the hair dryer to make sure everything evaporated. I lined up the grip material and slowly applied, peeling back the paper as I went. I needed to trim a few spots where I was off on the pattern. It was VERY easy to work. I slowly worked it around, pulling and trimming as needed for a perfect fit. Once wrapped completely around and overlapped where I started... I broke out the hair dryer and heated it all up. I did this several times, allowing it to cool in between. I pressed down EVERYWHERE! It molded exactly to the grip as I wanted.The grip now feels almost as good as a Hogue. I was also left with a piece large enough to add some tactile strips to the front of my HB Industries Pakse Sapper MLOK front grip. Two small strips on either side on the bottom. WOW! This is SO much better than stock! Picking up the gun and shouldering it now feels much more comfortable and tactile.Hope this helps someone make a choice!
