Description
If you're running a full-size Glock and want maximum control, the granulate texture from TALON hits different. This wrap-around grip delivers that skateboard tape feel everyone talks about, but cut and fitted specifically to your gun's frame so it actually stays in place.
What Makes the Granulate Different
We're talking seriously aggressive texture here. While TALON's rubber version works for everyday carry, the granulate is purpose-built for shooters who want to lock down their grip without any slipperiness. It provides tremendous purchase even in wet or sweaty conditions, which is why it's the go-to for competition shooters and open carry setups. The tradeoff is that it's abrasive and will wear on skin and clothing if you're carrying it concealed, but plenty of people accept that for the level of control it delivers.
Coverage That Actually Works
This grip wraps the side panels all the way up past the thumb rest, covers the backstrap with solid material, and includes three finger wraps underneath the trigger guard. Every high-contact point gets texture, which is why it feels so different from factory Glock polymer. The construction is thin and tight to the frame, so you're not adding any significant bulk to the gun. There's even a cutout that leaves the Glock emblem visible on the side.
Installation and Durability
The adhesive backing sticks extremely well once applied properly, and TALON's made a name for itself by using better adhesive than it used to. Installation takes minutes if you follow the steps (proper application requires a heat source like a hair dryer or heat gun). Once cured, it won't move, and if you ever decide to change it out, it peels off without leaving residue. Just stick to standard gun cleaners and avoid aerosol solvents like CLP.
Every grip is made in the USA and designed specifically for your Glock model, so fitment is dialed in from the factory.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the granulate texture going to wear my hands or clothes?
The granulate is definitely aggressive and can be abrasive against skin or snag on clothing over time, especially during concealed carry. That's why TALON recommends it primarily for open holster carry and competition shooting where you're not carrying it against your body all day. If you want the grip security but need something less rough, TALON also offers a rubber texture that's non-abrasive.
How long do these grips last?
With proper installation including heat curing, most people report years of durability. Some competition shooters swap them out every 6 months or so from heavy use, but daily carry setups typically last much longer. The adhesive won't move once it's set, and you can remove and replace them without damaging your Glock.
Do I need heat to install the TALON grip?
Proper installation requires heat (like from a hair dryer or heat gun around 130 degrees). While you can apply it without heat, the adhesive won't fully cure and you won't get maximum longevity or performance. Heat helps the adhesive bond completely and removes air pockets, which makes a huge difference in how long the grip stays put.
Can I remove this grip without damaging my Glock?
Yes. The grip peels off easily without damaging the frame or leaving residue behind. This is one of the big advantages over permanent modifications like stippling. If you ever want to switch textures or remove it entirely, your Glock looks factory again.
