TALON Grips Launches New Smith and Wesson M&P Shield Grip
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS, Colorado (August 20, 2015) – An interview with the designer, Mike Morris
What promoted the idea of a new Shield grip design?
The original Shield grip is a few years old, and we believe that the overall integrity of our designs has only improved with time. We believe that the new design’s aesthetics are as good as or better than the original with improved ease of application as well as increased durability.
What were you trying to accomplish with the new design?
The original grip was designed in the first half of 2012 and has basically been a top seller ever since. This was one of our first grips utilizing our modern manufacturing capabilities.

We now have limitless design capabilities. (more…)
