TALON Gun Grips

Practice makes better. In the world of firearms it makes you better and safer. A study of all firearms discharges in Federal Agencies (FBI, DEA, ATF) from 2000-2003 found that out of 267 total discharges, 102 of them were accidental discharges! One often overlooked practice is correct placement of the trigger finger when it’s not on the trigger. Incorrect trigger finger placement can resulting accidental misfires under stressful situations.  Think about what your hands do under stressful situations, you clench them. If your trigger finger is resting on the trigger guard where does that finger go if you clench your hand?

An article on Active Response Training does a great job explaining the reasoning behind correct index finger placement. Read the article here- Trigger Finger Positioning, Hand Clenches, and Accidental Discharges

We are now offering 7/16″ by 1/2″ patches of material that are ideal to help you develop a correct Trigger Finger Index Reference Points.

We don’t think of ourselves as a covergirl, we view ourselves as a utilitarian hard worker that gets the job done.  When we got the news that TALON Grips made the 2017 Glock calendar not once but 5 times, including the cover we were thrilled, honored and humbled.

Thank you Glock!

It’s that time of the year, the holidays are over and the firearms industry travels from all over the world to Las Vegas, NV to meet for SHOT Show.

We will be showing our products to retailers, law enforcement agencies, military, and the media. The show is not only a good time to meet new business partners but to strengthen the relationships with existing partners.

One caveat is SHOT Show is only open to manufacturers, retailers, and the media. If you want to attend a firearms tradeshow open to the public consider the NRA Annual Meetings in Georgia April 27-30. 

For the latest updates from SHOT Show follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Kydex IWB holsters are the most popular holsters for many reasons; they are durable, fairly simple to make (with experience), and reasonably priced. One drawback is they are made of slippery plastic which has a tendency to move around when concealed.  Many people using Kydex IWB holsters have dealt with the holster slipping down and an undershirt riding up.

A solution to holster and undershirt movement is adding a patch of TALON Grip material on the inside of the holster. The grip material will increase the friction between the holster and the undershirt preventing the holster from slipping down and the undershirt from riding up. We prefer to use the rubber grip material because it is not as abrasive as granulate material and it’s more user friendly, it won’t wear a hole in your shirt of skin.

If you have any other ideas on how to use TALON Grip material please leave a comment below.

We are featuring a different TALON Grips retailer each month. Tulster is the first retailer to be featured in the series.

Tulster started out like many successful business, out of a garage. Their roots are in custom holsters but they have branched out into many other accessories.

It’s okay to make mistakes, experiments can lead to awesome products!
It’s hard to imagine, but at one time Tulster was just a hobby. It all begin with an interest in making a custom holster. After months of research and preparation, the first holster produced was for a Sig P938 in November of 2012. Although a complete failure, it laid the foundation for something much better. Through trial, error, and lots of kydex the Profile Holster was born.
