One of our most frequently asked questions, is “what grip do I need for my Springfield”? Springfield lists their firearms with both the barrel length and the frame size. The thing to keep in mind when ordering TALON grips for your firearm is the frame size/height instead of barrel length. The frame height is the length of the actual handle on your firearm. It’s also worth mentioning that you will want to order for the size backstrap you’ll be running. Those two things combined will ensure the proper fit of your TALON grips.
In the below image we are comparing the XDM Elite full-size, with the compact version. The barrel lengths are identical on each model. You will also see a significant difference in frame height. This image makes it very clear to see the height differences from frame to frame.
