Kahr Decal Grip or Talon Grip

mser · #1 05-01-2012, 11:47 AM

I'd like to add a rubber grip to my PM9. I've researched a little bit on the rubber Kahr Decal Grip and rubber Talon Grip. Both seem to have equal advantages. Not really interested in other options. In all likelihood it'll be one of these two. Anybody have insight to share on either one? My main concern is peeling of the grip, especially around the sharp edges.

My comparison is kinda apples to oranges, but here goes. I bought the decal grip for a G19 and the talon for a PM9. From my experience, both seem to stay on pretty well, but the talon wraps completely around while the decal grip is only side panels and a few smaller sections to apply here and there. I like the talon better, because I can get a better purchase with the material on the front and backstrap.

I like the Talon Grip better also. Good quality, wraps all the way around and great CS. Today I had a less than pleasant experience with a KAHR CS person.

I have try different types of grips and I like Talon rubber grips the best.

I have the Talon rubber grips on my PM9. They were easy to install and I like them a lot. Never tried the Kahr's.

+2 on the Rubberized Talons. I have them on my cm9 and cw9 and like them.

I wonder if the Talon for the CW9 would work on my CW45. I know it'a a little wider, but still think it can be trimmed to fit.

I must be the only one who likes the stock Kahr grip on my CM9. I thought about getting Talon Rubberized for it, but after shooting it a bunch I decided to leave it alone. I do have them for my *cough* PF9, but haven't put them on yet and don't know if I will since its getting some Cerakote and I don't know if I want to mess with that.

Does anyone have concealed carry experience with the Talon granular grip? The granular grip seems to allow a better purchase on the grip but at the cost of comfortable carry against the skin in an IWB holster. The rubber grip seems to provide a slightly better grip and be more comfortable to concealed carry against the skin IWB than either the granular grip or no grip at all. It's a tale of two textures I guess.

God bless
