I have the rubberized Talon grips on my Glock 19 (3rd gen) and on my M&P Shield. I carry the Shield daily about nine months out of the year and I'll transition the Glock in during the slightly cooler months when I can dress in heavier clothing (Florida).
While I do really like the increased tackiness that the grips provide and that it does not cling to my clothing, or irritate my skin like the sandpaper ones surely would, I've noticed that after only a short amount of time, the pieces around the backstrap are slightly peeling off.
I can press them back on and they stay for a bit, but they peel again a short time later. It hasn't peeled enough that it's really become a problem with gripping the firearm, but it's a bit annoying. I've been meaning to add adhesive to the pieces, but haven't done it yet.
In fairness, the weather causes a swamp of sweat that must shorten the lifespan of the grips. Additionally, while I rubbed the pistol grip down with lots of alcohol, I should have used a brush to really get the alcohol in all the cracks and crevices.
For the price, not a bad product at all. I didn't expect a permanent solution without needing a replacement, but I think in less hot weather and with better prep before install, the Talon Grips would last longer.
I've also used Agrip in the past and liked the feel a lot, but it is also far from being permanent.
