5 years later and still a great video. Definitely helped me with my first talon grip install.
I love Talon Grips, but you could use the FNX 45’s factory grips as a cheese grater as is. 😂
100% gnarliest pistol I’ve grabbed so far definitely could use some improvement I’ll be ordering these for sure
Gloves lol gloves especially since we r all operators
They don’t do well If your hands are wet though imo
One of my favorite guns. I have over 7500 rds through mine. Runs like a champ.
Yurr Next I hate you forever. The envy I felt after reading your comment is incomparable to any envy I’ve felt lol 😂 jk man but no really don’t catch a felony! NEVER!

Then maybe I shouldn't tell you I have both the black & FDE... Both with Trigicon RMRs?
After seeing this video, I just had to do the same with my pistol. It’s not an FNX but an SFX FDE Canik TP9. And wow what a difference the black made the gun look. It had the Beige Talon already and I thought I would never remove it because that’s how I bought it. Good thing I did because I remove the back strap and added the other one and maaaaaaaaan, it made a huge difference. Wow what an experience. So thank you on that walk through…it kind’a feels like I have a new gun.
I'd love to hear some feedback on how well the Talon grips stick after time. It seems like the small pyramids which form the texture don't give much surface area to adhere to. Any thoughts?
Bob Elam I’ve had my talons on my fnx45t for nearly a year now, shooting at least twice a month, and they haven’t moved or started to wear at the seams or edges yet.
What grip size did you use? The small(Straight) or large(Curved)? Enjoyed the footage, thanks.
I would have made a few reference marks during the dry fit and folded the paper instead of cutting for a convenient handle for the second stage of the peel.
Looks good & ready for action!
THIS VIDEO WOULD BE VERY WELCOMED IN THE ASMR COMMUNITY IMHO ….VERY RELAXING TO LISTEN TO
Talon Pro grips are amazing, well made and durable. Just ordered a FNX, definitely going to add them to it as well. I was concerned they wouldn’t adhere well to the grip texture on the FN without sanding them down. Thanks for the video.
I fucking love this pistol. The engineers were like "Do you want more capacity and accessories or more function and usefulness?"
And FN was like: "This gun is going to be the most unnecessarily huge pistol ever that has way more shit than anyone would ever need or use. Its basically America if America was a gun.
And the engineers were like "Sooooo..... yes?"
I think I will try this on mine. THANKS .
Just installed my talon on my fnx45. Too easy! Can't wait to go try it out at the range!
What size grip is that? I want to buy it but the website doesn't show the difference in size
if i wanted to take it off is it easy or does it leave a residue do you know by chance?
not to sound dumb, nut i have never owned talon grips before so why heat it up? what does eating it do make it stick better?
Talon grips to have AWESOME products. I have their kit on my RIA tac ultra fshc 45acp and shadow systems mr920l
Great.
The FNX45 Tactical has one of the most aggressive texture I've ever felt. I seriously don't think it needs to have skatebboard tape on it.
I wonder if you could file the grip down before application so it doesn't make the grip thicker
Thank you
You're welcome
I put the Moss colored Talon Grips on my FDE XDS45.
Yeah, that would look good.
All that is missing for that total cool look is an Octane 45 silencer, that changes the look from just pretty cool to a "Man From Uncle" gun. A 1,200 lumen light with laser under that barrel really finishes off the look and functionality of that gun. The grip is a good place to start though, 20 bucks for a new grip is a pretty cheap upgrade, I have those installed on every gun that I just might use in the real world, that's how good those are. I put them on my AR's and other rifles, anything with a pistol grip gets this treatment for me.
Bill MacKinnon no bro the 45osprey. It’s also square shaped and it complements the FNX nicely
I guess that's why they still say "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Maybe it'll look OK on the all black model.
How hot should the heat gun be when applying heat? Im worried about melting the rubber talon grips, and also worried im not applying enough heat to activate the glue.
OMG,,the factory grip is agressivive enough,,why put grip tape on it!
Would you recommend sanding down the pyramid pattern on the grip before applying the grip cover?
No. There is no need to destroy the factory grip. I really won't make any difference in the feel of the rubber wrap, and you'll reduce the value of your gun.
I just Talonized my 20+ year old Kimber 1911 with Recover Grips. It turned out great. The Recover grips are a great way to add a picatinny rail to a 1911 or Beretta 92 but they do have a cheap feel where the 2 halves fit together at the front strap. The Talon grip totally fixed that. Thanks for turning me on to Talon and Thanks for saving me 10%.
That's what I'm here for! :-)
@@JustinOpinionChannel could you do an update for us? I'm interested in the grip but not sure about their longevity. Just updating by comments would be fine too
looks great but I'm not putting a sticker on my gun.. No doubt the edges will get rolled up a bit in the near future..
Not if you install it right and don't pull your pistol behind you with a rope.
I have talon grips on all my guns including the FNX-45 tactical with a rmr when you buy a $1600+ pistol you put on it what you want lol
Many, who want this Talon grip, from what Ive seen, file and sand down the grid like grip before applying. Any advice on that?
Do NOT do that
Jose Angulo Great way to destroy your weapon!
Talon grips, cheaper than stippling!
Bad ass navy seal toy!
Why? This would be a downgrade on an fnx 45. I own 2 and love the factory pattern. This
Why do you need 2?
@@emanresu7208 because I haven't bought a third yet
Anonymous User lol
I have both the black & FDE... Both with a Trijicon RMR...
I have the m2.0 compact. The grip is way too rough for me. I prefer the texture of the vp9. I've considered sanding it a little but not sure if it will ruin the look? I want to try rubber talon grips but I don't know how much of a pain it would be to remove if I don't like it?
The rubberized grip would feel much nicer to you. And the good news is that they are easy to remove and don't leave any residue behind. And inexpensive enough to be worth trying.
Justin Opinion awesome thanks. I'll give it a try.
Heating help contours the grip all the way closer in small areas, but it make the grip life span much shorter, how do i know? been using them for years spend over $300 plus on grip and materials, if you heat up the grip the rubber and the glue bonding get lose, while the glues stick to your firearms more, in my experience with out heating the rubber last longer
It's possible you might be heating a bit too much? One reason I have stuck with a hair drying and not a heat gun. I'm sure there is a temperature at which the structure of the material starts to break down and weaken. I've had good experience with mine so far including some that have been on for a few years and been heavily used. But it's good to have options and get different points of view - so thanks for that.
Is yours the large or small back strap?
Small (straight) one. I tried them both and the small is better for me.
I just got this gun on Tuesday, and ordered the Talon grip 2 hours ago. This video will help immensely. Thanks.
Happy to help - enjoy it!
I have an sw 2.0 9mm and I hate the grip. Like are your hands sweating or something? Why do you need that much grip? I know I sure don't.
Balance out the aesthetics by putting a strip of the Talon grip tape along the rails! Would really look awesome and now am thinking I want the FDE instead of all black!
Do what I did & get both...
Rock on dude
I will try my very best. On, I shall rock!
Did you have any problems shooting rounds that are less than 230 grains?
I don't think I put many through it that were lighter. Perhaps a few 200 grains. Something I plan to do more with on the next outing. I have heard that there can be problems with the lighter bullets, so I'm curious to test for myself.
Let us know what you find out!
180 grain jammed my fnx 45 tac every shot
James, thanks for the reply and information!
I put a dpm spring on my FNX-45, ill try lighter ammo to see if it makes a difference
Have a couple of these and you don't need to do anything to the grip the one that comes on it from the factory is ten times better than that stick-on crap.
Very Nice..
If carrying the fnx45 tactical in any position where it makes contact with your skin this is a worthwhile upgrade. The stock texture is amazing for shooting but can tear up your skin when moving. These products have a use case that is for a practical purpose as much as aesthetic. All depends on use case🤷
Honestly, is it worth to trouble?
I don’t like challenging Murphy either lol
It’s bc of the lil hands
What red dot is that brother ?
It's a trijicon rmr I believe.
The black grip makes it look green or am i stupid😂
Sorry the stair grip tape looks stupid
Like your style lol .
I cant do that to my baby.
Bitching gun!!! Sorry, i got carried away. It's a kick to shoot!
I love my fnx one of my favorite to shoot I find myself not using my red all that much when shooting this pistol it just sets in my hands perfectly and it's very accurate I ever here anyone talking about the accessory of this pistol what is your thoughts . 🇺🇸 GOD BLESS AMERICA
Just put on a hogue grip.
I think so it’s a bull shit !!! Original is better, I have this the gun to.... I m so sorry, have a good time guys !!!!
It’s seems tacky but man it looks fucking bad
If you think you need more grip than what comes from the factory, you need to rethink grips. These are the best grips I have ever seen and that stick on BS, will roll up, come off and is pretty much a waste of time.
Looks like shit fnx tactical don’t need cheap skateboard tape on it mines fine without it
Lol…
They add extra back straps options to this pistol. I find it comical you need (skateboard) grip tape to hold your pistol. I dream of owning this gun some day but seeing you owning it and adding skateboard tape to it is comical to me. Squeeze the damn gun, I notice you say you like the way it looks but fuck man, do a after video of all your mods to show what you've done to it, this alone makes me think you cant hold a handgun.
Daniel Taff I personally would have liked to see some before & after shooting video included. It’s likely there was zero difference with the grip tape installed. This was little more than a paid infomercial in my opinion.
hahaha............this is not a small gun to hold on to. It shoots very well and after running several mags through drills it can get very cumbersome to grip. So you can "squeeze" the gun all you want when you get yours and see for yourself. I do not have the grip on my .45 but do have it on the 509 and it helps.
I think you meant to say "Making the FNX-45 more tactile" .Grippier/Grippy'er..... not real words. Say TACTILE. Tactile, tactile, TACTILE.
I like grippy and grippier. Sometimes I say "much more grippier". Tactile is simply a word to describe a sense of feel or touch - it does not of itself indicate the degree of friction produced or experienced. Sorry to annoy, but I'm not always trying to sound like a scientist. ;-)
