Walther PPS M2 Gets a Talon Grip!

[@icysurfer1]

Absolutely helps, and makes it look even more Badass. I love Mine with the Talons.

[@_baller]

Lol you need a hair dryer? All single dudes in their apartments like wtf

[@chileheadcraig]

Didn't realize how slick it was until I got a Hellcat. Had to go back and order these for my PPS M2. Looking forward to trying them out!

[@Fight4freedom.]

Walther PPS M2 took over my Glock collection!

[@ironhorse127]

Justin Opinion I installed my talon grips yesterday and headed to the range this morning. You are 100% right about these grips. Made an outstanding gun even better. Thanks

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

+ironhorse127 Great! No going back now... you'll want them on everything!

[@ironhorse127]

+Justin Opinion I have them on my Shield and my Kahr PM 9. I've never tied the the rubberized ones, only the Textured gritty ones. My one negative with the granulate grip, it does tend to hang up on clothing.

[@icysurfer1]

Also, the granulate does discolor a bit. The rubberized ones are SEXY though. haha

[@dannybutler8437]

I put night sights bought 2 8round magazines and put the talon grips on just like you did there .Sweet Gun I love it

[@Ken-fh8iv]

I've never bought the Talon tape before. Think I'm gonna give these a try. Thank You for the how-to.

[@rayepard2241]

I used your video to install my talon grips today and it went very smooth and feels great. Even the ones for the magazines have the little slits cut into them at the fingers and that helps placing them that much easier... I have (3) 7 round (2) 8 round and the one 6rd.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Cool. Hope you like them. I put one on everything!

[@icysurfer1]

Me too..

[@bobbycooke8974]

Can't wait for the comparison videos, thanks!

[@loumincarelli9203]

Thanks for the video. I just ordered my Talon Grips. I can't wait to put them on

[@cjsteele9594]

Same here!!

[@dubglock2312]

ready to rock and roll now!!! love talon grips

[@randallreece3636]

Thanks for the video. I'm getting ready to install mine. I knew you would have a video showing installation on the PPS M2 for not only instruction, but to see how they look on the handgun. I was right. I always use your code "JustinO" to save on my Talon Grips.

[@_baller]

You don't need to move the trigger just pull the slide back

[@stevechenoweth3491]

Great video. Thanks for the demo.i have to get one of these grips.

[@IloveDoubleD]

I have Talon grips on almost all my pistols one of which is a PPQ. Love'em and not expensive at all. That PPS M2 looks nice and you can pick them up for about $300.

[@ironhorse127]

When disassembling pistol, only move the slide back an 1/8".just enough to relieve pressure on take down tabs. You wont need to touch the trigger for reassembly. A little nuance of the pistol. Free advice. Lol. Thanks for posting the video.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

+ironhorse127 I'll try that, thanks. But wondering how that makes a difference as it is the trigger bar against the firing pin safety block that is the problem, and that is positioned when you pull the trigger to un-cock the striker. But I'll verify. Won't be the first or last time I've learned something!

[@chrishenning8829]

I shoot this gun so much better than the S&W Shield. Love it. Its my daily carry

[@CaveWyatt]

Lol! Haven’t used a hair dryer since the 70’s but Harbor Freight makes a nice heat blower. Use with caution. But seriously, folks, I ordered a PPS M2 last week and immediately ordered a Talon Grip for it the same day. Ah, the convenience of Amazon.

[@michaelwalden6111]

Good job.

[@72cmcinc]

Much better!

[@martins3514]

I recently purchased a pps m2. I noticed the front of the slide moves up and down if pressure is applied (If that makes sense). My question is, does yours do the same? I agree with you, the Talon made a world a difference!

[@lnfertileTurtle]

Martin Saenz mine does the same thing, it's just because it doesn't have full slide rails

[@monkeybastard]

mine does also...

[@glockster68]

I added rubber talon grips to mine as well...it is my EDC gun, and works really well. The only fault of the Walther guns PPS, PPQ guns is the stippling sucks. I wish it was like the M&P /shield or CZ P10 series stippling,otherwise they are great guns

[@CarlVanDoren61]

8 round clip review please, need the extra length, thx for sharing

[@ClotheslineCo]

Finally got my Walther.. PPS M2. I had been eyeing the P22 and PK380 for years until discovering this gun. Absolutely love it but I've been trying to find a grenade green rubber looking grip for it and I haven't seen it on anything other than the P22.. Any suggestions for any other grips?

[@mikestone9129]

Installed Talon grips on my M2. Came out beautiful, feels great, easy to install. But didn't get the extended mag grip add on.

[@cjsteele9594]

For some reason you have to order it separately for 2 dollars!

[@joez9839]

My PPS M2 is 4 days old and you don't have to do the trigger reset thing when reassembling. I just did it 5 times. Release mag, rack, pull trigger, pull down on the tabs and the slide comes off as nice as your please. Realign the slide and it slides right back. Rack it and you're ready to go. My gun, too, had a card saying I had to reset the trigger. I'll do it one more time. Hold on. Nope. Everything works just fine. Takedown update. Since most are used to pulling the slide back a bit to relieve tension, Walther includes trigger reset instructions. If you don't pull the slide back you don't need to do the trigger reset thing.

[@joez9839]

+joe z Oh, btw, the Talon grip is AWESOME!

[@joez9839]

+joe z Oh, btw, the moustache is extra. Over on the right of the Web page for $1.99.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Yeah if you pull the slide back more than 1/10th of an inch, the disconnector tab gets popped by the cam groove on the slide and the trigger bar moves up into the reset position preventing the slide/striker from moving past the trigger bar.

[@icysurfer1]

I do...

[@michaelogden4035]

I just put the rubberized Talon grip on my Shield. Nice.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

+Michael Ogden Makes a big difference, doesn't it! Best $20 mod you can do to any pistol.

[@toynazi]

+Michael Ogden I have them on mine also. Actually I have them on all of my pistols. The rubberized ones are so much better than the granulated ones IMO. There is a guy who sells his own brand of Talons on Ebay. They are slightly cheaper. Talons are $20 He sells his for $12 They are the same material just without the T logo. His name on Ebay is Boo dads grips if you wanna check him out.

[@jeffellis6544]

Bought the M2 right when they came out, and the Talon grips as soon as they were available. LOVE them a lot.... Feels great and shoots better. At least I do.

[@JustMe-999a]

Love the PPS, but it does have a slippery grip.

[@FlyingHen07]

Keep the PPS M2 videos coming! For some reason the rest of the world hasn't caught on yet

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

+FlyingHen07 LOL. I will. As a matter of fact, I was recently at the range with the PPS M2 and the CCP doing some side-by-side. That will be coming soon.

[@FlyingHen07]

+Justin Opinion don't forget the Shield, G43, and XDs! Keep up the good work!

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

+FlyingHen07 I listened to an interview with Hickock45 and he explained why his review of the m2 was only tepidly receptive (in my opinion, he's always shot better with the Walthers than any other pistols, but then seems to hedge his recommendations). He said that it was too heavy compared to his current favorite in the subcompact form factor, the Glock 43. He may have also mentioned the additional round in the flush-fit magazine. For better or worse, Hickock is hugely influential.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

Myanameis Beestingz He is, and has earned that influence. The best any of us can do to serve the viewer is to provide supporting rationale for our opinions and to try to remain fair. It's great to have so many choices - no one's choice is wrong if it's right for them.

[@icysurfer1]

Hickok loves His Glocks.. It is all good. He is a great teacher, and shooter. With a sense of humour and an ability to laugh at himself. The hallmark of confidence. But, I like the feel of the PPS M2 over any Glock, it feels more solid, less plastic, and has a better trigger. It really isn't that much heavier than the 43, and is a similar profile.

[@mikefay4438]

Check drop safe recall 1/19. Great Vidio.

[@ironhorse127]

According to Talon, mine were shipped last Thursday. Hoping they arrive soon. This gun does need them. Jmho.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

+ironhorse127 I agree, it is needed. You'll LOVE it.

[@tjsworld2338]

Mine didn’t come with the little piece for the magazine

[@copndonuts]

have to order that separately ......... 7 and 8 round mags

[@bosse641]

This is the carry piece for me. ....so fine. ....does it come with rails?

[@BasementOps]

The PPS (original) comes with one

[@metalmullins]

what kind of holster are you using to carry it?

[@intacticalblack]

Seems a bit defeatist by adding the Talon grips in Just My Opinion ;-)... I bought the PPS M2 over the Classic because of the new grip texture mostly the rest of the ergos were a bonus. Nice job of putting on the Talon grips either way... to each their own. Thanks for the how to +Justin Opinion... Tube On!

[@icysurfer1]

All Polymer Pistols are made better by Talon Grips.

[@leecox1513]

Justin: Nice review of the Talon. I may have missed it in your video, but does the Talon grip add any particular bulk to the grip? The video seems to show that the answer is "no," but thought I'd ask. Thanks.

[@ericpeterson336]

Are the original PPS magazines compatible with the M2 version?

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

+Eric Peterson Unfortunately, no. Check out my review of the pistol, I think I mentioned that there. I wish they were.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Do Talon grips have any potential to leave any permanent residue/adhesive if you wanted to remove them? Btw, in reference to the slide/frame interference upon reassembly, my understanding is that this happens as a result of pulling the slide back a bit too far when disassembling the gun. On my PPS m1, if I just barely pull the slide back when working the release tabs, it doesn't move the trigger bar so that it has to be reset like you showed, and the slide goes right back on. Funny thing is, I thought I learned this trick from one of your videos on the m1!

[@joez9839]

+Myanameis Beestingz I'm curious about this also since aftermarket grips sometimes peel off. As for the slide, as I've stated above I don't move the slide at all. Press down on the tabs and the slide slides right off. Slide it back on, rack, and you're good to go.

[@mateobiggiekilp7686]

it could weigh much less but cant change that sir.

[@icysurfer1]

That's the only downside to the S2. But, the heavy slide and long rails add shooting stability too.

[@wlftexas916]

Any trouble with it peeling off? Just curious.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

+WLF Texas I sometimes have the backstrap strip move, because my grip style tends to push it - but only on certain design patterns. Otherwise, I get long life of hard use out of them. For under $20 I never have any complaint.

[@wlftexas916]

+Justin Opinion thanks,

[@_baller]

Grips ok to me

[@josephwallace5485]

Hi, Thanks for the video. Should I address you as Justin or Mr Opinion? I went to the site to order, I was given the choice of "Rubber Black" or "Granulate Black". I really liked what you had in your video, which one would that be? Thanks again!

[@CWB1863]

+Joseph Wallace I'd say rubberized.Much better than the granulated for comfort.

[@JustinOpinionChannel]

+Joseph Wallace What you see here is the rubberized. I prefer that for any carry gun, or one that will contact skin or clothing. Granulate is better for a range or competition gun.

[@josephwallace5485]

+Justin Opinion Thanks, I appreciate the response AND your videos! I just recently retired and finally bought a pistol. The wife wouldn't stand for any guns in the house while the kids were little. Woohoo they are all grown up now and since Obama is trying so hard to TAKE our guns I thought I should "Get them while I can"!

[@josephwallace5485]

+CWB1863 Thank you! I originally went to purchase a CCP due to arthritis in my hands, but the guy at the gunshop steered me to the PPS M2. Told me it was a much better pistol and almost as easy to rack as the CCP...I think he was correct....

[@CWB1863]

You made a much better choice, congrats on your purchase.
