Talon grips are easy to apply. Follow the instructions and you can't go wrong. Remember the sandpaper textured ones are for range guns only, the rubber ones are for EDC.
My favorite carry gun is my S&W 686+ in a Lobo iwb holster, but that one gets less carry time than a Glock 30sf. I can shoot the 30 better and faster. Plus 11 rounds are more comforting than 7 rounds.
