Hickok, I just want to thank you for introducing me to the Talon Grips this past summer. I purchased a G27 (which I LOVE) for EDC and immediately got a talon grip, it being a smaller gun and all. I love it. It rubbed my side raw a little bit, but I sanded it down and have gotten used to it. You're right about one-handed shooting being a breeze. The grip is small (good for Glock's big grips) yet provideds a lot of friction which is perfect. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us all!

@bigosbro21 , Thanks. Yeah, you can see why I tailor them to so many of the other guns I shoot, such as the M&P, the Desert Eagle, etc. I'm spoiled by them. Once you're able to get a fantastic grip on a gun, it's hard to go back to a mediocre one.

Hello Hickok45, I wanted to ask you if you know anything about desert eagles. how reliable is the desert eagle? As Glock reliable? I am thinking of buying one for home defense. Sorry to keep bothering you, but I respect your opinion

[hickok45]

@eastofakron1 , Seems okay if you keep it clean and lubed really well. I would not keep one for home defense, but that is just me. Too many other better choices.

@hickok45

I own a glock 21 for my office and a Kahr P380 for my CCW. Now I just need a good home defense gun that is super reliable. I know glocks are great but I don't want to own the same gun twice Thats why I was looking into a 1911 or desert eagle. I can't buy a shot gun because my local range won't allow them to shoot them there so I won't be able to practice. What do you recommand other than a Glock that is a reat gun, reliable and trustworthy?

[hickok45]

@eastofakron1 , A Sig, M&P, Springfield, etc. would work fine. You might want something different, though, just for kicks and variety. Maybe a nice revolver you like, or maybe a 1911. AFter all, it's the 100th anniversary coming up, so maybe a 1911?

Thanks for your videos, very informative. One question that you didn't seem to cover in these shooting techniques videos.

Do you use the pad of your trigger finger or the crotch of the first knuckle to pull the trigger? Or does it have more to do with the fit and size of the handguns grip? Should this be a consideration in choice of weapon for every day carry?

I have big hands and use the crotch, whereas my wife has small hands and tends to use the pad of her trigger finger.

how long do the talon grips last before you have to replace them? thx

@eastofakron1 yea the g21 is a great weapon.

put it sidewides - KILL SHOT! and let the casing hit you in da head...now thats gangsta!

[XxJDSx1980xX]

what kind of holster is that?

[YoDawgoneeleven]

@eastofakron1 A .50 AE is an over the top caliber and far too big for practical defense. What you you want is a caliber that you are comfortable with, a grip you are comfortable with, and a decent mag capacity. Home defense means that concealment isn't a problem. Go big, but not too big. I would sugest to anyone, an XDM. The 9mm has 19+1 capacity and is very comfortable. Springfield got a lot of critical acclaim for the XDM series. Desert eagle calibers are .50, .44, and .357. Don't get a D.E.
