Rings were easy to mount and level scope; no issues torquing to spec (Talley website lists torque specs). Finish/machining of the rings was flawless. Medium rings provided perfect low mount clearance with a 50mm objective (~1/8 gap over barrel; allows use of scope cover/caps still) for a bolt action w/ carbon barrel. Talley does not recommend thread locker…will see with use if bolts loosen, but followed their instructions to start with for now. Quick shipping and great price through OpticsPlanet.

Initial fitment and overall product appearance is great on the M&P Shield 1st gen. The auto-on/offfunctionality upon picking up or setting down works seamlessly, and the ability to change settings or disable the auto features is quickly accessible with the click of a button on the laser light. Visibility of the laser and flashlight is great for the small sized firearm it is paired with. Easy to adjust the laser and set for co-witness with factory sights.

I don’t typically write reviews, but figured I read/research enough based on others that I should contribute to return the favor for others when products are of high quality. These handgrips are easy to install and really add to the tactile feel when holding the M&P Shield. I recently purchased the original M&P Shield because the price point was considerably lower than the 2.0, and the only real noticeable difference in hand was the textured grip. These Talon grips with the rubberized texture were an inexpensive way to improve the feel in hand, and they went on easily with a little heat from a hairdryer to finalize setting them in place. Fitment is excellent on the Shield; the only *minor* caveat would be that there is a slightly visible bump/seam where the overlap gets tucked under after wrapping the one edge around the trigger guard section where it meets with where you start (vertical seam in line with the mag release button). This is hardly raised (thickness of the talon grip overlapping itself) and doesn’t impact function/feel, but wanted to note for the scrutinous user/observer. The overall benefit of grip easily outweighs this observation. Time will tell how the grips holds up, but overall first impressions of the product are excellent and I don’t doubt the durability with use.

These are my favorite handgrips with the rubberized grip that helps keep your hand in place. It has a tactile, solid feel that doesn’t slip, and feels softer/more comfortable compared to other plastic/polymer grips without rubberized sleeve/coating. Also like that it has a snap in bottom plate creating a storage compartment versus other manufacturers that leave the bottom open. Have 3 different chambered builds of varying lengths and this is on each one. Great product especially at the price point offered.
