$10.50@ Amazon. Really impressed so far with these. Just feels like a mild stippling job on plastic, not rubbery. Application went well with heat gun and they were cut very well. I stippled the front strap on mine a while back and the grips adhered very well even to that area. The area behind the takedown latch in my pics is actually 3M Safety Step though as i wanted something more aggressive for my left thumb.

Those look exactly like the Talon grips, I have them on all my pistols. I prefer the rubber over the sandpaper option.

Maybe @wganz can chime in when he gets his but these don't feel like rubber at all, more like stippled plastic but flexible enough to conform to the contours with a heat gun when applied. |

Interesting, here's a shot of the Talon's on my XDm45C.  Attached File |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Czechers: Coming in and dropping "they are better" is a GD thing. What makes them better? Part of the question was “how much” and posted the answer since I saw them while on PRP’s web site. Was not the one that stated they were better. Ordered from eBay, the other brand of grips for the XD subcompact & tracking indicates delivery tomorrow. thehun06 said they were better gives an explanation so that these could be included in the XDM parts order if significant improvement. Hopefully, this clarifies things for you Best regards, |

I use their sandpaper variant from Powder River ... several classes ... the grips haven't moved ... Traction Grips and others have moved under use for me ... Powder's have not ... and yes I know how to install them ... PRP's grips are the best in the business for the XD platform ... sadly I think the XD platform days are number with the Echelon release ... |

i ordered PRP extreme grips a few days ago for my new XDM elite compact b/c of the split up pre cut pieces so i can use only what i want. that said, ive dealt with don at traction grips for a decade, have had them on all (3) of my original XDM's back in 2010 as well as some custom applications, and the fit was always perfect. they all stayed on through a few thousand rounds per gun without issues

Thanks I appreciate that, I'll be carrying the XD in hot steamy conditions so I'll keep an eye out for movement. I did hit them with a heatgun, twice to ensure I had a good bond after scrubbing the frame with alcohol.

I like how they are cut |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By thehun06: sadly I think the XD platform days are number with the Echelon release ... Talked to the SA rep at the Echelon release event in Plano and he said that they were going to phase out the XDM line as they get Echelon production ramped up. Except for the 10mm variant is selling really well. I am guessing that the original XD line will be kept for the PRK market since they are already on their list. |
