The Talon Grips 701R transforms the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 380's factory grip surface into a secure, controllable platform. This precision-cut adhesive grip enhancement addresses the common complaint of slippery polymer frames during rapid fire or adverse conditions.
What Makes This Different
Unlike universal grip tape solutions, the 701R features laser-cut patterns specifically engineered for the Bodyguard 380's unique frame geometry. The textured rubber compound provides aggressive traction without the abrasive feel of granulate textures that can snag clothing during concealed carry. Installation requires no permanent modifications to the firearm, maintaining resale value while delivering immediate grip improvement.
Key Features
- Precision-cut rubber material designed specifically for S&W Bodyguard 380 frame dimensions
- Textured surface pattern increases grip security in wet or sweaty conditions
- 3M adhesive backing ensures permanent bond without residue upon removal
- 0.5mm thickness adds minimal bulk while maximizing control enhancement
- Covers front strap, back strap, and side panels for complete grip coverage
- Black finish matches factory Bodyguard 380 aesthetics
- Installation possible without disassembly or gunsmith services
The textured rubber surface maintains consistent grip pressure across temperature ranges from -20°F to 160°F, making it suitable for year-round carry applications. Law enforcement officers and concealed carry permit holders report improved shot-to-shot consistency during qualification courses and defensive scenarios. The material resists oils, solvents, and standard cleaning chemicals used in firearm maintenance.
