Talon grips came in today, will apply it soon.

I found a solution to affix the Hogue Handall Jr to a Kahr CM9.

I read this on another forum and did it: Remove the slip on grip. Put on a section of bicycle inner tube, *then* put the Hogue Handall Jr on top. The increased friction between the two layers works and it is difficult to get it to shift now. Unfortunately, it takes the comforting gel-like feeling away when squeezing the grip because the rubber (or whatever it's made of) can't spread out as you compress it due to that same friction with the inner tube underneath. I'd say on a pocket pistol the palm swell for those who don't mind it makes a big difference in rapid fire as the grips are so narrow to begin with. If I were someone that liked skinny jeans, maybe I couldn't afford the space to enhance the grip.
