Hi,
And welcome to the forum.
Are you having an issue with your grip?
As you probably know, Talon is pretty much the industry standard when it comes to grip tape kits. They come in different textures, from rubber to sand paper, depending on your needs/comfort. If you don't like it, you can always remove it. They're not too terribly expensive to experiment with.
All I have to offer you is that profound glimpse into the obvoius. I've never felt it necessary to enhance the grip on any of my pistols.

I have only ever put Talons on my Masada Slim. I wanted a bit more of an aggressive texture. They run around $25 mark. Never thought of putting them on my Hellcat though.
I was just wondering to me I think the hellcat has enough texturing for me but also I have never got my hands sweaty or wet and maybe in that case you might need more texture grip

Hi,
That is certainly a consideration. You might want to experiment with wet hands. Some grip tape might also come in handy if you ever use gloves, depending on the gloves.
Thank you for your indulgence,

Hellcat? No. My old Smith Bodyguard (1.0)? YES and it was a game changer. My one complaint about that gun is that it never felt secure in my hand, as small as it is (I have huge hands). Talon changed that. Definitely recommend. But they also have a rubbery version (as opposed to the "sandpaper" version). If that's more comfy for you.

When I still had my G17, I used Talon grip tape, worked great

I have the rubber Talon Grips on all my Smithys due to the "sandpaper" grip being abrasive while concealed carrying.

How do you like them?

I like them. You have to replace them after a year or two, but they are worth it. I will try sanding down the grip a little before I install in again on my Shield 9. Makes them comfortable to carry.

That does look WAY better than the black Talon sand-paper front strap tape I put on my Ronin....I have to say, all sub-$1500 1911's need front strap tape IMO. Maybe a few that have checkering....but very few.
