Hi. This might be old news, but, I only found one reference to Talon slugs on this site.

Talon Fragmenting Slugs.
- Thread starter Raider03

I've tried them, was sent a sample. They were accurate, but very pricey, twice the price of the FX Hybrids. For what I shoot, it was too tough justifying the cost. Hopefully, they will refine the production process and can reduce the price to make them more affordable. They would be a great option is the price was more in line with other slugs currently available.

True, FLgunner!
And the same could be said for the FX slugs....:
"The FX slugs are accurate, but very pricey, three times the price of the NSA slugs.
They would be a great option if the price was more in line with other slugs currently available."

Did you happen to do any field testing? I live in a suburban situation and I’m interested to know if they fragment rather than ricochet if in the unlikely event that I miss the target

Paul, 
you are talking about urban hunting, correct? "target" = "quarry", right?
OK, if you
(1) miss your quarry, and
(2) hit some kind of backstop (fence, tree, etc.) —
it seems you should be fine (unless you shoot in an environment that is golfball like.... — remember the shoot-a-golfball YouTube vids where people got ricocheted, even 70 and 100y away....).
However, if you
(1) miss your quarry, and
(2) don't hit any kind of backstop — e.g., when taking an angled shot into the trees) —
you might not be fine in an urban hunting context —
because the slug has a hugely better BC in comparison to any kind of pellet, and will therefore fly on for two, three or more times the maximum range of a pellet.
The link below gives some data on the maximum dangerous range of various pellets and slugs for angled shots:

Very interesting reading, thanks for the reference. I had not considered the BC aspect and I think I have been over thinking this..... besides I never miss my quarry so it shouldn’t be a problem
