The shipping was super fast. There is a little more felt recoil then with the monogrips that came with the gun. They are a little bit smaller and they don't grab at your clothes.Like the other ones i'm quite happy with them.

A solid product . I have 3xl to 4xl hands. The large fit grips make the trigger easy to pull smoothly and my groups have become smaller now. Very snug fit in the frame also . I will shop here again.

Great grips, love the shape! The texture was a bit weird for me with the way the grip is made (personal issue). I wrapped one or two layers of hockey tape and it's perfect for me. I would def recommend if you want s grip with a little more trigger reach.

I have a Taurus 856 UL, and usually I give up after 50 rounds due to the abusive recoil. Yesterday, I put 100 rounds though it, including 20 of +p defensive. Get Them!

The factory grips on my 442 had a good feel, but were just too short. My new Recoil Rider grip has better feel and now my pinky doesn't feet left out. Even though it is a slip on, it seats well, and doesn't move.
Completely happy the the grip snd the company. Will recommend without reservation.

Really comfortable and concealable. The texture is softer like rubber but not tacky. Shirt doesn't get stuck to the grips like the stock ones. Shoots nice and adds some length on the trigger so my finger sits better on the trigger and doesn't wrap through. Very satisfied and very worth it!

Small, lightweight, and easier to conceal than my wood grips. Not to mention they look great. Fully recommend

Fantastic! I have a box of grips for the small frame Taurus revolvers, and this one beats them all. The installation could not be easier, and they feel perfect. The increased trigger reach closely matches a k frame S&W for me, a big improvement from most grips. If you are hesitant to try them because they do not look “traditionall”, don’t worry, the gun points very naturally. Close your eyes and bring it up from a low ready and the sights are dead on. These are a real winner.

The recoil rider grips are just long enough to get a full grip on the gun. They are easily modified in 30 seconds with a sharp knife to work with a red dot mount. They also allow for a more modern grip on the gun because the grip pushes your support hand farther away from the cylinder gap. The grips point much more naturally than standard grips that come on j frames which really helps in finding the dot as well as tracking it in recoil. The cylinder release is pretty sick as well

Yes, the Recoil Rider is genius, and here's why. The "hammerless" J-Frame is a most perfect pocket gun. It is also unique in that it affords a high grasp that brings its bore axis almost in line with the shooter's forearm; this can significantly reduce muzzle-flip.
But since its introduction many years ago under the "Centennial" name, this unique gun has been poorly served by grips that were designed for typical revolvers. Finally, Recoil Rider has solved the puzzle and unleashed the J-Frame's true potential! By covering the backstrap all the way to the top of the "hump," shooter's have an unprecedented ability to grasp the gun high to reduce recoil and enhance accuracy.
In fact, the additional material on the backstrap also solves another problem for many shooters of J-frames - that being our trigger finger going too far around the trigger due to the short distance between the backstrap and trigger. Poor trigger-reach can compromise accuracy. The Recoil Rider allows for a girp similar to a K-frame or Colt D-frame; if you prefer those trigger-reaches, Recoil Rider is a must for your J-Frame.
Finally, the material absorbs recoil better than any hard grip, yet it is not tacky. It rides in the pocket or under clothes just as smoothly as a hard grip, but boy it's more pleasant to shoot! Now, for comparison, I have genuine Craig Spegel cocobolo boot grips too, which many years ago were the first grips to really capitalize on the J-Frame's pocketability. But for carry, it's now Recoil Rider for me. Oh, you may be wondering how much bigger the Recoil Rider is compared to boot grips. The difference is negligible (6mm), and unnoticeable in the pocket. Also, frankly, the miniscule additional material on the bottom of the Recoil Rider makes sense and it enhances one's purchase on the grip; again, it's a genius design for shooters like me with average-to-large hands.
This is the grip the Centennial should have had from the start! It's one of those "I wish I thought of that" products. If Smith & Wesson has any sense, they will make a deal with Recoil Rider to bring this grip to all their "hammerless" J-Frames!
Because the "hammerless" J-Frame is my forever-gun, I'm buying a few more Recoil Riders to keep on hand for new guns and for replacements in the years to come.
Job well done!

I purchased the Matte Black grips with a horizontal line texture a couple weeks ago. They are light, just a smidge longer than standard boot grips (enough for a pinky to fit, but still conceals in a pocket), cushion recoil like rubber without grabbing fabric, and make the grip angle better for faster target acquisition. Great grips!

Reddit for the win! Years and years I’ve been carrying snub k frames and cussing them during range sessions. Tons of grips and hockey tape and fails along the way. Well….. these actually work! I’ll be a lifelong supporter!

I have been a Ruger LCR fan but had to agree the S&W was a little bit more concealable. I nearly purchased one but continued searching for grips that would make the LCRx go into and out of the pocket with ease and less printing. I was back and forth over S&W vs Ruger but shootability for me took me back to Ruger. Then I found Recoil Rider grips. If this didn't work, I was going to buy a 637. Wow!! These grips solved this issue. I could not be more pleased. Actually I have three LCRs and will be replacing the other grips. The Recoil Rider is fairly cushy but firm. The material does not snag the clothing. Slides nicely. I am right at the size to determine whether going with the larger grips or the smaller. I chose smaller for concealability and have no regrets. If you have an LCRx you know that grips are limited because the hammer will strike grip when you cock it. Follow the directions. Don't over tighten the grip and the hammer will work just fine. Thank you Recoil Rider. Happy Customer!!

So far anyway.
And I have had dozens over the last 30 years. They are not rubbery, so they dont stick to clothes or skin, the dont stop your hand from getting around the grip either. Pocket carry is akward about this with sticky grips.
The grip angle is different, and it comes to.point of aim the nest I have ever had. It also vo.es out of the picket the best ever also. They say it reduces recoil because of the honeycomb, I only have 50 rounds withnit so far, but Ibwould guess thatbisnprobanlybtrue.
It also dropped almist 3 ounces from somenof the ither grips.
Will get a few more.

If I had these grips years ago, I wouldn't have sold my J-Frame.

The recoil mitigation is noticeable. It shoots more like a rubber grip but without the downsides.
