I have a neck injury that cost me the feeling in my hands, for years I have not been able to shoot much as a result. These grips are amazing! They allow me to get significantly more range time. Definitely adding them to all my revolvers! Thanks for an amazing product that actually works!
Second review, finally I took my Ruger sp101 9mm out with the recoil rider large grip and it is painless. The material be used is just perfect for revolver grips. This design is minimalist, yet just as comfy as the hogue mono grip when shooting. It doesn’t reduce recoil obviously, but it gives a comfortable surface area for recoil to spread out, in turn giving no hot spots and a more comfortable shooting experience. I had no trouble with clearance on the cylinder with moon clips. I could easily drop 500 rounds of +p(if I was rich). I only shot 40 rounds of 124 +p, and a box an a half of 115 federal target and half a box of Tula 115 steel case which may be nato spec they kicked more than the federal; about 130 rounds total( would shoot more but ammo is expensive). These grips real improved the ergonomics, I can get slightly higher on the gun, and with a proper revolver grip with my support hand thumb clamped behind the webbing of my shooting hand I can fight the recoil and the recoil can’t hurt me. Great design David, sorry this review to so long to get out.
Cutting straight to the facts theses grips 1. work as advertised, they made .357 very manageable with that little bit of squish combined with the texture and size. 2.The installation of the grip was painless and took less than five minutes from start to finish with the video as a guide. 3. The price is very reasonable and the shipping was quick . If your on the fence go ahead and buy one you're not going to regret it.
Great fit and good feel. Absorbs some shock and works with speedloaders.
Perfect fit for my Ruger LCRx 22mag, the grip is lighter than the original Hogue Grip that comes standard on the LCRx 22mag.
Really love this grip over stock! I’m getting another to replace the rubber grip by another company on my steel frame 357 as well. Good stuff!
I am 73 years old and don't have the grip strength I once had. The stock walnut grips are beautiful but slipped around in my hand, even with 38 special. The recoil rider grips made a huge difference with much greater control and felt recoil was significantly diminished, even with Federal hydra-shock 357 magnums. They are also shorter, so easier to concealed carry. I had no problem installing them, just used a small space heater to warm them and they slipped on with minimal effort. Great product and highly recommended!
Received my grips this morning, 5/18/26 for my Kimber K6s DASA. Shot several different loads, from standard pressure .38, to fully loaded 158 grain .357 Magnum. The 357 is NOT, my EDC, and the recoil in this little Kimber, is heavy to say the least, but definitely doable, and not uncomfortable at all with these grips. My EDC ammo is .38 150 grain Hard Cast Wadcutters, doing just under 900 fps in this particular revolver, and it is very nice, and comfortable with these grips. I have been shooting for over 60 years, and Recoil Riders, are the best grips I have ever used.
This is my second set of grips. The first one's were not the boot grip which these are. Not surprisingly these are just as excellent as the first set. They're really lightweight, fit perfectly, and attenuate recoil nicely.
They're the best LCR grips you can buy. Hogue better luck out.
Installed on my EDC revolver (Smith and Wesson Model 360PD). For my test run, I fired 100 rds. of .38 SPC +P 158 grain ammunition. Grips and recoil management was very comparable to the S&W rubber combat grips (OEM for Model 60). The S&W OEM w/ third finger slot is my "go-to". This made the session okay.
Second range trial was with .38 SPC +P 125 grain ammunition (typically my EDC defense loadout) and these grips made a very noticeable difference. They are less visually appealing than wood or most S&W J Frame grips. This change in grip module to the Recoil Rider made the range session enjoyable. I do regularly practice with my EDC.
A negative is that these inhibit ejection of all five casings (one typically gets hung up). Loading with J Clips, speed strips was fine. Not all speed loaders worked (that is not a showstopper).
I've tried Hogue, Delta, Pachmayr and now Recoil Rider, and so far this is the most BALANCED grip for the intended purpose of the LCR (I have the 9mm version).
That title use to belong to the stock Hogue (I kept going back even after purchasing more and more grips), but the Recoil Riders is lighter, less sticky and allows an even higher grip (so hopefully this will remain the king). I noticed in all the pictures, the grips didn't fully cover the lower part of the hammer pivot pin but mine does. I'm glad for the design change as it makes it look more like a finished product and tells me David is still making improvements.
SUGGESTION: If you can somehow design an LCR (not X) specific grip where the web of your hand can sit even higher, I think it would further differentiate Recoil Rider from all the rest.
DISCLOSURE: I have not taken it to the range yet, but just dry firing in this setup I can already tell that this is the most solid feeling from all the grips I've tried in the past. With the Recoil Riders, I naturally hold the grip high enough that the cylinder release acts as an index point/semi-gass pedal for the thumb. Add in the support hand, and the front sight NEVER moves throughout the entire stroke. I also tested by drawing/picking up the LCR without looking and the hand/thumb always goes to the smae spot every time. This design/feel is a winner and hope the materials used will last the test of time.
perfect fit/will help with shooting
work well
Just tried out the new grip on my S&W 637. Tamed down the harsher +P loads and mellowed out the standard pressure HP rounds that I change up between practice and carry. Rides very well in the IWB holster and actually feels better against the skin than the wood grips in came with. Does not snag or hinder draw from pocket either. Glad I gave the Recoil Rider a go. Give it a try. I'll bet it will work out better than what you might have now.

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.
