This grip fit my hand much better than the stock wooden one, and very easy to install.
I have been carrying a snub 38 for 47 years now as a police and civilian. Went to Gunsight training in AZ back in 1976 where I learned to all ways carry a backup. Since then I have been looking for the prefect grip for pocket carry. Puts my trigger finger in the right spot with enough grip to hold.
The boot grip for the LCR is an absolute necessity. I never really liked the factory tamer grip as I thought it was just too bulky. HF grips for the LCR are highly regarded in the industry but they just dont fit my hand for some reason which is a huge bummer. I always ran the hogue bantam grips on all my LCRs and even modified one to work with the lcrx. I made this grip work for me for a long time but it leaves alot to be desired when shooting anything more than 22 mag. Where they really shine is pocket and ankle carry. I came across RR grips and picked up one of the standard length grips. Super impressed at the recoil reduction with 357 magnum and overall comfort and feel. But as stated before, im almost exclusively carrying a small frame revolver on my ankle or in a pocket. The announcement for boot grips for the LCR had me giggling like a little kid. Ordered two of the large size initially for my lcrx 38, and lcr 32 h&r and just ordered a standard size for my 22lr. These are lighter than the previous lightest option available for the LCR (the hogue bantam) and provide a way more substantial purchase on the gun. No snagging and even the spiciest of loadings are a pleasure to shoot. Attached are some pictures from testing these bad boys at the range today. LCR's should be shipped from the factory with these grips...end of discussion.
I purchased this cylinder release for my 351c which is already fitted with the ultra minimalist RR standard size boot grip. I like the "gas pedal" type feeling it gives me while maintaining a fairly minimal profile. Plus it weighs less than the standard cylinder release, so now my super lightweight ankle carry gun is even lighter! Nice little addition, two thumbs up!!
Very comfortable grips and natural point of aim! Standard J frame grips hurt and these help a bunch. I recommend them!
I replaced the factory grips on my LCRX because the relief pattern on the original rips hurt with recoil from the pistol. The recoil rider replacements solved this problem. As an added benefit I really like the "pinky shelf" on the bottom of the grip. It really completes the solution.
Absolutely tamed the recoil on my 856 Executive Grade. A completely different shooting experience. Now my aging hands can handle any (reasonable) load I put through it. Five stars.
I can say a lot about these grips so I'll try to keep this TLDR. I shoot over 1000 rounds a month through 3 j-frames. These are almost all 148 gr. Wadcutters, this is because a basic bitch 442 or 642 will make your hand bleed at around 500 rounds with any other round. The problem is, I want to carry a 158 grain +p semi wadcutter. I want a training round with a near identical point of impact and recoil as my carry round. But I scared, the web of my hand is scared. Previously, the solution was to run a VZ high horn grip. That particular grip is a 10/10 to carry appendix and hard as a slab of granite during recoil. So I'm still scared. I find Recoil Rider while doom scrolling for "pussy hand" pills and I buy one. I like it, it's not as awesome to carry appendix as the VZ grip, but it's still a 9/10. I change back back to the VZ. Awhile later Recoil Rider releases this boot cut grip and I think this will be perfect for winter coat pocket carry. Returning back from the range, just now, as in only moments ago and I'm in love. This grip runs, the faster you run it the "softer" it feels. Groups tightened dramatically while point shooting at 7 to 8 feet. No more blood on my carry gun, no more band aids on the web of my hand, no more 8 year old girls calling me a pussy. Nice. So now I can carry the Underwood 158 +p and load training rounds with a comparable POI. All is right and I can finally get around to replacing the batteries in my smoke detectors.
Let me start by saying this: when I call these grips good enough, that’s not an insult. That’s the highest praise I can offer. History is littered with people chasing perfection like a dog chasing cars, never catching it, and usually getting flattened in the process. Perfection’s a fool’s errand. What matters is balance. What matters is good enough to never quit.
And these grips? They are the very embodiment of that principle. They’re not too short, not too long. The texture grips without grabbing. They flex just enough to eat the recoil without turning to mush. They’re tough, but not so tough they beat your hand into submission. Light enough to carry all day, solid enough to trust with your life.
They have that rare, rugged kind of beauty born from utility, the kind that doesn’t care if you notice. They don’t brag. They don’t sparkle. They just work.
These grips are a quiet masterclass in restraint and engineering sanity. They don’t reach for the mythical title of "the best." They just get up early, roll up their sleeves, and do the damn job. And in doing so, they prove an ancient truth that every honest mechanic, soldier, and engineer knows in their bones:
Good enough is just right.
Easy installation. They fit the outline of the back strap perfectly. They have give but aren't overly grippy to snag in concealment.
Handles recoil well and is the best I have found for pocket carry.
Perfect size and handles recoil like a champ
Great fit and finish. I wasn't sure what to expect from these when I got them. They are slick enough to draw easily from a pocket, and provide a good amount of cushion. Installation was very easy.
So happy I found this grip for my old 638. It is comfortable & gives you a firmer more secure grip especially when drawing. The grips look really good & the extra pinky space doesn't hamper concealability at all.
These fit my hand better than the UC grips I’ve been using, and im expecting recoil should be a lot easier to deal with! The whole grip feels like itll absorb a ton of shock, which’ll be perfect.

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.
