I recently bought this 3D printed handgun grip and I am pleased with the overall quality. The finish is smooth and looks good on the firearm. The fit is secure without any wobble or gaps. It adds a nice amount of padding to the grip, which makes it comfortable to hold and noticeably reduces felt recoil at the range. Overall, it is a solid and well made upgrade.
This is not a comprehensive review, but merely a first impressions. I've had the grip, a Recoil Rider Standard grip for the Ruger LCR, for about sixteen days, and a little more than half of that I was traveling, so I have yet to shoot the pistol with the grip on it. However, compared to the other grips I've had on the LCR, this one has given me the best initial reaction.
I liked the tackiness of the Hogue Tamer Monogrip that came with the LCR, but part of the reason this grip exist is because the Hogue, in addition to being a lottle too short for my liking, sticks to clothing, making it difficult to draw from concealment. This grip doesn't, while providing slightly more length, and seemingly comparable cushion.
This is the fourth grip I've had on the LCR, and the only one, save for the Hogue that didn't make it feel like the LCR wanted to jump out of my hand the moment I picked it up. Also, the length isn't much longer than the Hogue, but I can get a good three and a half finger grip, whereas the Hogue is only a three finger grip. It might not sound like much, but it does made quite a difference for me.
So far, I'm very pleased with the Recoil Rider grip. I can't wait to test it out on the range.
Replaced the factory grip on my Taurus 856 with another brand and it didn't improve the fit for my hand. Read several reviews about the Recoil Riders and decided to try em. Well, the large grip made a difference. Comfortable and grippy. Improved the trigger reach for me and wasn't unreasonably priced. Thanks for making a great product!
Grips arrived. promptly. fit great, no problem installing, nice and snug
I continue to buy these as I have several Ruger LCRs. I bought this one for the 9 mm. I was pretty interested to see how I would do it as I keep reading the 9 mm kicks too much. It didn't with the boot grips I had on it, so I took the leap and bought these as they are lighter, softer, and at least as compact. I wish I'd done it sooner.
It took the gun down to exactly 16 oz, and the recoil is negligible. I attribute this to the Ruger tenon polymer setup, but also these fine grips. Between the two it's a marriage made in heaven, as became evident when I fired several cylinders full of Federal BPLE.
Don’t bother with big name grips, or expensive exotics.
These grips are comfortable, very utilitarian, because the grip distance is perfect! I have Boot Grip on LCR ..38, CCW’s on LCR 9mm & S&W J frame 360. Definitely helps absorb felt recoil, grip not too soft or rubbery, perfect for AIWB!
I soldiered for 40 years, not claiming anything other than these are as perfect a grip I’ve used on a J frame or LCR.
Makes the 638 much more pleasurable to shoot and still can pocket carry.
The grips are fantastic. They fit well on my j frame 640 perfect. It helps with the recoil, just ordered some for my 649. After searching for a good grip that well for me I found it. Highly recommend them. Semper Fidelis
Love my recoil rider grips. I have them on three LCRs. Order the boot version for my normally carried LCRx. The concealment advantage of the j-frame no longer exists. Recoil Rider grips slide easily out without hanging onto clothing and absorb recoil very well. If you carry a J-frame yet admire the smooth trigger if the Ruger LCR, Recoil Rider is your answer.
I got the standard size Recoil Rider CCW grips for my S&W J-Frame and loved them, so I just bought the Large size CCW grips for my Ruger LCR in .357. They are about the same size as the two-finger rubber grips that came with the LCR, but they allow you to get a third finger on the grip and control the muzzle flip much better.
They are very soft, even softer than the standard size Recoil Rider grips on my J-Frame. These grips completely eliminate any snap or discomfort associated with shooting .38 Special through my LCR. I have not tried .357 yet, but I can shoot .38 Special +P all day with these grips.
These grips combine a smooth snag-free surface and excellent ergonomics with shooting comfort and better recoil control. I literally can shoot my small revolvers better, faster and with more accuracy when using Recoil Riders. If you own a revolver that Recoil Rider makes grips for, buy them! You will not regret it.
Just make sure to follow the instructions in the provided videos to make installation easier. In the case of the LCR, the grip screw will bottom out, so stop tightening when the video says to stop tightening!
I have been through a lot of revolver grips, especially smaller frames. Your grips truly are a game changer. At first I thought the angle would be hard to learn but, it's great. The recoil reduction truly isn't marketing. It simply works.
I told this company as soon as they have grips for charter arms I would buy them. I purchased them about 10 min after getting the e-mail they were available. I have them on a taurus 856 UL, and now a charter arms bulldog .44 special. They work great.
The small grips that come on Jframe type revolvers are always too small for my hands. This one (large) is much better. Also non slip.
These grips are amazing reducing recoil and they feel great!
Tried these J Frame Standard Boot grips on a .38 and .32 H&R versus the stock grip and a VZ grip. Definitely can tell a difference shooting .38+P, much more comfortable. Didn’t notice a difference shooting the .32 H&R in recoil, but these grips do have more clearance for speedloaders, which is a plus. Putting them on is easy, taking them off takes a little more effort. I didn’t have a towel with me at the range to use as is suggested in the video for removal, that probably helps. Ordering another grip just got to decide another Boot or try the CCW grip.

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.
