I bought the j-frame internal hammer standard version as I have small hands. I could feel a bit of reduced recoil, they do work. Unfortunately for me it forces higher grip than I'm used to and changes the trigger position on my finger too much. I had to revert back to another grip after several range visits. I do have small hands though. I can only use round butt j-frames. I bet they'd still work great for others. That being said I'm still considering getting the K6XS version. I think they may make a huge difference on such a light weight gun.

They're lighter, they make .357 +P more manageable, and most importantly they fix the obnoxious J-frame point of aim. A must for your carry pistol.

Real improvement over the stock grips for me, flatter for concealment and handle recoil well. I did go with the 3 finger grip option, which does make it a smidge less concealable.

With these grips full power mags are manageable, and downloaded ones and .38 are very easy to shoot.

Really transformed the gun into a fun shooter.

Grip is a nigh perfect compromise. Just large enough to get a grip while still being pocket concealable. Just grippy enough to handle confidently, but not so grippy that it's uncomfortable for IWB. Comfortable, but the large may be just a tad thick for my men's large hands (when measuring, my hand matched the sizing threshold for these grips). I like it enough that I'm planning to get a standard fit to see if that's even better.
I've tried almost all the Hogue offerings for my LCR, and this is the definite choice for carry.

It worked so well on my LCR I got one for my 340pd and my air weight. These grips give a much firmer and better placed grip than the stock or other grips I’ve used. I replaced laser grips with these. That’s how much better it is. Also, the recoil absorption makes 357 in the 340pd usable. Before I only dared 38+p since it is so light.

These grips feel absolutely amazing. I was worried the large grips would be hard to conceal, but they are perfect. Absolutely the most comfortable j-frame grips.

Grips fit well and are much better than stock

fits and feels great

Super comfortable and great fit for my hands. Pairs nicely with Harry’s Icon 2.0

The fit was perfect and easy to install. The quality of the material, and the look were outstanding. To be honest, I haven’t shot with it yet, but based on the feel of the material and the way it fit my hand, it has to be better than my wooden grips.

I'm basically a S&W revolver guy but I own a 2001. .38 Spl. Ruger SP101 with a 3” barrel. Over the years, I have sought to improve the trigger stroke by using a Wolff nine-pound hammer spring and by centering the trigger, hammer and hammer dog (what S&W calls a double-action sear) with the appropriate shims. Once I got the Recoil Rider grip installed, I could feel an improvement in the ergonomics of the trigger stroke in dry fire. A few days later, I was able to do “fruit salad” comparison in live fire. (To minimize aggravating the arthritis in my wrists, I used a medium-velocity, 148 gr. wadcutter .38 Spl. handload.) The fruits in the salad:

- The apple: Ruger SP101, 3” barrel, 26.0 oz. with large-fit Recoil Rider grip, - The orange: S&W Model 60, 3” full-underlug barrel, 23.0 oz with rigid polymer RevolGrip, unloaded;
- The apricot: S&W Model 640 with the older 1.875” barrel, 21.5 oz. with Hogue Centennial Tamer Grip, unloaded.

Comparing the apple to the orange, the Recoil Rider grip, along with an extra 3 oz., came out ahead for absorbing recoil but, even allowing for the longer, clunkier trigger stroke of the Ruger, I still think that the rigid RevolGrip came out slightly ahead in ergonomics.

Comparing the apple to the apricot was difficult because the much lighter “no-dash” Model 640 had more muzzle flip but I think came out slightly ahead in cushioning.

In summary, I am happy with the Recoil Rider grip and have no hesitancy in recommending it, particularly in light of the two-finger versus three-finger options for guns other than the SP101 and the choice between “standard fit” and “large fit,” the latter being explained with the measurement chart on the website.

A final note: My first Recoil Rider grip for the SP101 did not easily let the internal lugs pop into the hole for the large-diameter pin that Ruger uses with the OEM rubber grips. Being concerned that I might not be able to remove the Recoil Rider grip for maintenance or to reinstall the OEM rubber grip, I used the contact form on the website and, within a few days, received a replacement that installed easily along with a pre-paid envelope to return the first grip.

Really awesome grip. This is such an improvement over the stock hogue tamer grip. The fit is perfect, and the grip this provides is very repeatable forconsistent first shots from a draw. The grip does exactly what they say. It does, it feels very firm and secure like a traditional wooden grip does, but provides advanced recoil absorption. And it is slim, so it doesn’t print, and because of the material it doesn’t grip my shirt and get caught on anything.. Every single aspect of this grip is a win.

I like them

Best grip by far for ant revolver I used hands down, will purchase more!

Bottom Line up front: Great pocket rocket grips, pleasantly squishy, a little slick in texture but that can be remedied with some tape.

I was debating buying a LCR in .32H&R Mag and the new Smith 632 Ti. The LCR weighs 13.9oz and costs about $450. The Smith 632 Ti weighs 13oz and costs $750-800 (not to mention their current abysmal QC). I was heavily debating spending $300 to save an ounce because I'm dumb.

Anyway, I eventually went with the LCR, and saw chatter about the Recoil Rider grips. I initially got them because of their shape and smoother texture for pocket/coat carry. The hogues tend to be too tacky and hang up on the draw. When I installed them, I realized just how much lighter they are than the hogues the LCR comes with. The gun now weighs 13.1oz. So I had my cake and ate it too.

Shooting:
As they come, they work fine as long as your hands are dry. The polymer gives a little under recoil, absorbing the mighty recoil of the .32 (LOL). I wrapped a little hockey stick tape around them to add just a bit more bite on the hand. The geometry of the grips allows as good a 2.5 finger grip as you would expect on a boot grip, and my draw index is unchanged. So far so good.

The LCR is now my primary underwear gun around the house and on beer runs.
