This grip fits the J Frame snugly without having to remove grip pin, easy to install and the Grey color is not as light as it appears in photos. I referred to the sizing chart furnished on the website and I fell in the middle of the guidelines I chose the large CCW grips, glad I did, fit my pocket carry holster and my J frame is completely concealed in my pocket. Fits my hand perfectly and my pinky has a home. At this point I cannot speak to the durability of the grip, but I can't wait to put some rounds down range and experience the obvious recoil padding.
Ordered RecoilRider grips for my J-frame 638 so I could shoot Buffalo Bore 158 grain +P LSWCHPs without busting my hand open. They work great! Superior to stock boot grips, more comfortable than HamreForge grips for shooting this particular load. So far, my absolute favorite J-frame grips. I pocket carry 90% of the time, these feel great in the pocket - lightweight, non tacky feeling, awesome spongy feel. They feel great in the hand and dampen recoil significantly. Super comfortable.
Bought a S&W 640 Performance Center and installed these grips, they dampen .357 recoil out of a snub significantly too. Will absolutely buy more so I don’t have a naked J-frame. 10/10 recommend!
I've been using DCC clips for quite some time and I really liked how well they held on to my belt and pants, however, I noticed the clips were causing my Nexbelt to shred the nylon along the edges of the belt.
I put these Pants-savers on the DCC clips and they worked to protect my belt and pants.
As an experiment, I tried using heat-shrink tubing on the DCC clips and they sort of worked, but not nearly as well as the 3D printed ones.
I decided that, if I buy another holster with DCC clips, I get some of these pants-savers to go along with it.
Lightest J frame grips I could find at under one ounce. Grip material is not sticky or too smooth. I have shot about 100 rounds so far and they seem to be holding up. All J frames in my carry rotation now sport these.
As a tip, heat the grips with a blow dryer before installing and they will slip on much easier.
Everything was great!
I purchased the standard size recoil rider grip from my Smith & Wesson Airweight pocket revolver.Being an aluminum frame,the 38+ P rounds have had a noticeable reduction in recoil with the recoil rider grips. Makes practicing with a high round count less fatiguing on my hands. Also works well with my pocket carry. I’ll be a return customer.
Wonderful grip, lets you get a nice high hold on the revolver. Absolutely soaks up recoil!
This is my second purchase from Recoil Rider...this time for my S&W Model 36. I put 100 rounds through it yesterday and WOW...what a difference. Very comfortable to shoot this gun now and I "think" my accuracy got better! Excellent product and I highly recommend them!
Very comfortable, handy and lightweight.
Best j frame grips I have found.Bought 3 sets so far
I ordered a set of S&W J Frame grips for a shrouded hammer J Frame. After they arrived I decided I wanted a set for an exposed hammer J Frame. David was very helpful and patient in the process of getting them exchanged.
Many Thanks,
Bob.
I really like the grip for my Model 38. Great communication to ensure I got the correct grip.
I have installed Recoil Rider grips on all of my small frame revolvers including j frame airweight. Feel great, have improved accuracy and lessened felt recoil.
Bought a set for my J frame and liked them so much I decided to buy a set for my SP101. Had a problem with the discount code, contacted Dave and he made it right. A good company to deal with.
Absolutely love the new large grip!! I actually enjoy shooting the K6XS now! Groups are much better and my pinky is not oddly positioned like with the Hogue rubber grip. Man was that rubber grip tough to remove, whew.
Oh yeah thank your wife for letting you make this 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.
