Product Description
"Zero-compromise" concealed carry grips for the Kimber K6 revolver line, including the aluminum frame K6XS, the steel-frame K6S DAO, and the K6S DASA. Before, wheelgun shooters had to choose between shooting comfort (sticky rubber grips) or carry comfort (rigid wood or G10 grips). Recoil Rider revolver grips provide both, combining the recoil absorption of rubber grips with the snag-free carry comfort of wooden grips. Plus, they shed almost an entire ounce of weight for easier carry. Recoil Rider grips for the Kimber K6 cover the backstrap to optimize trigger reach, and feature an intuitive grip angle for a natural point-of-aim. Whether you're carrying your revolver AIWB or in a pocket, these grips deliver an upgraded shooting and CCW experience.
Features
- Recoil Absorption: Covers the backstrap with a cushioned, shock-mitigating material that tames even hot ammo.
- Snag-free Concealment: Unlike traditional rubber grips, Recoil Rider grips have a non-tacky exterior that glides against cover garments to prevent printing, shirt grabbing, or chafing your stomach during AIWB carry.
- Natural Point-of-Aim: Grip angle allows your sights to align naturally like a modern semi-auto.
- Low-Profile: Conceals like a two-finger boot grip while providing a full three-finger firing grip with a dedicated pinky rest.
- Optimized Trigger Reach: Adds backstrap depth for repeatable, comfortable index finger placement on the trigger.
- Featherweight Carry: Saves almost an entire ounce compared to factory grip options, making your snubnose feel effortless in a pocket or waistband.
Compatibility
- Compatible with the Kimber K6XS, Kimber K6S DAO, and Kimber K6S DASA.
- Speedloader Compatible.

Sizing Guide

- Standard Fit: Best for small and medium-sized hands. (At or below chart measurements).
- Large Fit: Best for larger hands (At or above chart measurements). Thicker backstrap improves recoil reduction.

Concealment Note: Both sizes are fully optimized for AIWB and pocket carry. Choosing Large only increases grip width and backstrap thickness - overall length remains the same.
Assembly
If you are having difficulty installing or removing the grip, I recommend heating the grips lightly and evenly with a hair dryer on low heat. This will make them more pliable and easier to install and remove. Do not use excessive or prolonged heat, as this could cause discoloration.

The feel to hand is excellent. Allows for better pointablity. Would like a touch more palm swell but that is subjective to personal taste. Overall, an excellent upgrade.
Received the grips and they were very easy to install. The grips have a nice feel to them and are much better than the wood grips that came with the gun. They feel very cushiony and do not snag as much as rubber grips on my shirt. Can't wait to test them out.
When it comes to grips for my Kimber K6S I am reminded of the classic Goldilocks and the Three Bears fairy tale. The first was too hard (Kimber OEM), the second was too soft (Hogue Overmolded Monogrip), but the third was just right (Recoil Rider CCW Standard). Firearms is largely about personal preference and after years of trials and tribulations, Recoil Rider hit the mark for me. Simple install, excellent grip texture and comfort, improved recoil mitigation, reduced AIWB printing, and high-quality fit-n-finish. Well done, David — and thank you.
The material is perfect for a small pocket revolver. I was pleasantly surprised that the shooting angle is now more natural instead of having to point the barrel of the gun down to align the sights.
I am a young man in his seventies and have been a die hard 1911 .45 guy! Due to wrist issues as well as hip issues, I’ve gone to the light weight revolvers. I bought a set of these grips for a Kimber K6XS and must say WOW! They due mitigate recoil over the stock grips and even with + p ammo, makes the pistol much easier to shoot and control! Highly recommend the large size as they don’t have any impact on pocket carry! Five stars and if you’re on the fence about purchasing, don’t be! Go ahead and get a set. I love mine!
