Product Description
"Zero-compromise" concealed carry grips for the Kimber K6XS and K6S revolver line. Before, wheelgun folks had to choose between shooting comfort (rubber grips) or carry comfort (wood or G10 grips). Recoil Rider revolver grips provide both, featuring the recoil absorption of rubber grips with the snag-free comfort of wooden grips. Plus, they reduce the weight for easier carry. If you're carrying your revolver AIWB or in the pocket, these utilitarian grips will provide a superior shooting and CCW experience. These grips are available for the aluminum frame K6XS, as well as the steel-frame K6S DAO and K6S DASA.
Features
- Absorb recoil: Recoil Rider revolver grips cover the backstrap with a rubbery material that mitigates shock. The hotter the ammo, the greater the reduction in recoil.
- Snag-free: Unlike traditional rubber grips, Recoil Rider revolver grips won't snag your clothing or rub against your skin when carrying AIWB or in the pocket.
- Low-Profile: Conceals like boot grips but provides a three-finger grip with a spot for your pinky.
- Optimized trigger reach: Backstrap thickness provides a natural and comfortable trigger finger placement.
- Lighter weight: Reduce the weight by almost an ounce compared to traditional grips, offering the easiest CCW experience available.
- Natural point-of-aim.
Compatibility
- Compatible with the Kimber K6XS, Kimber K6S DAO, and Kimber K6S DASA.
- Speedloader Compatible.

Sizing Guide

- Standard Fit: Optimized for small and medium-sized hands. If your hand is equal or smaller than the measurements above, choose this size. This size offers the easiest draw for pocket carry due to the narrower width.
- Large Fit: Optimized for larger hands. If you hand is equal or larger than the measurements above, choose this size. This size offers the most recoil reduction due to the wider and thicker backstrap.
- Note that the sizes differ in width and backstrap thickness (not length).
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.

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!
These grips cushion well, draw easily, and were easy to install. A nice mix of the original wood grips and Hogue rubber grips.
I had a set of G10 grips on my Kimber k6xs and and the recoil impulse wasn't terrible, but very noticeable!! Enter the Recoil Rider grip! This grip made shooting the snubby much more enjoyable and my accuracy improved because I wasn't anticipating the recoil as much!!! Great product!!!
