Product Description
"Zero-compromise" concealed carry grips for the Taurus Small Frame Revolver line, including the Taurus 856, 605, and 85. 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 and improve the grip angle of your Taurus 856/605/85 for a more 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: Corrects the classic snubnose "pointing-down" angle, allowing 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 all Taurus "Small Frame Revolver" models: Taurus 856 (including Ultra-Lite), 605, 85, 327, 380, 650, 850, 905, and 942 (fits all exposed, shrouded, and concealed-hammer models).
- Speedloader Compatible.
Weight Comparison
- Taurus 856 UL (stock): 15.7 oz
- Taurus 856 UL (Recoil Rider): 14.9 oz
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 grip to make it more pliable: warming evenly with a hair dryer on low heat, or five minutes in a clothes dryer on medium/permanent press. Do not use excessive or focused heat, as exposure to temperatures above 100°C (212°F) could cause discoloration and/or warping.

I got the grip and installed it. WOW! That really changed so much about the pistol. I grip it better. My trigger finger fits perfectly, it looks great, and the grip angle is awesome. It looks like a semi-automatic. Thanks again for producing such a great product!

This is my 3rd grip ordered. They help with recoil, 30% less, they feel great. When you draw you are on target.
