Product Description
"Zero-compromise" concealed carry grips for the steel-frame Diamondback SDR revolver. 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 25% of weight compared to stock grips and improve the grip angle of your Diamondback SDR 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: Reduce the grip weight by 25% compared to factory grip options, making your snubnose feel effortless in a pocket or waistband.
Compatibility
- Fully Compatible with the steel-frame Diamondback SDR with both bobbed and external hammer.
- For the SDR-A, note that Recoil Rider J-Frame grips (both CCW and Boots) are compatible.
- Speedloader compatible.
Weight Comparison
- Diamondback SDR (stock): 20.9 oz
- Diamondback SDR (Recoil Rider): 20.6 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 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 small grips that come on Jframe type revolvers are always too small for my hands. This one (large) is much better. Also non slip.
This recoil grip significantly reduces felt recoil and has completely eliminated the trigger guard bite. Installation was straightforward, though it does require some force and patience to complete properly.
This is an excellent replacement grip for the SDR. I opted for the larger size, which suited my hand size well. Highly recommended — A+.
I ordered the large size, I just met the hand measurements given for large. I wear XL gloves. In short, it works. A lot more durable than it appears and I can still pocket carry/draw with no issues. Puts my trigger finger right where it should be, which is usually good. I have arthritis in my fingers so I may order the smaller size to get more finger on the trigger. Felt recoil in the hand is significantly reduced, I can shoot full house mags all day and not regret it for the next week. Well worth the money in my opinion.
I got the large size and it helped reducing the felt recoil by a lot. Installation was very easy, especially after warming up the grip with a hair dryer. The removal of the original grip was a huge pain. I wish Recoil Rider would include the grip removal tool.
Saw lots of reviews on these for many different revolvers especially the diamondback SDR went ahead and purchased and I couldn't be happier if not any bigger than the factory grip yeah it seems to hold three fingers the grip angle on it seems more natural as well doesn't tear up my stomach or stick to my shirt super happy
