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 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 just bought a new SDR-A and wanted to upgrade the stock grips so it wouldn't stick to my skin. Everyone recommended Recoil Rider grips so I figured I'd try them out...and they were right! Perfect grip angle, doesn't stick to my skin at all, and eats recoil like a champ. If you have an SDR or SDR-A you need to get them!
I've yet to shoot my revolver with these grips but the fit, finish, and feel are excellent. These larger grips fill the hand and allow your pinky a spot on the grip. They're still very concealable as well.
Even though they are Charcoal, it looked like a lighter gray in all photos, which I liked. They are very dark Charcoal they look black to me. The grips are not long enough for my hand and I ordered the large my pinky finger has nothing to grip but air. Bummer on both! That said, I really liked the feel of the material and the style of the grips. Just to small for me . With the right sized hand I can see where they would be quite recoil adsorbing. I plan on putting them on my daughter's SDR.
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+.
