Product Description
"Zero-compromise" concealed carry grips for the hammered Diamondback SDR revolver. 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 and improve the grip angle of your Diamondback SDR for a more natural point-of-aim. If you're carrying your revolver AIWB or in the pocket, these utilitarian grips will provide a superior shooting and CCW experience.
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.
- Natural point-of-aim: Improved grip angle mitigates the SDR's "Point-Down" feeling which required bending the wrist at an unnatural angle.
- 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 more natural and comfortable trigger finger placement.
- Lighter weight: Reduce the grip weight by 25% compared to stock grips, offering the easiest CCW experience available.
Compatibility
- Fully Compatible with the Diamondback SDR.
- For the SDR-A, note that Recoil Rider J-Frame grips (both CCW and Boots) are compatible.
- Speedloader Clearance: Tested compatible with the Speed Beez speed loader.
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
